Multi-genre Project Response: Crumbled Creativity

    While looking at the examples that you provided of Multi-genre projects I found one labeled "Crumbed Creativity." Crumbled Creativity's whole message throughout the whole thing was how standard and simple students are forced to be in high school classrooms. Crumbled Creativity showed many examples through the whole thing of how teachers not only encourage but force kids to not be opinionated. I seemed to really connect with this post because it is something that I see in classrooms today. I do not think that it's fair for teachers to have the ability to tell students how to express their opinion, or when their opinion is to much. Is it really an opinion when teachers censor what you say?

Millennium goals: Ensuring enviormental sustainiblitly

    While reading goal number seven I became very interested in the things that they talked about. Pollution has always been a huge problem in the world. It has became an even bigger problem in todays society. Goal number seven stated that an estimated 863 million people reside in slums in the world today. Although financially family's may or may not be able to afford a nice place to live or choose the neighborhood they live in, they should be able to be guaranteed a safe and healthy environment. From 2010 to 2015 slum dwellers received improved water, sanitation and less crowded homes.  I think that this connects with Springfield and many other cities because pollution isn't really something that is only in one place, but it is in many. Things such as reducing littering, recycling, and saving energy are simple things that each and every person can do to help out.

    

Start something that matters. Reading response 2

    One of my passions that I have figured out in the last two years is to become a registered nurse and to eventually be a missionary in developing countries that need things more than we do. After reading numerous articles on the website that was given to us, I found a couple of them that I could really connect to my passion.
    The first one I read was called Good Travel by a girl named Caitie. Her video had four or five people in it explaining why they enjoyed travel and how many people take traveling for granted. While reading and watching the video, I connected to it on many levels. One of the people in the video says "Don't underestimate the difference you can make when traveling." This really seemed to connect to my passion. I am wanting to go to college to become a nurse and minor in intercultural studies. I want to do all this in hopes to be a missionary some day wherever God wants me to be. I find it pretty cool that they talk about remembering that you can make a big difference wherever you may be.This reading really caught my attention simply for the fact that they had good insight on the topic.
    The second one I read about was called Hungry planet farms by Brittany Ferguson.  She talked about the idea of having a large scale vertical farming company that would provide developing countries with small scale farming equipment to help with their immediate needs with disasters, malnutrition, and hunger. I thought this idea was clever and unique because it gives countries the equipment they need to have for food to be available at any time. This would help keep developing countries from losing many lives every year. I think about how hard it would be to be a nurse in different countries helping people while they are so sick. This story grabbed my attention because I think that doing this would be a really good idea and that they really thought out of the box with it.
    The third one that I read was called Half 4 the hungry by Leigh Carman. Her idea was to help feed starved children domestically while helping Americans eat less. They would do this by going in to restaurants that clearly advertise "Hungry planet farms" and order a meal. They pay full price but only receive a half portion of the meal. A minimum of four dollars is donated by to restaurant to a charity that is feeding children all around the world domestically.This idea was clever because it was helping two problems simply by doing one thing.I am also connected to this one because this one would help many of the cases any nurse would see on the field doing missions work. 
     

   

Article 1 response

    In the article 7 grammar rules you should really pay attention to, author Ben Yagoda covers common mistakes that people make in regards to grammar. These include subjunctives, parallelisms, verb problems, meaning of words, 'dangling' conversations,  and semicolon problems.

    While reading this article I found myself able to read it pretty smoothly, but a couple examples caught my attention.
* I'm tired, so I need to go lay lie down.
This example helped me realize that I tend to use the wrong subject verb agreement quite a bit. To help prevent myself from doing this less often, I think it would be good to read over my sentences in instances when I am confused.
    A lot of the examples in the article seem like little things that I should already know, but when I started reading over all of them I realized that I never check to make sure if I have used them correctly.
The picture below describes my face when I read the examples in the article. I was shocked to see some of the things that I have been doing wrong when writing. Like using lie when I'm  suppose  to use lay!
