Like/Dislike of class format

In Mrs. Giles class, there are some pros and cons. The first thing I like is that it is organized. She tells us what the next few week's schedule is like and she also posts things on the blog. Secondly, I like the group work over the packets. The packets are usually long and boring but the groups can be fun. There are also some things I don't like about Mrs. Giles class. The group work is one of them because even though I like it more than packets, the people in the group can be distracting. Also, I don't like the novel groups. I don't feel that they help me learn anything.

Comments

Mrs. Giles, you had a few comments about my MLK paper. First, you said that my header needs to be TNR size 12. I changed it from calibri (body) 11 to what you said. Next, you said that I need to put a title on at the beginning of my second page. I did, naming it MLK vs. Lincoln. Finally, you told me that I had an excellent paper. I did a great job of introducing and closing my paragraphs. I also have my citations, although I did not use the A&E 2014 citation in my paper. I must have forgot to use that last cite thinking I only needed five. I now realize that I need six.

Chase Meike

Chase Mielke's blog is very factual and motivational. It is about what school really is about. He says that it is not about the education necessarily, it is about all the other elements. Its about getting prepared for the future and becoming a valuable element to society. Chase says that school prepares you for the trails of life as an adult. It prepares you for grief, deadlines, and sacrifices that will help you later. Chase's blog is a call out to students that motivates them to grow up and be mature and find their real purpose at school. He ends by saying "So, do yourself a favor: Man up. Woman up.  No more excuses.  No more justifications.  No blaming.  No quitting.  Just pick your head up.  Rip the cords out of your ears.  Grab the frickin’ pencil and let’s do this."

How to Ride a Bicycle

If I ever have to teach someone to ride a bike I would give them these instructions. First, reach your leg across the seat and sit square on it. Then lift your right leg onto the right pedal with your other foot still on the ground. Begin pedaling with your right foot and at the same time lifting your left foot onto the pedal. Be careful to maintain your balance while pedaling with both feet. If you lose your balance or fall, keep trying until you can successfully pedal around. Depending on your skill or age, you may need training wheels. Have fun and ride your bike safely!
