What I Learned in the Second Quarter of English 10

What I Learned in the Second Quarter of English 10 Paragraph

In this quarter of my Sophomore year, I have learned a lot. In our second quarter we will learn even more and I am super excited to keep moving forward until I finally hit Junior year. I have had so much fun this quarter although I missed a week of school work. Although that happened I feel like I can still bring up my grades even though I feel like my mind is not here educationally. In Ms. Priester’s class I have learned a lot about computers and I feel super smart in using technology. Plus, writing online and posting things. My favorite; exciting part was being able to record information online. We even get to watch some news on Weekend Rap. As days, weeks, months goes by I feel like I am growing up so much and feel so smart. We have learned a lot about Literature and spending time reading, and most of our work was done on computer instead of writing. It has also made is more fun and interesting. I also am learning more from knowing how to use a computer, such as embedding things and uploading. Learning how to post something on Blogger.com is not only for school but when I have something to say, on my free time I like to write on my blog. My favorite website has to also be Google Docs. It is so much fun and really great to use for a lot of different assignments. I can even chat while doing my assignment, especially when it’s a partner assignment. Ms. Priester had provided many websites that we can use and it helped a lot. Without having this class I don’t think I would have known about using computers but go on Facebook and using my email. I feel like I can even teach adults the things they have never learn how to do. I feel like this have made us all mature and it feels like I am already graduating. But I have years to come and it feels so great, I can even type even faster than last year and the year before that. I like that Ms. Priester has done all this online and I can use this whenever I want.

“First Persuasive Paragraph.” -Prompt E

I agree on having a certain GPA to be able to play sports. If you have a low grade I don’t think it’s appropriate for a student to be on the team playing. Either they stay home, get a tutor and make your grades come up. If being on the team playing a sport, it takes time away from the students study time to bring grades up. The students would not have time to make up grades and also finishing homework because they’re always out and about.

I myself have a GPA that I cannot play a sport and be on a team. I am not mad about it, I feel like it’s a way better idea because I get to stay home studying and getting work done while bringing my grades up also. It gives me a better chance to get better grades before the season is over. Plus, I don’t have to worry about anything but myself and not procrastinate.

When people just play sports they forget to get things done and procrastinate on getting their work done thinking they can get it done later. Also, they won’t have time to study because they’re so tired from playing.
