Post Secret Notecard

My audience for the notecard is directed towards girls and teenage girls. My notecard has a princess with a crown on her head. This design features a princess with a sparkley butterfly crown on. I used pink, purple, blue and yellow colors to creat a notecard with a pretty, princess feel to it. My secret changed the design to be directed to girls who wish princess fairytales could come true and happen to them in real life.

Peer Review Paper 3

All of the peer review techniques have been helpful but the most helpful one is when we are working one on one with another student reading their essay and writing how they can make different paragraphs work better, how they can add more and make their paper better. This is helpful because after we read and add comments and suggestions to their paper both the you and the partner talk about eachothers papers and hear opimions and comments about how you can make your paper better. I like this because you recieve an outside opinion other than your own during your draft so you can go back and add, edit and revise your paper to make it better. This is also helpful because your partner is a peer and a classmate they can relate to you as a writer more because we are all closely related in how we think and write and can learn about their writing techniques and styles to add to make our paper better.

Deana and Her Dream

It was the first day of softball season and little Deana was ecstatic for her first practice. This was her third season playing. She had been practicing all through fall and winter. Deana wanted to make the travel teams and be one of the top players on her team. Deana wasn’t the best and had to work hard for her spot on each travel trip. She should dedication and focus during practices and their home games. Even though Deana was working hard she wasn’t playing well and missed the spots on the first two travel games.  Deana was becoming frustrated and would practice her drills and technique outside of practice and on the weekends. She started playing well and was proving to her coach the determination she had to make the last and final travel team. This was also an important game that would either bring them to States or end their season. The list was posted and Deana came to practice and hurried to the bulletin wall. She looked down the list and saw her name in the number four spot. She was so excited she could not stop smiling. When they left and arrived to the game Deana was in the zone and ready to win. Deana and her team played an amazing game with struggle and triumph. The final score was six – five. They had won and made it to the States!

Teacher Review Paper 2

Thank you for the feedback. When I go back a work on my paper again I am going to add more about what woodstock was and what took place, I will add about what kind of music was played and how people responded to Woodstock. To add more to my analysis I will add more about how the movie and the picture differ in what happened and what was portrayed that happened in the movie.
