Essay response on article :)

"Rescuing Animals—With Your Phone" by Zack Jones ( April 5th 2012) 

       In the article " Rescuing Animals-- With Your Phone" by Zack Jones shows how important it can be to save an injured animal. The article talks about how there is this app on your phone called   AnimalHelpNow   , it provides situations and things you might do to help that animal. I think that this article shows that even when your on the road you should still stop and help a wounded animal . That is why i think that this article is great and important for the environment and population of animals. 

         For example in the article it shows how the app asks you questions about the animal that is hurt, and it also provides solutions and places that might help. This app is important and interesting because based on the day , type of day and time and situation it can give you solutions for the problem and help save animals. This app will save alot of animals that are injured and need help quickly . Also it mentions how you wont need internet connections so it can work on any phone, which proves that it is important enough to work anywhere and anytime.   

         Another example, in the article it shows how the app can help by providing locations of vets and wild care centers.The app will basically help provide help so the animal is safe and helped as soon as possible. The app also provides a GPS so that they can find the location of the animal. I can see that this app really shows and cares for the wounded animals because it provides questions , locations , and help so the animal will not die. I find this important for the population of the animals so that it will not decrease.
 

         All in all , i think that the article on the app you can help wounded animals is helping and is important to the population of animals and also so the animals wont die. This aritcle is important to the world and enviorment also saving animals all over the world.

Plagarism is a CRIME !!!

What did the student do wrong? What could he/she have done to include the source correctly?
~ The student plagiarized someone else's work. They copied and pasted from a source and then did not include the source. He/she could have made that a quote then included the article and name of author in the response. Or he/she could have tooken the sentence and out it in their own words.


Write a sentence using the original source correctly; use a quotation or paraphrase. Also, make sure to cite correctly. Consult my post on citing sources.
~ " There is a peaceful essence flowing from the structures. Perhaps the cool dark colors and the fiery windows spark memories of our own warm childhood years filled with imagination of what exists in the night and dark starry skies. The center point of the town is the tall steeple of the church, reigning largely over the smaller buildings. This steeple casts down a sense of stability onto the town, and also creates a sense of size and seclusion " ( A Brief Understanding of the Starry Night Paintings, unknown author ).





What are at least 3 ways to avoid plagiarizing?
~ to avoid plagiarizing you can :
1. Make sure cite all sources that you took information from
2. take the words and paraphrase them before using the informations and don't forget to site the source when done.
3. Go on a plagiarizing site and put in your response , to see if you plagarized. Then put the words in your own words.

Don't forget plagiarizing is a crime !!!!

My 2 Favorite Blogs

Hello there, Ms.Galang told us to read some blogs on the list.So that's what I did. 2 of my favorite blogs that I read we're : Izzys from class 813 and Eliza's from class 813 . They both talked about things comparing two people.

First I liked Izzys response to Romeo and juliet . She wrote about her opinions for their love. She thought that thief love was fake and had no purpose for it. I liked how izzy wrote about 1 person In one paragraph and the other person in the other paragraph. She separated her characters and talked about each one . I also liked how she included qoutes from the book and the page numbers next to the line. That shows that she used evidence to prove her opinion which is good. Izzys response overall was amazing because of her structure and the writing itself.

The second blog that I picked to write about was Eliza's about the book Harry Potter. In her response she was comparing 2 people. she compared Harry and Ron and seeing whose life is worse. First I liked how she wrote 3 paragraphs and each paragraph was about a different thing.like families, money etc. Then I liked how she at the end of her response she was questioning the reader about who's life is worse and was asking you to comment below. She had a nice overall response with a good conclusion that made the reader think a little. It was also cool how she tallied it up and said it came to a tie. I thought that was funny. That was an amazing response.

While reading those two blog entry's I was thinking of how to make mine better and I thought of a couple of ways to do that . First of, I can make them longer and elaborate. I could make my thoughts deeper and use textual evidence to prove my opinion. I could also make different types of reading responses . I noticed I have been using the same structure and format. Maybe I could write in a letter or compare 2 different things , or maybe write an essay on a book , or so a series of responses of like the Harry potter series. I could also talk to my reader and ask them questions. Maybe that would make my blog entry's better :)
