RESPONSE TO ARTICLE

  In the article “Rescuing Animals -With Your Phone” by Zack Jones, it talked about a new way to help save animals. All you have to do is, download an app on your phone. I think its great that we have found a new and fast way, to help animals, but I also think its sad because we have to use technology. There is a good side to this and a bad one.

  I think that this new way to help animals through an app, is cool. I think its great because, many people these days “cant live” without their phones. And if they have a way to help animals through their phone, then I think more people will become involved in the animal society. Its also great because as it says in the article “The animal might be dangerous to you, and you could cause injury without meaning to.”Because of these ideas I think the AnimalHelpNow App is fantastic.

  In addition I also think that this app may not be so great. I say this because this app is just showing how far people have to go, (creating an app) in order to motivate others to try and help the animal society. Its sad because if this new app hadnt been created then everybody would’ve stayed the same. Or in other words caring very little about the animals. I think that if people want to really help animals then they should do it for real, and not with an app.

  In all, the AnimalHelpNow app can work. Even though, it means having to use technology to help animals. Its great because: "The app is designed to work even when you don't have cell or Internet access." If this is what it takes to get people, to take action, Fine. Now will this app get you to help animals or will you just help once and then go back to your same routine?

plagiarism

    In this students blog post, what he/she did wrong was that they plagiarized. They

simply copied and pasted off of a website. Instead of plagiarizing, the student could have

 properly cited this website, or they could have paraphrased. If they wanted to cite this

 website, they could’ve quoted the words. So for example “there is the night filled with

swirling clouds.”(Vincent van Gogh: starry night.)

     There are many ways to avoid plagiarism. One way is to cite your sources. Include

where you got your information on. Don’t just copy and paste. Another way to avoid

plagiarism is to paraphrase. Reword the sentence(s) that you want to include in your

paragraph. Or don’t just copy and paste. If you don’t like jail don’t plagiarize ….. Thank

you have a wonderful life J

FAVORITE BLOG POSTS

      MY TWO FAVORITE BLOG POSTS WERE GUADALUPE’S AND SOFIA’S. I LIKED GUADALUPE’S BECAUSE IT HAD A LOT OF THIOUGHT TO IT. I THINK THAT IT SHOWED THAT SHE WAS THOUGHTFUL OF THE THINGS THAT SHE PUT IN THE POST, BECAUSE IT GOT STRAIGHT TO THE POINT. I LIKED HOW IT DIDN’T CONFUSE YOU BY GIVING YOU SO MUCH DETAIL AND MAKING IT ALL INTO ONE PARAGRAPH. IN SOFIA’S BLOG I REALLY LIKED HOW HER BLOG WAS LONG, BUT NOT FULL OF OTHER RANDOM DETAILS THAT SHE COULD PUT INTO IT. THE POST WAS ACTUALLY FULL OF INFORMATION. I LEARNED A LOT IN THE POST. FOR AN EXAMPLE OF THIS IS WHAT I LEARNED ON PICASSO’S LIFE AS AN ARTIST. IT WAS VERY INFORMATIONAL. AND FULL OF DETAIL .
     THE TWO THINGS THAT I REALLY LIKED ABOUT GUADALUPE’S BLOG, WAS HOW THE LENGTH OF IT WASN’T TOO LONG, OR TOO SHORT. IT GOT STRAIGHT TO THE POINT AND EXPLAINED THOUROGHLY WHAT SHE WANTED TO GET THROUGH TO THE AUDIENCE. ANOTHER THING THAT I LIKED ABOUT GUADALUPE’S POST WAS THE DETAIL THAT SHE GAVE IN HER POST. SHE DIDN’T GIVE TONS AND TONS OF DEATIL, SO AS TO JUMBLE UP (CONFUSE) HER READERS. SHE GAVE JUST THE RIGHT AMOUNT OF INFORMATION TO KEEP THE READER ENGAGAGED AND NOT BORED. WHAT I LIKED ABOUT SOFIA’S POST, WAS THAT SHE GAVE AN EXPLATION ON THE PERSON SHE WAS WRITING ABOUT, WHICH HAPPENED TO BE PICASSO. SHE GAVE ENOUGH INFORMATION ABOUT THIS PERSON SO THAT YOU KNEW WHAT SHE WAS TRYING TO EXPLAIN TO YOU. I ALSO LIKED HOW SOFIA INCORPARATED FACTUAL INFORMATION. YOU COULD TELL THAT THEY WERE FACTS AND NOT JUST HER OWN KNOWLEDGE. THIS IS WHY THESE WERE MY FAVORITE BLOG POSTS.
    NOW AFTER READING THESE TWO BLOGS, I WILL TRY TO IMPROVE ON THE LENGTH OF MY BLOG POSTS. AND ALSO ON ALL THE DETAILS I GIVE AND IF I GIVE ANY DETAILS AT ALL.  I ALSO NOW KNOW THAT I SHOULD GIVE FACTUAL INFORMATION AND NOT JUST THE INFORMAION I KNOW, BECAUSE IT MIGHT NOT EVEN BE RIGHT. THIS IS WHAT I WILL DO NOW TO TRY AND IMPROVE MY BLOG POSTS THIS YEAR.
