I really like the different experiences that we have in Mrs. Crawford class, because those classes use to be harder than other ones for me but with her everything seems to be perfect, I do the best as I can for her just to try to do what she expect from me and for my classmates, another thing that I really like from the class is the mood that is present everybody seems to be happy with that class at the beginning of the semester I was really nervous because I was the only one from my high school that was on that class, but when I saw Christian everything changed I feel alibi, he was like me all nervous, with the time I learned that out there are many kind people who is around us. Who would never deny a little bit of help, like Maria, Diana, Christian, Angel, Ms. Crawford and Moises. I really thank those people for the help that they had offered to me since I got in here, they are one of my biggest motivation on keep me on course. This is fantastic, fabulous and wonderful.

annotated

Today in class we started doing our annotated bibliography about two articles the teacher help us to get some advice about the assignment, we work as a group she gave us a couple of examples that we can use as references in our annotated bibliography like a summary and the evaluation, we were divided into four groups two of the groups were doing the summary and the other two were doing the evaluation, we read an article and discussed about them, did examples of summary and evaluation, I did not get started in that moment because I did not have time to read it, so I just was listening to them and getting some advice of the examples so I can have an idea of how to get started. The teacher talk to us about it, gave us some feedback when we were asking her questions about the different assignments she gave us the articles that we have to be doing in order to get our credit for that class, my essay are really good because talk about how FaceBook is helpful for some of the activities, one is about retro sexual and the other one is about how updated Facebook account can make free.

Thankgiving

Thanksgiving a large word that for me has lots of meanings. Number one family we all go to my house, all my family get together to talk about our individual and different life style. Went my family gets together is a big party full of fun and food for me thanksgiving is a day in which all my family gets together and have a great time. My family lives in different places so we see each other like three times a year and one of those times is thanksgiving I think is because we all like to eat. Number two we eat a lot in the family but only because we have great cooks in it that have the skills to make like 30 plates of different food that we all enjoy eating. All my aunts know how to cook different things so one makes one style of food and others make different so you will always have something to eat no mater what. So in my house you see people in and out also stoping by to say hi and things like that. You will see people talking and having fun everywhere in the house. Young people playing all different types of games and having fun, adult talking and drinking but not getting drunk. The thing that I love about my family is that no mater what there is never a fight or someone mad we are all happy and never have problems with each other. I like thanksgiving because I get to see all my family eat a lot and hear the story's that the older family members tell us and make jokes about the past story's they've done. I love to eat and thanksgiving is the day that I can eat everything I want. The third thing I like about thanksgiving is that I do not have to go to work so is like a little vacation which I need because I get tired with all the work and school. Thanksgiving is a day to share with your family and have fun that do not involve religion or anything that is going to make some one in the family be uncomfortable or feel bad. I really like thanksgiving they because no one in my family works that they so we can get together and have a lot of fun talking one to each other telling everyone a lot of things that for me thanksgiving day.

Workshop

Today in class with a team member we talk about paper and how we have being doing it, , the teacher gave us some advice about our writing, she explained to us how it have to be, the team member gave us some advice about paper we to give and receive feedback from them we had to read our paper aloud so they can heard us and gave us an opinion about what they think about our writing. That was our credit for today so we are not able to missed, I do not really like to be talking aloud in English because I am very shy, doing that king of things I really like to be with Christian, Moises, Angel, Maria and Sergio because they can understand me better than everyone else does. Like I had said in other of my blogs I really like the English class because of the teacher and the classmates, they are very good people, the teacher is very compressive so I do not have any problem with her about my language, because I do not speak very good English and she help me with that and with my writing. I really grateful to her.

My Experience

Today in my English class we went to the writing center to work on the comparison and contrast essay, the teacher gave us like twenty minutes to get some advice and to continue working in our essay the first time that I went there I chose to use similarities, so my first paragraph was all about how MySpace and FaceBook were similar, but at the second time I change my mind and started all over again doing some things that they have different some of them were security, privacy, and the different type of users, I decide to do it this ways because those three different characteristics can be helpful for the people who do not have any clue about FaceBook and MySpace. I was so nervous because I have to started all over again, the teacher want something else than a paragraph so I stay until 11, so I can have I little be more of my job done, that they Maria and Angel stay with me because they have to be working on their research paper for student development class, at the end of the class I gave my paper to the teacher and I went to my other class, I really ,like that the teacher gave us the opportunity to be working in our paper during the class other teachers instead of that would made us work at home, they just will give us the title of the essay and the instructions that its, the different experiences that we have in the writing center are fabulous, they help us to construct our essay, to connect our ideas, put our paragraph in order and the like.I would like to be again in the computer lab with Angel, Maria and Moises, because I don’t like to be alone, so I can enjoy the moment. The experience that I have today in the writing center was fabulous, because we were preparing for our next assignment for our English class, doing some of the work that would help us to understand the differences that myspace and face book, what different application do they have like uploading pictures, make your own profile, play games etc, but I have discover also that we have to be aware of people in MySpace and FaceBook because they can be lying about they identity, name, pictures and things like that. Be aware of those can of people.

Writing Center

Today in class we went to the writhing center, so we can make today is assignment, we where writing an essay about why are we in San Antonio College, we have to compete in a essay contest, when I was writing my essay I was all upset because one of my classmates were right besides me, interrupt me telling me that my boyfriend was cheating ion me and things like that I was really frustrated because the teacher just gave us like 30 minutes to completed, I was trying to finished before the time were on but he does not let me, so I have to stay after class to finished was really easy when he was trying to finish his too, because the essay was a class assignment so if we don’t turn that in, is like an absent, because we did not get credit for that class and were like if we were not there. When I finally finish I gave it to her and went out of the writing center, out there I wait for my classmate to finish and we went to the cafeteria, that was all for today English class easy, but complicated, was just two paragraphs.
