Lightning Rod

Literary Devices: I think the author called the story Lighting Rod because in the story there was a lighting storm and the computer still worked even tho it was lighting.

What do you think now? Yes I do think that computer intelligence will surpass human intelligence because technology is smarter than most humans already.

Meta cognition: Making inferences and asking questions affected the response because it helped understated the story better.

Are you making the most of your high school experience?

 Yes I believe that I am making the most of my high school experience.
I believe that I am making the most off my high school experience because I have joined many sports and clubs. I have also have tyred my best in all of my classes and i have eared many good marks.
 Another thing I have done to make the most to my high school experience is socialize and make many good Friends.

 This year I have joined swimming and I am really enjoying it.
 I also plan on joining other sports, like volleyball, base-ball, and rugby.
 I find sports are like another way of making friends and having fun doing what you like at school.
 I also think of sports as a way out of school.
 Every report card I have gotten I have had at least one C but for the first year I have gotten 2 A's and 2 B's.
 I think that having a good report card will help me make the best of my high school experience.
 Good report card also means that I could get a good job latter in life.
 If I get a good job later in life that would complete my high school experience.

 I have made many friends since school has stared.
 I believe that socializing is one of the most important things to do in high school.
 Without friends it would be too hard to live for me.
 Friends are what I believe gets you through the day, they make your world.

Hi Leah

Hi Leah,

I want to work with you to make this blog something that you are really proud to show your parents. I thought it interesting that you were reluctant to share and that made me curious. I suspect that it's not because you have personal information posted but maybe because you feel like they would be disappointed with what they saw?

I think that's really unfortunate. You have many posts which is a good sign that you are trying to do well. I do feel like we have some work to do yet, but I think we can get you writing a 4 paragraph opinion piece by the time we are done the course.

I spent some time trying to help you understand what the opinion essay was all about. Did I leave you confused about anything? The best way for you to get good at this is for you to write several and get me to comment on them for you.

Can you please let me know when you are finished the opinion essay so I can comment on it? I haven't seen anything so far that looks like it's 4 paragraphs. But please, don't struggle with this all by yourself. Ask me any questions you can. I'll do what I can to help.

OPION PICIE

Should Physical Education Be Mandatory Every Year of High School?
I do not think that they should be mandatory
I don't think that physical education shouldn't be mandatory because there are people who want to get carries that doesn't involve physical education and they need credits for other subjects and if they make physical education  mandatory they may not be able to reach the credits that they need.
