Reflecting on Today's Experience Sept. 16
In Mrs. Crawford’s English Class today we had read the Email Etiquette Assignment paper by doing what is called popcorn reading. What we learned by reading the Email Etiquette Assignment is that the email has to be in MLA formatting . Which in this case means double spacing, white paper, black ink, and Times New Roman and size font of twelve. What I believe that will be hard about this assignment is that when we type up the paper on our computers we are not allowed to use certain words. Some of the words that are not supposed to be typed in this paper are you and your. Usually when I write essay papers I am used to saying what I am going to be writing about in the assignment, but Mrs. Crawford is not allowing us to use the starting of sentences like This email is about, I will tell you, and I believe. One reason of what I think will be an easy task about writing this paper is my English Teacher Mrs. Crawford is not making the amount of the essay to be really long. The essay paper only has to be 2-3 paragraphs with six sentences in each paragraph. Pretty easy. I think writing this assignment will be helpful. One reason I think that this assignment would be helpful is that I know that some time in my four years of college, what ever college I am at I will need to politely write an email or type a paper to a professor or mine asking about or asking to change a specific grade of mine on either a test, quiz, homework, or regular in class assignment. So in the end of writing this paper it will be good practice for me!

Katy,I think you wrote this blog really good because you wrote as if you were writing an essay and turning it in.We almost wrote the same thing for this blog.We both wrote about the popcorn reading and not being able to use you or your which is hard.We also both wrote that we think this assignment will be helpful because we will probably have to write a real e-mail to a proffesor later on.Great minds think alike!I agree that the only easy part about that assignment was the length.It is interesting how you say "Mrs.Crawford's class" instead of saying your class because she is reading these blogs.Anyway good job on this blog!
