Sketch Week 9, #1

Music plays as I sit on the couch in the TV loft. It is still light outside. I realize the seat on the stationary bike was lowered all the way. I wonder why. The couch has dents in it from people sitting on it. Outside it is definitely getting darker. There are many clouds for a night with good weather. I wonder what homework I have after this. Just a short reading. On Tuesdays I do not have world history so I don’t have much homework. I raise the seat on the stationery bike. The house next store is half red half white because it is half painted. It looks out of place. The couch is a darker color as the daylight dims. The song switches to can’t stop. Ok song.

Week 8, #1

I finish my e-mails and move onto my sketch at 7:46. I e-mailed a friend, Ben who is coming here next year. I take another bite of ice cream. A new flavor called s’mores by Ben and Jeri’s. It doesn’t test that bad. we were out of my usual flavors. I look at my widget on my dashboard. It shows rain coming. Not good for the race tomorrow. I hope we make a strategy before the race. Its been raining off and on today all day. I have a fan in my widow its so hot out; 72 degrees. Two people on sector nines soot by talking. I go to rinse my ice cream dish. My friend Ben calls to talk about the e-mail. We chat for a while about downhill bikes and linkages. It is now 8:30 on the dot and I start working on my paper.

Week 8, #2

My dad sits at his desk in his green computer chair. I am sitting in the comfy brown chair in the corner with my feet on the stool. The sound of my dad typing is louder than mine. He has a regular keyboard not a laptop one. Laptops seem to be quieter. The room it lit oddly. This room is the only room I dislike the lighting. Three desk lamps light up the room from two sides. I think it needs something else to balance it. I look into the dark piano room, then outside. Just barley I can see someone next door eating dinner, I think. Or maybe just sitting at a table. I can hear my more walk threw the house. I adjust my flip-flop sandal and IM Tom. He seemed frustrated.

Rough draft

It is important for students to have a computer as a tool to use during classes and for homework. Next year the faculty might ban computers from classes. This makes it harder for students to take notes, write papers, and conduct research. Students that do not use the computer as a tool are missing an opportunity in their education. The potential consequences for misuse or not using the computer are a drop in grades and more time required to complete assignments.

Computers act as an excellent tool for research. They allow you to browse the Internet looking for information that can be used for papers, discussions, homework and many other purposes. Taking computers away in class would eliminate the ability to conduct research during class. For example, in World History, during discussions, students can look up topics on Google for backup or find more information to add to a discussion. Some activities that take place during class would be constrained without the use of the computer as a research tool.

Students can access a whole new world when it comes to presenting their work. Computers offer programs, like Power Point, that allow students to present their work or research on a projector or on their computer screen. This is an excellent tool to have throughout your life as it provides an outstanding visual aid covering any possible topic. For example, I have made three different presentations using Power Point to my science class this year instead of reading a paper or giving a speech. All of these presentations have been well received by the class and the feedback reflected how much the visual aid was appreciated.

Using a computer make tasks, like taking notes, extremely fast because it is easier to type than to write. It is more efficient in class to take notes on a computer rather than a notebook as most classes move at a fast pace and students need to retain as much information as possible. After students are done it is extremely easy to save and organize their work into neat files. It is easier to carry an organized computer than it is to carry a separate notebook for each class.

Computers are an important part of learning, and an important tool for all students at Proctor Academy. Next year students should still be able to use their computers during class. Students need to realize that the use of a computer during class is a privilege and not a right. As with any privilege it is the individual’s responsibility not to abuse it. It is the student’s responsibility to utilize the computer as an educational tool during class rather than use the computer for activities such as surfing the web or instant messaging. If a student makes the wrong decision regarding computer use, their grades will suffer. It is the student’s fault if he or she is not working productively with a computer and not the fault of the teachers.

Very rough draft

It is important for students to have a computer as a tool to use during classes and for homework. Next year the faculty might ban computer from class. This makes it harder for students to take notes, write papers, and research subjects. If students are not using the computer as a tool it is there fault. They are the owns who will get punished in the end as their grades drop because they were instant messaging during class.

