Technology in school paragraph

Teachers use technology to help me learn. For example, in 8th grade, my teacher used to help me explain my homework. It helped me because I got my homework done more often.
Also, in 9th grade, my teacher used to help me with the class work. It helped me because I got a lot of my work done. In addition, in 10th grade, my teacher used to tell us how to do our homework. It helped me because it meant I wouldn't have to have help with my homework. Future teachers can help their students to learn by explaining the work.

Academic Language Week 24 - Online Learning

Online learning is not effective to educate students because they won’t get that one on one help they might need also they might not won’t to do their work because they don’t have teachers or classmates to motivate them, like you would in a regular school. They won’t have teachers to DIFFERENTIATE things they might not understand or need help on because their teachers would be only grading their work from their computer. Some people need their teacher to CLARIFY homework or essays or even how to do the AREA of math. Online schooling isn’t for most people that have an IEP or need other kind of help like special ed. because they won’t understand if it isn’t explain in their own past. That’s why I don’t think online learning is not effective to educate most students.

Academic Language Week 23 - Dog Fighting

Dog fighting should be illegal because dogs are like humans they have feelings to. The dogs are thought a FORMULA to learn how to fight with other dogs till the death. If dogs get thought how to fight they could start being abusive to other dogs and there owners. Dogs have distinct attitudes that have lost when exposed to violence. People have the potential to make other humans stop from making their dogs fight other dogs, because if dogs keep on dying because of their owners then the dog population is going to decrees. That’s why I think dog fighting should be illegal.

Academic Language Week 22 - Felons Voting

I think Felons should be allowed to vote because they are just As normal as anybody that is not a felon. I think Felons can get scared top vote because a SOURCE can trace their past and bring things that they don't want tho get brought up. I donth think it's RELEVANT when people debate if felons should vote or not because I think they should have a right to know.

Poetry Previous knowledge paragraph

I have experienced poetry because I used to write poetry. I used to write poetry when I was upset about something or needed to express my feelings. Here in San Pasqual Academy grandma Gene had Poetry slam where every Thursday we would go and read our poetry not a lot of students would go because they didn't find it interesting but for those who did go it was easier to read their poetry to the people who were there.

When I was in Elementary Scool, I used hear about poetry a lot from my teachers. The teachers would talk about the people who wrote about poetry and how much of a passion it was for them. When I was in Elemetary School I didn't really care about poetry it wasnt really in my mind. I used to see some of my older peers write their feelings down in a piece of paper but I never really knew that it was poetry.

When I was in Middle School I started to learn more about poetry and started to get more interested in it. My teachers were starting to teach us about Shakespeare and his passion for poetry. I also learned that Shakespeare turned his poetry to plays. I also learned that poetry isn't all about love I learned that it's all different kids of poetry from sad to happy to birthday poems.

Outside of School I read poetry and tried to get inspired but I didn't really succeed at that. I started to write poetry and found out I was really good at it I didn't let anyone read them though because they were mostly about my past. I started to go to the library and getting books about poetry and learning more about it.

This year, I hope to get closer to poetry and learn more about it and it's history I also want to learn more about Shakespeare and his background and his childhood. I also want to write more poetry myself and get more informed.

Academic Language Week 21 - Steroids

No I don't think that athletes should be allowed to use any type of drug because it's a dangerous thing to do to your budy because in a PERIOD of time your body will get sick of it and may even kills you. I guess you can say that it's a TRADITION for athletes to use drugs such  as stereoids because it makes them better at whatever sport they are playing. I also think they shouldn't be able to play with the use of drugs because it makes the game unfair kinda like if they cheated because they get better than the other players making them more noticable to fans which means they get payed more. Some athletes dont use drugs such as stereoids and are big and strong but sometiimes can't compete with the players that are using them.
