Simpsons marathon

Weither you watch the show or not, you most likely heard of The Simpsons. We'll for all you fans out there, Fxx has been having a every Simpsons ever marathon. That's over 500 episodes, or 12 DAYS of nonstop Simpsons. The show has been around for almost 25 years. That means it's older than me and a lot of other things. It's pretty amazing that they are still coming out with new episodes and have been for 25 years. At the rate the are going the next Simpsons marathon will be a month long. That's insane a whole month of a show, I recommend calling it simptember.

Arranging Your Doc

It is important when writing a document to keep it organized and clean. Organization is the order you put your information in and how it wotrks together. You should first put in your abstract and then continue with your introduction and follow with your body and conclusion. When putting in sources and citations, make sure to put it in the right order with your writing and words. Organization is one of the most important parts of writing a paper or document, and can really affect the outcome of your grade.

Concluding a Document

It is imprtant that whenever you are writing a paper or assignment, to have a strong conclusion or closing statement.In the closing paragraph you should restate what your paper said (in different words) and you should also close of the topic and leave no questions unanswered. Do not go easy on writing just because it is the last paragraph and end of the paper. Your conclusion should be just as strong as your abstract and introduction. The conclusion  is just as important as the rest of the paper.

Doc 3 topic part 2

Here we go again, another blog topic about the same subject. The assignment that I chose to do for doc 3 is hypertension. Hypertension is high blood pressure which means your heart rate is above 100–140mmHg. High blood pressure is said to be present if it is often at or above 140/90 mmHg. High blood pressure is caused by increased smoking, eating unhealthy, and not excersizing amongst other things. High blood pressure is very common in america, this has to do with the unhealthy eating habits that people have. There is no immediate cure for hypertension, but living healthy and smart can help prevent the disease.

Doc 3 topic

In doc 3 we had to choose an assignment from another class to write about, the topic I chose was hypertension. For those who donor know, hypertension is high blood pressure. Hypertension is one of the most occurring diseases here in the United States. This may be because of our high stressed environments,or people's unhealthy eating and excercise habits. There is no immediate cure for hypertension, but there are steps to preventing it. Not smoking, eating healthy and exercising regularly are easy ways to prevent hypertension. Taking these basic steps of living a healthy and stress free life are some ways of fighting and hopefully stopping hypertension.

Organizing Doc 3

Doc 3 is like no ther assignment we had. It is not about the flipped classroom and we have to talk about another class assignment. In this assignment we have to portray another classes assignment and present it to people who are not in that class. It is important to be clear and have a good understanding of the topic we are trying to talk about. Because these people are not in that class, they do not know what the topic is and what it is about. It is crucial to organize our Doc 3 in a way that is persuasive and can be easily understanded by the reader.

Doc 3 part 2

In our doc 3 assignment we have to take an assignment from another class and present it to students not in that class. It is important to keep the reader interested throughout the paper, so that they do not lose their understanding of the topic and the point we are trying to make. Being persuasive and precise  about our topic is crucial to keeping the reader involved and interested. Because it is an assignment from another class, other students might not know what the assignment is. Writing with a scholarly and educated viewpoint is important in trying to persuade and teach other students about a topic they do not understand.

Doc 3 assignment

In our Doc 3 assignment we have to take an assignment from another class, and present it in a convincing argument to persuade our reader. Being clear and precise in this assignment is important,because the reader does not know about the other classess topic of the assignment. This assignment will teach us skills to sharpen our skills at persuading and communicating with people. This is important, because when we are professionals we have to communicate and persuade other workers and buisnessess. Being authorative and powerful can go a long way with persuading people, and trying to prove your point.

What is APA?

When writtting a scholarly paper, it is important to know how to write with the APA format and checklist. APA stands for American Psychological Association and it is the guidlines and format for how to write an educated paper. Along with APA there are different types of writting formats and styles such as, MLA, Chicago,  and Turabian. MLA and APA are the most commonly used styles of formatting, and they both have checklist that you can verify that your assignment is up to the standards. APA is very important to learn and know for future assignments and eventhough it is a little like MLA, it has it's own style and formatting.

What to blog about

First off, I want to blog about something else, I just can't think of anything. Getting up early and working all day in the sun drained my body and now I can't think.  I was debating on doing another blog on the flipped classroom, but I think we can all agree four is enough. I was hoping between this homework and my medical terminology studying I would think about something to write about, guess not. We'll as it turned out deciding on what to write about turned out to be a good topic. Maybe next time I will think off something better.

Purpose for Doc2

There may be many purposes for us writing doc 2.I think one of those purposes for us writing is to get the flipped classroom technique across to our reader. The flipped classroom is a pretty diverse topic so us explaining it is can be very helpful to someone reading our document. It is important for us to come across on a scholarly level , and make edeucated points in our assignment, to make sure it is clear and easy to understand for the reader. The reader in this assignment can be anyone from a teacher wanting to learn a new teaching style, to a student wanting to understand how to teach, so it is vitale to portray a professional voice and opinion. Knowing the purpose of why and what we are writing is the first first step of knowing the assignment.

Football's back

For all of you football fans and especially miami dolphin fans, the season is almost here. Preseason officially kicks off friday night when we play the falcons. This year is a big year for us, it is Ryan Tannehill's third year at quarterback, and he is primed for a big season.Mike Wallace will have to prove that he is not a waste of $95 million. With Bill lazor coming over from philadelphia replacing mike sherman as offensive coordinator, we should have a high powered west coast offense ready to score some points. It will be a tough schedule with games against the broncos,packers, and patriots,but if we play to our full potential we hopefully can win. It's not easy being a dolphins fan,but hopefully this is our year to make the playoffs and cause some damage for other teams.
