List of Things to Improve in Writing

I have some things to improve in my writing:

1. TAKE CARE of run-on sentences because the majority of the times that I'm writing I get inspired and i forget to put period or semi-colons. I put commas and commas and commas and i can write one sentence with 10 independent clauses :P

2. In programs that don't have Auto-Corrects; to put capital I when i use the word I because i just type the letter and expect that it would capitalize itself alone but sometimes it doesn't. This is NOT a problem when writing in paper.

3. Watch the spelling of the word: BEGINNING (i write it "beggining" majority of the times).

4. Write in a more professional way because when i write i write the exact words that come out of my mouth and some of those may be correct when you are apeaking but NOT when you are writing.

Real Learning Journal

For me, the phrase "real learning" goes beyond personal opinion. Real learning is when a student learns so much about a topic that he can apply the material and create anything with that same material, therefore, the knowledge about is so big that the same student can teach it to another person and make them understand, although you are not a teacher.

Another thing that is really important for a person to have the best learning is to have PASION for the topic. If a person is forced to learn something or do something that he/she doesn't enjoy the information will not be stored in the brain as much as if he/she had passion or interest for the topic. Therefore, things that you want to learn get learned better than other things. Learning the topic outside of school and outside the classes helps you love it and learn even more.

On the other hand, if the topic you like is being taught in a way that you do not enjoy, you have a problem.While the teacher teaches (despite the fact that you like the topic) you get bored and don't pay attention. If the teacher is not a good person to you (or trainer in sports) you are going to loose interest in whatever it is you are doing because you hate going to class because of the ways that the teacher teachers or the teacher itself. It is better to learn the fun AND effective way (like in Ms. Shawn's class)

So... the factors to real learning are:

          - PASSION <3
          - PRACTICE :D
          - PERSONAL LEARNING (the way you want)           :)
          - ENJOY!!!!!

Transitional Words Notes

• Conjunctions 

          - although
          - even though
          - while
          - whereas
          - despite
          - in spite of...

• Although, even though, and whereas can go BEFORE EITHER CLAUSE. The emphasis is on the clause WITHOUT the conjunction.

• Despite and in spite of are PREPOSITIONS and therefore NOT followed by a subject/verb. They are followed by a NOUN, PRONOUN or ING- form.

• Adverbial Phrases

         - however
         - on the other hand
         - what's more

• Link ideas in TWO DIFFERENT SENTENCES or even in DIFFERENT paragraphs.

• Adverbial phrases go in SECOND SENTENCE, usually at the beginning.

• Adverbial phrases CAn go at the END or in the MIDDLE of a sentence but are then separated by COMMAS.

What Is An Inference?

An inference is a very simple concept. It is literally to make a intelligent guess. Because you can guess about anything very easily. But an inference is a guess that you have put logic, knowledge and back round info to it.

Star Wars Inferences

By Luke calling his guardian "uncle" i infer that he doesn't have a dad.

By a needle being shown to Leila I infer that she is going to tell the truth eventually.

By OB One Kanobi reacting to his own name (FAKING ANOTHER ONE) I knew it was him before he said.

By the ologram made by Leila, I infer thaat they were going to be in war with the others.

(I DIDN'T WATCH THE REST OF THE MOVIE BECAUSE I WAS ABSENT THE DAY WE SAW THE REST)
