Think about a time when you exaggerated something to make a point, tell a story, or get someone's attention. What happened? What did you say? Why did you exaggerate? Looking back, do you think your exaggeration made your message more effective? Explain.

 One time my friend and I were waiting in line at an amusement park. We were close to the front of my line and my friend was starting to get scared because of the ride we were waiting for. It was a water ride, he said that he didn't want to do it because he wasn't trying to get wet and it was very tall and scary. I told him that it would be fun especially since it was hot that day, and we were both sweating and tired, I asked him if he would rather walk around in sweaty cloths all day and smell gross, or to go on one water ride. We ended up going on it and he had so much fun that we went on it three times.

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.
