Michelle,
After reading your blog posts, I do believe you have the tools to write a pretty good essay. You talk about points made in texts read, make connections to your life or the world in general and discuss how points you've talked about can grow. In order to write essays, we need to know about the topic we are writing about as deeply as we possibly can.
So after you read a text, the thinking doesn't stop along with your reading. That's what I've learned in this unit about reading in general (with some help in English class too). It's pretty cool how we read something, then put our ideas on paper, if we do well at it, our ideas end up twice as long as the text itself.
Matthew,
Your ideas consist of topics I too think about during the current unit. Along with this article, we are discovering how digital technology's reign of dominance (if you will) is approaching. For a huge topic such as this in our class unit, we have to be really creative writers and really extend ideas we originally got from read articles, discussions, etc.
Your ideas about these things in your posts are really great. You pull out a small idea and by yourself, you expand it into a more bigger and more thinkable topic. When it comes to writing an essay or doing an art project, I think you do have the skills to be able to do well on these general assignments. Good Job and keep it up.
