English

So for english yesterday, i learned about text structures and bias. We took a quiz on the 5 different structures, and Ms. Takara gave us a quiz to work on. We have to write 9 paragraphs to prove our thesis statement. I think that the difference between cause & effect and problem & solution is pretty confusing.

In class today I  did worksheets that had me read an article find words i didnt know and i had to look them up on the dictionary. This was pretty straight  forward  so  i had an easy time.

Today, we did research on our thesis statement. Mine was about child abuse. My topic was inspired after I read a very touching book called "A Child Called It" written by David Pelzer. I think that child abuse should be stopped, and I'm trying to find some solutions while doing our research project.

We worked on our projects almost the whole period, but we didn't have the computers this time.I didn't really do much because I decided to research at home about child abuse.I also learned how to verify if a site is legitimate.
