Part 1:
In our class today we didn't end up doing a "mid-term." Instead, we did a 'quick write' where we were given a sentence, and then we had to build from it for an allotted amount of time. Once our time was up, we passed our papers to the right, and continued the other persons paper for the next time frame. We kept rotating our papers until we got our own back, and then we had to explain whether it stayed on topic and maintained a specific focus. The portion that is italicized is my portion of the writing, and the rest was done by the rest of our class.
It is raining. Fortunately I will be in Miami in a couple weeks for spring break and will be enjoying the heat! Last time I got to enjoy the warm weather was far too long ago, so the excitement of being in beach weather has been progressively building since I booked the trip. The original plan was to go to Vegas with a large group of friends, and the day before we planned on booking the trip we all had a change of heart. Rather than blowing all of our money at the casinos, we’ll be spending it on cold drinks and fake cuban cigars. We will be able to sit on the beach and soak up the sun. Not many people get to do this, this time of year. Especially cause its spring break there may be more students my age that may be thinking the same thing as me. But at the same time it could be nice to have people there the same age as me doing the exact same thing. We will have something in common and be able to have twice as much fun getting to meet people from different schools around the country. However just the thought of being on a beach where the weather is warm and away from cold and snowy Pullman is all that matters. For a week no thought will go into how many layers to wear and whether or not to wear snow boats or regular shoes. The only things on my mind will be the nice weather and the thought of drinking some ice cold beers at the beach as I forget about everything else.
This paper definitely seemed to stay on topic. It also seemed to flow quite nicely after a quick read through. For the proof reading there is just a few things. One example is the word cause being used instead of because.
Part 2:
My group has decided to do the educational tri-fold. We are just waiting to receive the tri-fold that has already been made so we can discuss what needs to be fixed and what is already working well. Since it is an educational tri-fold, the basic information that will be included is 2nd Chance Animal's mission statement, a few interesting facts to hold the readers interest, and then a section on what they can do to help (i.e. volunteer work, donations, etc.) Until we receive the already completed tri-fold, we won't really be able to split up what portions we will be individually working on because we don't know what needs to be fixed yet. Hopefully we'll have it by Monday!
