Webcams
So my group and i are doing a project, we are creating a website about webcams. We choose this because webcams have gotten a lot of bad press but they can be sued for good. Our website has tabs for parents and kids and teens to show them the positives of webcams and how to use them efficiently and safely. I think this is a good idea because webcams are everywhere and if you're stupid about them it can lead to disaster. But if used correctly it can help you to stay connected with people who are far away and make your life easier.

New Ways
For my latest blog entry i read chapters 47-49 in my previously mentioned book. I love working with and reading about all different forms of media. Spoken word is for sure my favorite. I'm on the Forensics team, have been since i was 11, that's 8 years of speech competition. Lets put it this way; i'm not shy in presentations. This group project we are doing has us setting up a website. Ours is about webcams, and although i am in charge of designing it and are very good with computers and stuff like that i'm more excited for the presentation.
Honestly though, i love all different medias. The computer helps you to find all of them, you can see people in video talking, or making how to movies, or writing blogs. I love computers, that's why i'm taking a computer course, they are the present, but also the future. That is what is so amazing about them. This project is really exciting for me because we are planning to mix a lot of them. We will have writing on the website and little videos, which will all help tell our story.

Alls well that ends well
Hello cyber world, today i'm writing about chapters 28 and 29 in my English book The Norton Field Guide to writing. Chapter 28 is all about how important the beginning and endings of your papers are and i couldn't agree more. I do forensics speaking and when i'm doing something like a prose i know how important it is to begin strong and catch the audiences attention but also end strong so they are left on a high note emotionally.
Chapter 29 was all about how to guride your reader and that too is very important, when you give a speech you want to give a road map to the reader and the same goes for a paper. You can sue your title or thesis to show the reader where you are headed and it is always better to know where you're going. I also belive you have to make transitions strong because they are like little bridges between ideas.

Compare contrast repeat
Although i had already learned about the subject of tonight's reading they were very important. Being able to compare and contrast as well as dividing and classifying are very important in reading and writing. Cause and effect is also very important, you can than determine if someone is making a bad judgment call or too much of a stretch. Also writing about somethings cause or it;'s effect can really help the reader. I think when you are writing these are all things you have to keep in mind so that your writing is focused and easy to follow for the reader. Which is very important because if the reader can't follow what your saying you message does not get across. And of course you must always keep your purpose in focus because it will help you to sue all these devices.