First, computers act as a tool for research. They allow you to brows the Internet looking for good information that can be used on papers, discussions, homework and many other purposes. Taking computers away in class would hinder these different subjects. For example, in Lynne’s class during discussions students will look up topics on goggle for backup or to find more information to add to the topic. Different activities in class would be held back without the use of the computer as a research tool.

Secondly, computers open up a whole new world when it comes to presenting. Computers offer programs like power point that allow students to present their work or research on a projector or just on their own computer screen. This is an exhalent tool to have throughout your life giving you an outstanding visual aid covering any possible topic. For example, I have presented 3 different slide shows using power point to my science class this year instead of reading a paper or giving a speech.

Thirdly, computers are extremely fast to type on and very easy to organize lots of work. It is a lot easier in class to be able to type notes out fast instead of having to write all the words out. Then when you are done with your work it is easy to organize it into files for every class instead of having to carry around a notebook for every class.

Computers are an important part of learning, and important tool for all students at Proctor Academy. Next year students still should be able to use their computers as a privilege like they do now. It is there job to be the ones to differentiate between working diligently in class on their computer and searching the web or instant messaging. If they make the wrong desertions there grades will suffer. It is the student own fault if he or she is not working productively, not the teachers.



Dont wory Tom this is just the rough draft.
It is pritty bad but good ideas.

Week 7, # 2

The new fan can be heard in my room as well as cars going by and my typing. The new fan is white and saws Lasko on the middle. Outside I see flashing lights so I check it out. Some farley new police car had its lights flashing behind a car. The lights art the old strobe lights but the new smaller lights. The police officer remained in car probably running the plates. The fan drowns out the car sounds and long boards sounds to whispers. My room is pretty messy. Some vitamin waters sit on my desk. And a pile of close that is clean. I have not put that away yet. A mug and a few peppers sit on my desk as well as a new oscillating fan I have yet to open. A speck of dust blown from the window flies along until it hits my screen. Another does the same thing. Weird. I tock the specks and they fly off to land on some other unique place fueled by an odd wind pattern blown from the white fan.

1st Parigraph

I think the drug policy at Proctor Academy could be changed to help the drug percentage drop and help the students make better decision. I didn’t think this was possible until I saw it happen at my last school. I also found that the students liked the policy, which surprised me even more. In most schools the student hate the policy and hate the rules regarding drugs. At my last school the average of 7-10 students would be sent home each year for drugs until the new policy was started. Now the present average there is less than one student a year.

Quote Responce may 3

“I have pointed out again and again that the religion, law, science, politics, and morals are becoming more and more theatrical, the theatre itself remains imperious to common science, religion, science, politics, and morals.” (page 5, line 28) I liked this quote because it is one of his quotes that are too the point and don’t beet around the bush. Lots of his other writing is very vague, and never really comes out and says the main idea.

Week 6, # 1

The sound of running water comes from the bathroom as someone takes a shower. Normal for this time of night; 10:07pm. My dog walks down the hall, and I feel bad for him. He had an unforgettable experience with a porcupine 3 days ago and had to have surgery to get the quills out of his muscle tissue. Now he is just hanging out half asleep on medication. My dad is in the end room watching TV and reading. My aunt from England who I don’t really think is my aunt is in the guest room. Everything is normal. Nothing different than usual. I realize all the main buildings of proctor have lights on the doors. Maxwell, Admissions, Shirley, and a few dorms I can see. Nobody can be seen on campus for the last five minutes making the campus seem deserted. All the kids should be out of study hall now. I bet a huge system link X-Box game is on just like every other night. The shower turns off and my mom walks out just as my I-Pod changes songs. 189 words. Ooo. The second floor of Maxwell just lit up without any other lights in the downstairs. Someone walks around and then all the lights go out. Everything is pitch black and nobody walks out the front or side door. Weird. Someone walks briskly out of the side door 2 minutes later. Right after that I shut the blind. A car stops by the pond by another cars taillights for 30 seconds and then drives away. It is a Volvo with a desert sand mica color and a touch of silver. The song on my I-Pod changes yet again to Can’t Stop. 292 words and it is 10:30. I am usually in bed by now giving me 8.5 hours of sleep. Just over 300 words.
