Psh, Monday. Get outta my face. 8D
I got home in the late morning yesterday so I skipped studying. I plan to write my paper today. I got the discussions working too. I feel accomplished. When I studied on Saturday I learned a lot about spelling development! I learned a lot more than I thought I would, so it pleases me. I accomplished my goals for learning about spelling development. I wrote this paragraph three times because I wanted more active paragraphs. HAH. Sometimes, I don’t realize that I write in the passive tone. It makes my mind reel when I read over it though. I think, “How can I make this better?” I feel good about that!
The assignment calls for a hypothetical situation that causes disruption in the classroom. I often feel like that most of these texts are made for teachers already struggling with management rather than new teachers. The assignments also lend more towards how to fix teacher attitudes to assisting students by removing negativity. Again, for experienced teachers rather than new. Sometimes, I feel frustrated by it because I have no idea how I am supposed to “come up with something” when I am unsure of what really goes on in classrooms these days. Still, I understand the theory so it’s no difficult to implement. I just feel like I am off base about it.
I want to write with a more active tone. One problem I find is that academic work is set in a passive tone. I notice that I combine the two when I do my own academic writing, however, I am not sure it’s the right (hah, wrote write the first time) thing to do. It doesn’t help that I’m also trying to cut out adverbs that end in -ly. I know they have their place but I avoid using them. Although, I think that using actively and passively are more direct than “with an active tone.” Right now, I can’t think of a way to be more direct without using -ly words. They don’t bother me, I just feel like I can describe things better. At least, it I feel like it forces me to.
I completed my paper and read through it twice for typos. My last two projects had several typos. In my rush to finish them last week, I was careless and ended up having a lot more typos than I should have. I examined this week’s paper more closely just to be sure.
I looked forward to being done with my paper. Then I remembered I still have to study.
