Think of a time when you or someone you know used informal language in a situation where formal language may have been more appropriate. What happened? Looking back, what could have been said differently, and what did the situation teach you about choosing your words carefully?

 One time my friend and i were talking to this older group of women asking where the bathroom was at. My friend had walked up to them and started with "Yo." The women starred at him and said "excuse me?" "Do not Yo me, I am an elder." I starred at my friend as he kept talking to her "sorry, we just wanted to know where the restrooms were at, bro." I stood there waiting for him to stop talking because I knew these women were not going to take it the nice way. They had started yelling at me and my friend fro being more respectful when it came to choices of words and who you were talking too. After that we learned to always chose your words before talking out loud.

Today, we learned how writers create a clear line of reasoning by connecting a claim, evidence, commentary, and conclusion. Which part of building an argument is most challenging for you, and why?

How has living in or around Atlanta influenced the way you see your community, culture, or identity? If you were speaking to someone unfamiliar with Atlanta, what would you want them to understand about your community?

If you've never been to Atlanta and are wanting to move there you should if you want to meet cool people and fun new places to explore. I've enjoyed Atlanta my whole life, i don't see how anyone couldn't, besides the driving here

Think about a time when you completed an assignment without fully understanding what the teacher was looking for. How might knowing the “ins and outs” of a rubric change the way you approach an assignment?

 The Ins and outs of understanding an assignment are very helpful. They have you know what you have to accomplish and finish right when it comes to certain problems that need to be solved. Without using them or not fully understanding, you can have lots of mistakes in the end and turn in something that is not right at all. This shows how doing something and not doing something about it can affect you positive or negative. Thats why you should always pay attention and learn for the future in cases just like these.
