Everyone loves school, so we should make it easier on the students by getting lockers so that they don’t have to carry around all their books and materials. Today almost every teacher wants their students to have a separate notebook and binder/folder for their own class. That can put a lot of weight in our backpacks.

Nathan Lewis’s eyes were permanently glued to the back of someone’s head. His unkempt amber hair hid his glaring eyes from the world. He looked down on everyone, literally and figuratively. Not only was he extremely tall but he always wore black work boots, even though there was no need for them at the diner. The women he served, the nice moms, would always lecture him on his bones. Insisting on needing more protein. Nathan would smile shyly and decline. Moving to the next table, people from…

At the end of every chapter in the novel Page After Page, by Heather Sellers, there are little exercises/practices sets up that the reader can do. These exercises are a way for the author, make the reader to interact with the book, and effectively learn how to become a better writer. The way that they are set up is short, simple and sweet; and does not require extra brainpower. For example, at the end of chapter fourteen Sellers asks the reader to just sit at the computer and write for fifteen…

is something everybody should be good at or something they should work on. When you are organized, you could find things easily and save a lot of time. I used throw everything in my backpack whenever I received a paper. I would also throw all my notebooks in my backpack. When it came to the time to look for something, it would be really hard to find and I would waste a lot of time. I think I have become more proficient in my listening skills. I tend to listen more and pay attention to every…

The learning style assessment, in my opinion was very accurate with how I feel I study. The assessment consisted of a variety of questions that range from our everyday life out of school to the way we do stuff in classes. Some of the questions asked allowed you to choose multiple answers, which I feel they should have allowed this for the entire assessment rather than just a few. Once completing the assessment, it gave you a breakdown out of all three learning styles; audio, hands on, and visual…
