November 2012 Persuasive Writing: To begin writing persuasively we learned how to effectively argue. We discussed different cases, such as wearing armbands to school and wearing band t-shirts. I learned that to persuade someone you must give them multiple points on what your talking about. Eventually I chose my own topic in order to write a persuasive essay. My main argument was baseball is always the best during the play offs.
Blue Ribbon Ceremony: I chose someone that made a positive difference in my life. In preparation for the Blue Ribbon Ceremony. I decorated a blue ribbon, wrote a 6- word memoir about my guest, and constructed a paragraph describing why and how my quest impacted my life in a positive way. I got to present my guest with these artifacts at the Blue Ribbon Ceremony on Friday, November 16, 2012. My favorite part of this activity was listening to every one else's paragraphs.
Entrepreneurship Group Project The business I chose for this project is Ronda Clark Realitors. My group and I were able to interview Ronda on December 11. One of the most interesting things I learned from the interview was her office is almost like a house. I am looking forward to making a documentary about the business.
