D#14 HW#4 WP#3 Reflection
it would not let me review the prompt for this assignment, but i looked at summers and got the general idea.
i think my draft turned out pretty okay. I really did rely on the smaller class assignments to lead up to this final draft. I think the brain storming web map thing was really effective! it helped me get my thoughts organized and going in a certain direction. Also how to write a strong intro, thesis, and conclusion. I feel like i have a good handle on how to write an argument/research paper.

D#14 HW#2 Select Editing Strategies
1. Concentration is Key
If you’re going to spot mistakes, then you need to concentrate. That means getting rid of distractions and potential interruptions. Switch off the cell phone, turn off the television or radio and stay away from the email.
*this rule for me is really #1! It totally makes the difference. Seems like a no brainer but how many of us actually turn off the cell, tv, and radio???
Edit actively. Go through your draft carefully, pencil in hand. Actually touch each word with your pencil. Look especially at word endings. Have you dropped any s or ed endings? Do subjects and verbs agree? Does each pronoun have a clear antecedent?
*i used this from the POWA site. Works wonders!

D#13 HW#5 Grammar Assignment #6
since its the end of the semester and the only other person turning in any work is summer I'm going to wing this and hope for the best. i couldn't find a specific grammatical thing i want to work on that would actually apply to my writing and help me in any way. so I'm going to clean up my intro for WP#3 since that was one of the specific things summer commented on about my rough draft. this will be beneficial for me =)
The taboo topic that rules our very world. Parents are often embarrassed to have “the talk” with their kids. This fact is undeniable, you see it advertised on commercials on popular networks such as MTV; about sites you can go to for tips on how to talk to your teen about sex. People are all too often living with eyes wide closed, filling their heads with thoughts like, “yeah, but that won’t happen to me” or “not my kid”. Sex education should be required in schools, because it would decrease the spread of disease and unplanned pregnancy. It's hard to say whether or not someone who has received sex education will then use that knowledge and power to make educated decisions later in life, but it certainly wouldn't hurt. This type of education could mean decreases in unplanned pregnancies and the spread of STD's. Even if parents are teaching their kids what they feel is proper effective sex education, it is important as a young person to receive the reiterated version at school.

D#13 HW#4 Reflection of Peer Review
I did a peer review on summers paper, since she is the only other person with a draft up. I thought it was cool to read her paper after following her blog so closely this semester. i think she is on the right track. I realized that i should probably read my draft all the way through for clarity before i submit a final. (if you can believe it i didn't do that lol!) The comment summer left on my paper did not surprise me at all. she is 100% right, i need to clean up my intro and cite things better. once again turnitin.com has given me a little message saying you instructor has not chosen to allow students to view originality reports. so since i don't know what it says i wouldn't know which areas to work on. oh well.
D#13 HW#3 Peer Review
only 1 other person besides myself has a rough draft up.
