This race makes manufacturers create and modify cars and add new technology to help win the prize.

This all electric vehicle changed the way we think for the future and all the new pros but also cons that come with an all electric vehicle.

This sparked select people with money to attain one and had other manufacturers work to make a faster car.

This was revolutionary to the car world and helped with efficiency.

This helped the performance world with having super light and good looking modifications for racing.

These vehicles helped scope out the moon and make discoveries.

This also protects the environment from the harm vehicles create.

This technology is still used in todays vehicles.

The sideways engine is used in many vehicles with engines smaller than a v8. This new technology helped shape what vehicles look like today.

This is one of the most famous races in the world and with a lot of European clout it is a way for all manufacturers to test their new vehicles

This made Ferrari into what it is today, with red still being the iconic color.

This was a staple vehicle in the military back in the 40's and these models are very sought after even today.

This specific vehicle is still widely known through the world and was also in various movies.

Vehicles are a major part of history again in the aspect that Henry Fords assembly line introduced the 40 hour work week which is used everywhere in the world.

This was the turning point in mass producing vehicles and making them readily available to the public as a whole rather that a select few.

This was a major quality of life change, but also added new maintenance to a vehicle.

This is just one small detail in the history of technology that is still used on todays vehicles.

The gas engine is still used to this day in most modern vehicles.

Vehicles break down in so many ways including being iconic in movies and TV.

This is why the automobile was a revolutionary invention packed with history.

This will help me retain information.

This can help in numerous ways when it comes to questions and thoughts about the text.

All it does is open up your eyes and add new ways of viewing, thinking, and solving.

I feel like this will help with understanding and retaining.

This will be a key trait to becoming a better reader and writer.

You have to actually think about it and understand what it means.

This makes it fun and having so many different takes on learning can help you find new ways to go about things.

It falls on you to succeed.

Engaging in the conversation and topics can be a part of growth and help you and others.

This can be a good way to learn more and even impress you even more.

Dont be scared to ask for help, it is there for a reason.

They can help you with a lot and even inspire you if you let them.

They are here to help and guide you in the right direction.

It is up to you not just the teacher to make sure you are gaining everything you can.

This means that it is up to you weather you make the effort to succeed or not.

Understanding this helps to make you a better student and a teacher having a better understanding of how you learn so that they can find a way to teach you.

Willing to learn new ways can always help you improve.

I feel like this is the foundation.

Not everybody finds the same things "easy" or to come to them without taking the time and effort to understand.

This is a good way to get the same information but in a different way that may help each individual.

Since everyone learns different and have different experiences it may be hard to teach each individual the same way.

I agree that being flexible and learning new ways of doing things will help.

Finding the best way you learn is going to help you in all of your courses as well as understanding rather than just doing.

I feel like this is helpful when it comes to the individual level, not everyone learns the same.

Asking questions helps to make sure you actually understand a matter rather than just completing it.

Having teacher feedback and help is important to understand and succeed.

This is a good way to learn new ways of learning.

I really like the processes he talked about for stepping up the levels. This is something that will push me out of my comfort zone and be challenging.

Ultimately, then, how ambivalent you end up being comes down to a judgment call based on different readers’ responses to your drafts

This point is great as it explains that you can agree yet disagree with the same subject. Which is where the agree and disagree debates can help you continue and lean more towards a certain direction.

agreeing and disagreeing simultaneously

It is ok to agree with the subject but it is also ok to disagree with certain points about it.

But do be aware that whenever you agree with one person’s view, you are likely disagreeing with someone else’s.

You must be willing to take in the people who will have a different view of the matter and see and understand their points as well as making sure you have your own points in backing up why you agree.

Even as you’re agreeing, it’s important to bring something new and fresh to the table

It is important to have other reasons to agree to a matter and also can bring in more to make your argument even stronger against others who disagree.

reluctant to express disagreement, for any number of reasons

This is the whole reason for a disagreement. As long as you show your view and have a valid reasoning and points it can also be hard to disagree with your view on it.

fails to add anything interesting or new.

No one will be able to agree with your point without adding in something they have not thought about.

disagree—and explain why

In order to disagree with anything you must come up with the why. Otherwise no one will know the reason.

they interpret a work’s meaning, thus rendering matters of agreeing or disagreeing irrelevant.

