Heyy everyone! Well school is ALMOST OUT!!! on Thursday that is our last day and I am really excited becasue i have a great and sad summer planned, with moving and everything. anyways, we had to pick two posts that we thought we did really well on and they could be from our new blog or our old blog. I decided to pick one from each blog, and here they are:

Ottawa reports three murders in less than a week. Written December 9 2005.

I chose this post because I thought I did a really good job writing this, and describing it.. I also like this post becasue in the comments box, a girl names Ashley wrote a comment, saying that Kayli Cundall (the girl that was murdered) was her cousin, i found it really sad. I also think that this was a really good post because, I had some good opinions in it, I took a lot of time to write it and I also had emotion in this post. When I got this post marked, I got 5/5 on it. I think that this was a good post.

Cloning, should we or shouldn’t we? A very good blog post, with lots of opinions, from me and other people.

This post I wrote at the end of February. I did a good job on it, and put a lot of thought into it. At first we did an essay on a certain thing, and I picked cloning. I wrote a post on it. There were people on here who put what they thought of cloning, and everything on this post was well thought out. I thought really hard about all this.

these posts, and both of my blogs show a lot of things as a writer and a learner. I learned a lot about other people and a lot of things happening all over the world by reading other peoples posts. I had the chance to comment and ask questions about peoples posts, and everything I asked, I got an answer back. This really shows a lot about me as a writer because I gave all of my opinions on something and turned them into a blog adding facts. When I wrote a piece I felt I could give examples, opinions and facts about this and this made me confident that I could write well. I really enjoyed these blogs and I feel that they made me more condfident knowing that people are gonna write me back and tell me what they think, if they aggree of disagree with me etc.

At the beginning of the year when we started blogs, I didn’t really feel like doing these, and I thought that they were just a waste of time, but I was WRONG! I have loved having these blogs and I learned a lot about writing, people, things happening with my friends, I met new people, I have learned ALOT about things going on in the world, and I learned that I can be free to write what I want, and I like how people would disagree with me, becasue it just encouraged me to write more.

 I have been a big part with the network, I think because I am constantly going onto other peoples blogs, reading them and commenting. A lot of people have came to my blog, and I am really happy about all this. With me writing on other peoples blogs, I think that they came to my blog to write on here. The whole blogging thing, has brought us closer to people in Brazil and different places out of North America. I think this because the people from Brazil are writing things about whats happening in their country, and we are reading them, and knowing whats happening there. This is why I think we are closer to them now.

With these blogs I have learned a lot from others. I learned about thats happening there in the world, and I have met new people. Some people from places such as brazil and Australia have some how gotten my e-mail, and we e- mail eachother back and forth. I have made new friends thorugh blogging. Blogging helped me with my spelling and grammar. I also have learned to type REALLY fast, becuase I have been typing a lot on here, and I also have been writng fair amounts, so it is helping me to type faster, check my spelling and not look at the keyboard when typing

I’ve contributed by going onto other peoples blogs from all over the world and commenting, and reading their stuff. Everything that I have commented on, I have thought about what I read. I don’t just wait for people to come to me and cooment, I go to blogs and comment on theirs because its only fair. 

Over the year when we started this, I have learned a lot, I have worked really hard on this blog, and I plan on keeping it if I can. I really enjoy writing in here, because I like how people can read what I have to say. It is so much different that just writing on a piece of looseleaf where only your teacher can see, or writing in a diary, where no one can read it. I love these blogs, and I am very thankful we got to experience these. 

Thanks you so much Mr. Fisher for showing us these blogs, and letting us work on them in class 

Thank you to James Farmer for letting us set these up and making a website so awesome!
