Academic Language Week 29 - School Conferences

Topic Sentence: -Parents should not face jail time for missing their child's school conference. One reason is if a parent is to busy because they work or because they have other children they need to attend to teachers can SEEK ways to get in contact with the parent. Another reason is maybe the parent can't make it because an emergency came up the teach can find some kind of RESOURCE to get in contact with the students parents. Additionally, If the parent if just to lazy to go to the school and talk to you because they are exshousted you can find a way to TRANSFER the students information. In conclusion, I dont think parents should go to to jail if they miss a conference because they  can just be very busy.

Rain, Vacation, or Zombies vs Vampires Blog Post Paragraph

Rainy days are relaxing because the weather makes people just want to sit down and relax rather than be ouside doing stupid things. For example, on rainy days I feel like not going to shool and just laying in bed all day drinking something hot all day. This shows that most people will feel lazy and not want to do anything which makes them sit down and watch telivision all day. Additionally, some people get bored of just sitting in the house not able to go outside  or even go anywere because of how wet it is outside. This shows that if kids wont come out less kids will be getting in trouble because they will be to lazy to do anything. The next time it rains, I hope it will be a weekend so I can just sleep in and lay down all day and just relax.

Testing Thoughts Paragraph

      I feel scared about taking the California High School Exit Exam (CAHSEE). I feel scared because most students speak of it like it's the hardest test ever but other students talk about it like it's so easy. Half of the teachers make us prep for it like its a hard test but the other half of the teachers don't. It kinda confuses me because half of the teacher and students say it's hard but the other half say it's not so I gotta find out which category I am. 
   I know that I have to prep myself to take the test because I don't want to walk in not knowing what to do. I am prepping myself on English because our teacher is helping us write essays and is also helping us how to begin one and what do to, for example before writing an essay you can do concept map to get your ideas. My math teacher is helping us how to prep for the CAHSEE because he is going over on how to do it he is also teaching us the steps.
      I am a little concerned that I will not know what to do and will get stuck and fail. I am also scared that if I don't pass it I will stay behind a year. I am also concerned that I might get distracted because there will be other students who most likely will be talking. Another thing I am concerned about is not knowing how to do the math part because I am not good at math.
      I am confident that I am going to pass the English part because I am very good at English. I am also confident that I will pass the essay part in the CAHSEE because I am practicing and I am getting better at it. Another thing I am confident about is passing the math part because I have been studying the step on how to do specific problems even if I'm not good in math at all.
      When I see my CAHSEE scores, I hope I feel excited because I would feel like I accomplished my goal. I would also feel happy because I would know that I wouldn't have to re-take it. I would hope not to feel sad because I would feel like I failed at something important when I knew I should have passed it. I would also feel like I wasn't good enough because I failed something very important.

She slammed her phone onto the table and told her parents my boy friends parents are dumb.THEY'RE so strict and they are not letting me go to my birthday party. She went down to the kitchen and asked her parents are THERE any food in the refrigerator I'm hungry and I need to let my anger out. Her parents owned THEIR own big house so she was going to have a pretty big party.  She called her boyfriend again and told him " YOUR so dumb why can you ask YOUR parents to please let you go". Her boyfriend asked again and said he would clean the house. He asked his parents YOU'RE going to the movies that night so why can't I just go please?" they agreed and said okay.
