the end of the semester.

Well, the semester is just about over. I can honestly say that I enjoyed Mr. Sweeny's class. It was fun and interesting. The topic we discussed in class were good and they were up to date and were relevant to things that students are worried about and care about. Who is signing up for the summer class? Who is signing up Mr. Sweeny's class in the fall?

The nine year old prodigy

The reading for Wednesday was interesting. Tanishq Abraham is the cutest little boy every! He's different, but in a good way. He is a nine year old taking college classes. One of the professors said that he has the highest grade in the class. He wants to be in college as a full time student. He got bored with regular because he couldn't be challenge. One thing about being that smart is that you don't have that many friends that are his age. Overall, that little boy is going to be great in everything that he does.


As I went on the RBC website, I see Mr. Sweeney face. As I continue to read on, he has put our blog on the schools' website, Sweenglish. For people who aren't talking his class, they can understand a little more about what we in class.

Ways To Stop Bullying

Okay, ways to stop bullying is awesome. I think it is a great idea. We all have flaws about our self, but we should be bullied about though. It is some what helpful to the people that are being bullied and does not know what to do. The most important thing in the video is that they give the number to the hotline for the kids who need some one to talk to when they can't go to a parent or friend.

TheBoy At The Backstop

Okay, the second reading a little bit happy than the first one, but it was still sad. It seems like that the person had been in a situation like that as well. It came easy for the person to read through all of that and get that idea. The fact that the person wanted to help feel happy was really nice. Not a lot of random people actually care about someone that you don't happiness. You so always be nice to someone cause you don't know what their situation is or what they are going through.

The Reading

The readings for April 1st was real sad. One of the readings was about a 12 year old who hung himself due to bullying. This type of thing happens everyday. Kids get bullied over the littlest things. Just because they don't have a lot of money, the way that they dressed, what they look like or because they are smart. The whole bullying things needs to stop. It's just sad that some people have fun making people's lives miserable. Too many young children are taking their lives because someone had teased them.

introduction

Today in class, we talked about introduction for the essay. It's all kind of ways you can write a introduction. You can start off with a quote or a question. If you can relate to the topic, you can add in your personal experience into as well. Facts and data statements are okay. Try to stay away from bold statements like "All of the people" and "Everyone does this"
So, there is a new class to register for the summer. The class is called BioGlish. It's English and Biology combined.  A short class during the summer. They will meet three times a week through May13- June 7. The class seems like it would be a fun class to get three extra credits. Also, you get to go on field trips and stuff. So hopefully people will sign up for it.

essay #3

Okay, so I think essay three is going to be a little easier to write. With the topics that we came up with in class, I feel like I have lot of choices to pick from. I have more random ideas that actually turn into a great paper. So shout out to whoever pick education.

brainstorming

So yesterday in class we did the usual brainstorming for topic for the third essay. It was fun like always, Just yelling out random topics for the essay. I really think we came up with some great topics for the essay. So if you missed class here is some of the topics.

new things

So we have a new schedule for the rest of the semester. We have to bring in a reading and have a lead discussion about that reading. I think this could be fun. We are more involved in what we read and talk about in class. It's kind of the same thing we did with our grammar schmammar groups. Plus I think it's a easy grade.

a new view

For Friday's class, we watch the spoof video of not legalizing weed. At first, I think it was funny and with no real meaning behind. Just a few people making fun of it. As we had the discussion in class, I understood their point of view. Maybe we shouldn't legalize it. Just decriminalize it so people cant get in trouble for it. That's seem fair to me.

essay #2

Okay, I have to admit that the brainstorming idea is some what fun. You get some other topics that you didn't think of yourself. Who doesn't love help, right? Plus, I just like to talk and yell out ideas, even though they have nothing to do with anything. Crime & punishment is a very easy to write about, I will fine. Oh, before I forget. Here are some of the ideas we spit out in class today.

three topics

So we finally picked three topics for the class to write about for the semester. That process was very hard. No one could agree on the same thing. So what we had to do was compromise. At times it seemed that no one wanted to compromise either. In a room with almost twenty people and had very strong opinions about each topic was very frustrating. Then realize that maybe each person should explain why this is a good topic to write about and give ideas about it. That seem to work and we also had to compromise as well. But some people didn't want to compromise at all. After two classes, we got our topics. And our topics are Crime and Punishment, Pop Culture, and Education.

Hello Blog

 I am very unfamiliar with this blogging stuff. This is my first time when looking at a blog let alone even writing one. I suppose this will be fun. Writing about topics and discussions from my English should be somewhat easy. The class is very lively. So the work that we have to is somewhat boring like some of my other class. So I hope you guys like my blog. It shall be better once I get the hang of it.
