Process Paragraph Draft

      Studying for an exam can be very important. There are 3 good techniques you need to do or use when studying for your next big test or exam. The first thing you should do is read over the chapters or assignments and take notes. Taking notes will help you remember certain phrases or other relevant information related to the test. It also will help because the more you look over your work or notes the higher chance you have on getting a good grade. Another technique to do after the first, is to remember or write down in your notes key words or vocabulary you don't understand, so after that you can figure out the definitions to them all. The last technique you need to do when studying for an exam is to create flashcards for either vocabulary, words you don't know, or even key words that trigger your memory on certain information. Exams are relevant to pass, so with these techniques you are sure to get a nice grade in the end.

In-Class Writing Sept 24

To flirt you definitely need the right tactics to start off. First you need to start a nice conversation. Make sure it's about her! You never want to keep all the conversation about you because she will lose interest. It's simply the more you talk about her, the more engaged into the conversation she is. Second, you always want to be looking at her eyes to know that your focused on her. Don't be too much of a creeper, but just to let her know that you are listening. I've learned that listening to what a girl has to say is the best thing to do to keep her attention. The third thing you have to do is make sure your around them. Not following her everywhere, but enough to let her know that you like to be around her. Doing all of these things should hopefully by the end of the day make her smile and if she smiles, your flirting process has succeeded.

Group Pressure

1.  I think I would have stuck with my answers just because other people don't really affect my decisions or answers. I also think that I would have got along with the group well enough, but maybe not too much.

2. They might have accepted the wrong answers because of the strangers. Also they just gave in and accepted the wrong instead of right. It's hard not to except the wrong answers. They just wanted to get it over with.

3. A strong group situation might be a more serious case. Like in a court case where the decision is more relevant it would be a strong situation.

4.Yes because I knew my answer was right! Almost like standing up for you know what's right. It was a math problem and they were explaining how to finish it incorrectly. I finally got my point across and proved my point and correct answer.

Quiz Sept 24

There are many steps to making a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. First you need to get two pieces of bread and get out the jelly and peanut butter. After that spread the jelly on one slice, and the peanut butter on the other slice. Make sure that there is an even amount of jelly as there is peanut butter because if you have to much it will ooze out of the sides. After you fixed up the amount of them both, just put the slices together and your sandwich is complete.

My sister Jen is a very busy person. She works for a red light company and does all of the paperwork. Half of the time she is never home! Always taking flights to other cities to talk business and sign papers. Over 50% of her job is done in different states. When she is at home she also receives emails and has to work on some projects at home. The company sends her copies of paperwork to look over as well. She also gets long distance phone calls to meet the clients she is meeting with in the other cities or states. All call are very important and you can tell because she leaves the room. My sister needs to slow down and have a break, but we know one thing, she sure isn't lazy.

Is the United States a health-conscious nation?

The United States is definitely not a health-conscious nation. All of the fast food restaurants that are around every city and all the ice cream shops downtown are really not good for you. The government is all about making money. With the low economy, money became relevant towards the government because of the economic downfall. The United States gives everybody a choice to what they eat, so what it comes down to is what the person is like or what they would like to eat when hungry. Knowing that, the United States has many different individuals with a variety of personalities, which means the people's health of the U.S. is a dice roll. Almost anything and anyone can become obese from eating to much. Parents letting the kids eat what they want can turn out to be a "big" problem.

In Class Writing 9/10

     When it comes to studying for an exam there are three main strategies you should use. First you need to work enough time in to your week before the exam to study. Time management is very relevant when it comes to studying because the more time you have the better quality you receive. The second strategy is to review. Either use flashcards for memory or just overall look over what you need to. Reviewing helps a lot because it helps you remember certain points or sentences. The last strategy you should use is picking out key words or phrases. Doing this will refresh your memory and trigger your mind to remember certain things. All three of these strategies will definitely work when your studying for an exam or even any test.

Changes:
- changed "3" to "three"
-added more transition words to sound smoother when reading
-switched my ending for a better closing statement
