DON"T PLAGERIZE

            Question 1: The student added in the information with no way to tell if it was there's or not. To include the source they should said where they got the information from followed by underlining or putting the title in quotations (depending) with the author out of the quotations after. They then should put the piece of information in quotations and if possible shown which page(s).
            Question 2: From http://www.vangoghgallery.com/painting/starryindex.html , " A brief Understanding of the Starry Night Paintings"
'Below the rolling hills of the horizon lies a small town. There is a peaceful essence flowing from the structures. Perhaps the cool dark colors and the fiery windows spark memories of our own warm childhood years filled with imagination of what exists in the night and dark starry skies. The center point of the town is the tall steeple of the church, reigning largely over the smaller buildings. This steeple casts down a sense of stability onto the town, and also creates a sense of size and seclusion. '
               Question 3: -rewording
                                      -cite your sources
                                      -think before you do and know there will be consequences

2 Favorite Blogs

            My two favorite blogs were written by Sofia and Gabby. I liked Sofia's blog post "Picasso's La Vie"  because she talks about his life and the struggles he went through and how he expressed it in his artwork. She also gives her own opinion about his piece and tells what she thinks it represents. She gave you her thoughts about all of its features. I liked Gabby's blog post "Much Ado About Nothing, but still about something". I liked it because she gave her opinions and review of it and also explained why she thought these things.


            I learned from these pieces that I can still keep my kind of writing and yet also have an intriguing entry of my own. Gabby's showed that i can take my explanation of opinions to another level and Sofia's showed me that i can take my personal opinions to another level.
