This is the difference when you get out of high school and finally make it to the " real adult world:.

With the right resources, traits, and skills that can really determine if someone floats or sinks.

This is important and I stand behind it from personal experience.

PG. 6 Quote Sandwich

This is something I am still working on getting done right.

PG. 5 Introduction (can sometimes be written last

This could be something I could try during this essay.

PG 3. Practice academic research skills

To me it is important to do research on the career you are thinking about going into to see all aspects and questions that comes in that career.

With the way AI is going I feel like this is a very realistic could be problem when deciding a career today.

I like this description and it paints a vivid picture in my mind that will help me see my essay more clearly.

I think I will try this on my next essay to be a clear marker for me.

This class has already made me try harder than any I had in high school, I would never revise my work just do one and done and I feel like the essay I have written for my current class is already miles better after having to take more time and use criticism given to me.

This is honestly one of the hardest parts for me.

Even if it is hardly ever you still want to sound proper and professional.

To me and from my past I know that this is true and that is why I am coming to this class to make sure that my essays are actually thought out and written to the best of my ability.

I personally enjoy the peer feedback and feel it helps my writing.

This is why you must stay flexible.

This is a new style for me but it is something I would like to take with me.

This may help me when trying to think about a personal experience.

This was interesting to me and made me think about how a line goes from start to finish and shows a path.

This is a big learning curve for me as I do my first college English class.

This will be a good rule of thump for me in my upcoming essay.

This is important as it makes you think of multiple ways to write an essay but needs to be narrowed down to the correct one.

This is a common style I would use in the past and I still use it.

I think this style can come in handy depending on the type or essay you need to write.

After doing a mind map, I like them as it helps me see my main points and then makes it easier for me to fill in my essay.

I feel like this is very important to make sure you use the correct style of writing.

Changes happen everyday and with every new invention or science break through always making room for new arguments and new facts.

PG 231. a self-driving-car fatality

PG 230. when those laws should exist or how to apply them

Another interesting topic to think about but one that also makes you think about.

PG 229. lack creative problem solving

I feel like this is true and would like to see an argument otherwise.

PG 229. we live in special times

The current world is constantly evolving and having new research brought to the table.

PG 228. thing can be done does not mean it will be done.

This would be a good topic to debate over and would have a lot of interesting views.

PG 227. Where Machines Could Replace Humans

This is a topic I think about a lot and I feel like this would be an interesting read for me.

PG 227. stems from existing workers, not automation

This is an example of humans not being replaced by automation.

PG 226. proclaimed the demise of work.

This is research proof of a matter.

PG 226. every industry over time

This is something I have seen a lot.

PG 225. creating new jobs.

I feel like this is very controversial and so far I see it as both ways.

PG 225. take over most jobs in the next fifty years

This to me is an interesting topic with how the world is today.

PG 220. unremarkably simple

Simple is usually easy for everyone and sometimes simple is better.

PG 220. stating his central question

This makes it easy to follow the point and know what you are going to read.

PG 219. stay focused throughout the entire length of your paper.

This is sometimes hard for me as I get easily distracted.

PG 219. Templates

These are good templates that I will try to use in the future.

PG 218. treats as factual what another source treats as questionable

Another example of why you should always read more than just one article.

PG 218. Fact-Checker

This is something new I just learned about how to check credibility.

PG 217. reading laterally

This will be a good practice for myself when I got write my next paper and use articles for my research.

PG 217. isn’t reliable.

It is always good to make sure you do further research into where you are receiving the information to make sure its true and the facts are correct.

PG 216. Cited by” link itself,

This is usually a quick way for you to already have and add your works cited to your own paper.

PG 216. Librarians are usually more than happy to help

This could also be another resource to help you with your school work.

PG 215. which cites several reports

This is a good example and site to see for yourself.

PG 214. academic writing differ from one discipline to another

Sometimes its about the information not how it was formatted.

PG 213. you try to understand what they are saying on their own terms before rushing to judgment.

This is important in making sure you have information and some that is usually factually supported but just a different stand than your own.

PG 213. variety of perspectives

There can be more than just 1 or 2 views on a matter.

PG 212. learn from different perspectives.

This is why I personally feel that reading multiple articles and also keeping an open mind to other view points and feelings on a matter is important.

PG 212. citation chaining

This is an easy and quick way of finding the information of related topics.

PG 211. credit the source

It is important to credit the source whenever using information from someone else's article.

PG 211. Sources frequently respond to other sources

This is something I have not thought about before and now I see how reading multiple articles can be beneficial to get multiple views on the subject.

PG 210. invest in the conversation

This helps to have a reader be interested in the topic and see their views while having their own views.

PG 210. controversial question

This is a good example of giving writing direction.

PG 209. tend to lack direction

From my experience some topics have multiple articles but it is still hard to find one that has direction.

PG 209. Robotics is a very interesting topic

I feel like this will have a lot of value as a subject for a long time to come.

PG 208. may not even mention one another

The examples are a good way to make sure you do a "proper" setup of a question.

PG 208. question identifies a controversy

After starting my english class I found a lot of good information about how this can be a good way of writing an essay and can lead to much deeper thoughts and questions.

PG 207. A good research question

This is a challenging thing trying to find one main question or point out of a plethora of information but it will help narrow down and film out the parts that do not matter.

PG 207. sheer volume of sources

This is a hard part of finding the right article to choose to base your essay off of and gather information.

PG 206. College-level research,

I have noticed a large difference in the style of writing from high school to college.

PG 206. asked to write research essays

This was very common during my time in highschool.

PG 205. other instructors will

My instructor makes clear what he wants us to write and how to write it.

PG 80. doing all this and he would’ve quit right there and then.

This is really in depth and shows the emotion and trauma of how the writer felt.

PG 80. colorful words with the truck driver

The whole paragraph was full of context that described the area, feel, and situation making you feel like you were there.

PG 80. I was in for a rough ride.

This explains a situation that sets up a tense moment and will have readers wondering what comes next.

PG 78. Don’t assume that the only way to tell your story is just as it happened.

I feel like this could add elements like tension adding up to something.

PG 78. focus on a single event

This is important to stay on topic and keep your essay revolving around the main topic.

PG 77. incident matters

You want to make sure you add valuable information that has a point and adds value to your writing.

PG 77. Most narratives set up a situation that needs to be resolved

This is a great example of good writing to captivate a reader.

PG 6. Final Portfolio Grading Rubric based on Quality of Revisions:

This will make your writing authentic to you as a person.

PG 2. Brainstorm a significant story that makes a point about some especially memorable part of your literary past, whether inside or outside of school.

This will take a lot of effort and challenge me as I have a hard time of thinking about past experiences to use as examples especially for writing.

PG 2. brainstorming with Mindmaps, to writing partial rough drafts

Starting with a mind map to use for reference has been a nice thing to learn so far.

PG 2. establish an academic voice in a low-stakes essay.

Its nice to be able to write an essay that does not have to be perfect but still allows you to use everthing you have learned thus far to continue growing and have the time to revise it.

PG 1. Quote Sandwich method from Chapter 3 of They Say/I Say.

This will be good practice for future assignments.

PG 1. why A.I. can never replace your voice.

This will be a vey interesting read and write. It goes well with how things are in todays world.

For some people watching a video can be easier to understand than just reading a text.

These are extremely useful as a new skill in helping you break down points.

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.

This will help you with somewhat already knowing what to expect during your reading.

This will help answer any further questions that may not have been explained or help you understand better.

This is one active reading strategy I use a lot when looking for main points and quick descriptions.

This is important to me because it will help me to make sure I take in everything I can after reading a passage.

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.

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.
