2007 is YEAR OF THE PIG! CHUN JIE KUAI LE!
The pigs are dancing on Google.com. It's kinda weird.
I get to write an essay on how the Renaissance began and how it changed Europe because I decided that it was the easiest prompt out of the five choices.
Yesterday, we FINALLY played tennis again.
I want to do something fun today. It's the biggest holiday in my culture!
If only I had the cunning ability to write essays really quickly... I really need to focus. I'm getting this ADD feeling because it's taken me an hour to write a three-sentence "introduction with a clear thesis(the one senence that explains what that paragraph is about)".
Here are the instructions for writing a five-paragraph essay given by Florida Virtual School:
1. Tell them what you are going to say (Introduction)
2. Say what you are going to say (Three Body Paragraphs-one for each supporting point)
3. Tell them that you said what you were going to say (Conclusion- which never introduces new points of evidence)
If I wanted to get kids to write essays, I don't think this would be very interesting... It certainly doesn't capture my attention. Can you imagine a kid who, after reading this, genuinely saying, "YAY! I WANNA WRITE ONE!"?
...
LOL- At least the steps were very accurate. After all, that is exactly how you write one.
:EDIT: YES! I FINISHED THE ESSAY IN TWO HOURS!!!!! I AM SO AWESOME! LOL! NOW I "GET TO" GET THE PASSWORD TO TAKE THE EXAM!!
AAAAAHHHH!!!!!!
I'm scared. It's 20% of my grade and I have to pass......