This is why we have debates in the first place. Some people may just read and take what is said but others will agree or disagree which causes more in depth views and takes.

the more it departs from the conventional ways people think

This can open up new thoughts on and views of a subject and get others to really think about it.

everyday habits of mind that can be isolated, identified, and used by almost anyone.

I feel not everyone has to be an expert on the matter to brainstorm, understand, and take key points to make light of something.

readers need to see how you interpret the quotation

If someone is reading or listening to what you have to say on the matter I feel it is important to speak your own about it along with the quote instead of just using their quote only.

blend the author’s words with your own

This helps to make it still be an accurate depiction of another's words and thoughts, but also shows your own personal take and view on it.

it is important to use language that accurately reflects the spirit of the quoted passage.

I myself tend to use basic words and this is going to help me add precision in my vocabulary.

To adequately frame a quotation, you need to insert it into what we like to call a “quotation sandwich,”

This formula for using quotations is very educational to me and will help me in the future whenever I quote someone.

Since quotations do not speak for themselves, you need to build a frame around them in which you do that speaking for them.

To me it is easy to just throw in quotes but I also understand from a reader perspective that you must also have something to to contribute and or explain the reasoning of these quotes.

writers fail to see that quoting means more than simply enclosing what “they say”

I see this as you need to make sure you give your own understanding of the subject otherwise you and the reader are both just seeing what someone else has said about it or view it.

Quoting someone else’s words gives a tremendous amount of credibility to your summary and helps ensure that it is fair and accurate.

This will come in handy for my English course as a way to make sure I have accurate information as well as source credibility.

tailor your verbs to suit the precise actions you’re describing.

I feel like when you say things like "he says" that it focuses on the person saying it rather than the point of the argument.

use signal verbs that fit the action

I can see how using the wrong verbs can take away from argument by focusing on topic.

writing a good summary means not just representing an author’s view accurately but doing so in a way that fits what you want to say, the larger point you want to make

I feel like a summary is a way of narrowing down someone else's text and thoughts into your own words but still having their points and meaning.

conversing with imaginary others who are really only the products of their own biases and preconceptions.

This is something I never thought about when summarizing. You could be thinking they think the same as you or your bias but it could really be a whole different meaning.

the writer abandons the summary after only one sentence and rushes on to their own response

I see that as not being a summary and making your own thought and beliefs about a subject.

you must be able to suspend your own beliefs for a time and put yourself in the shoes of someone else.

I feel like its good practice to hold off on your own thoughts and just read the other persons explanation and take it all in and see it that way before coming up with your own thoughts.

Many writers shy away from summarizing

Sometimes it is hard going back and having to figure out what things mean to you or trying to break down someone else's words into your own.

strategic moments throughout your text, we recommend that you include what we call “return sentences.”

This is something I have never heard or thought about before and I see it as a strategy that is very good for any debate.

open with a debate involves starting with a proposition many people agree with in order to highlight the point(s) on which they ultimately disagree:

This is a good way to at least get everyone's attention and hopefully give you time to actually get your point or vision across.

help you think analytically—to look beyond what others say explicitly and to consider their unstated assumptions

It is always good to think about every possible way to see something, and to have your own questions or thoughts on a subject.

templates for introducing “standard views”

I never really thought about how these are very common and how often you see people use these sayings to start off on a topic.

Instead of opening with someone else’s views, you could start with an illustrative quotation, a revealing fact or statistic

I feel like it is hard to argue with any fact and that is a good way of opening on a topic.

The point is to give your readers a quick preview of what is motivating your argument

It is much easier to understand a new point of view when you have a clear understanding about one thing that was said or pointed out by one and then hearing another take on it.

order in which things are said.

I completely agree with this, it can get confusing if you do not get the proper order of things and make it hard to kind of piece together or answer any questions one may have.

writers need to indicate clearly not only what their thesis is but also what larger conversation that thesis is responding to.

It can get very confusing if someone is just talking about their take on something and not give any context of specifically what or what part.

Showing up is one of the best things you can do but so is actively participating.

This is only one of many resources available to help you succeed, if you are ever struggling or need help reach out to any resource available to help you.

Using a symbol for annotations is something I never thought about and can help with remembering why you had annotated it in the first place.

Time and effort are a big thing when it comes to almost anything. Time management is going to be important to me throughout this class. This is something that will stick with me and stands out.
