NJASK

          The NJASK seemed easy and comfortable for me. I believe I did much better on this one's than last year's because for some reason I think I learned more in 6th grade since we have two periods for English and everyday in class we do non-stop work and essays. I really remembered all the things I need to write in my essay and which essay was it. For example, the first essay really easy to figure it out, an persuasive essay. I knew Lall the things I need to put in there. the statistic, opposition, three reasons, thesis statement, quote, proposal, an amazing ending,... In reading while I read, I asked questions to myself along the way to understand. When I didn't knew the answer to one of the questions, I first crossed off the silly answers, then looked back in the story to answer it. For the open-ended response, I knew what I had to do. I rememered if it's a short story, add quotation marks around it. Add citations. Add three reasons. Restate the question,... Pretty simple I thought. But I know I did pretty well on the NJASK on this year than on last year.

                                  

Suprise Essay

Rashmi Dogra

Sam and Joe were home from school. They both looked up at the calender and marked off their day. They saw it was there parents anniversary. Mom came home from work.

“Kids, I’m going to the super market. Love you.” mom informed.

They realized their dad is still at his office. So Sam thought of an idea for this very special day.

“ Joe, let’s surprise them. Like a very special dinner or something.” said Sam.

Joe differed. “No, let’s have a surprise party. I’ll order the food and set up the decorations.”

“ And I’ll invite the guests for the party.” Sam said.

Everything was already. The food, the decorations, the planning. But something was missing. No one of the guests arrived. Sam called everyone. Her aunt, uncle, grandparents, parent's friends, and everyone relative to her family.

“Joe, I tried all my best. Some people are busy, it’s too far away, work, and other needs. I’m sorry.” Sam frowned.

“It’s fine. We can think of a another plan. Besides, all the food and the decorations are done.” Joe explained.

Sam and Joe were thinking of a plan. But no ideas came out. They got several ideas but didn’t seem to work out. They thought about the idea of having no guests at all. But Sam thought no guests means no party.

“ We don’t need a party.” said Joe.

“ What do you mean? Party is what are parents would like.” questioned Sam.

“ We can just have a little dinner with ourselves and our parents. ” Joe said.

The door had opened. It was their parent had entered in the house. Mom and dad looked at the decorations and food. When Sam and Joe saw them, they yelled...

“ HAPPY ANNIVERSARY! ’’ Joe and Sam screamed.

Mom and dad were surprised of their hard work, So Sam and Joe took chairs for them to sit down. And that anniversary wasn’t that bad after all.

Quote

         Everytime everybody should try and try until they get it right. "Fall seven times, stand up eight."(Japanese proverb) Every person should never give up. They should keep trying and trying because this tells everyone they are the best to be. Giving up means that person never tried to acheive their goal. Everyone will get it right somebody but not just anyday. A day where that person keeps trying and trying until they get it right. This relates to a personal experience that everyone has been through.
           As a student, I always try to make it in to the A honor role. I never got it in for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd marking period. But I do tend to keep trying my best to get an A honor role in the 4th marking period. I got a really close to getting a A honor role in 1st marking period. In 2nd, I almost had it, 0.5 percent I needed to get the A honor role. For 3rd, I dropped. I got two B's but extremely close to getting it. I got this by trying and trying. If I gave up, I would not able to acheive one of my important goal. That would tell me that I didn't try to work hard enough for this accomplishment. But I did since I kept trying harder and harder which made me more confident. This concludes to historical figures how they never gave up and kept trying.
            Martin Luther King is a historical person who never gave up. He cared about having whites and blackes equal rights. He didn't want whites to sit in front and blackes to sit in the back in the bus. And whites and blackes to go to different schools. But Martin never gave up his dream. Martin spoke to everyone that everyone should have equal rights and no one is to be offended. Don't judge a person's skin, character, or anything else. He was a person who didn't stop but he also made fair rights. Martin was a man who kept trying.
           Giving up is a huge thing that someone never wants to do. Even if it's a homework assignment, test, sports, getting into honors, or anything. As a student, anyone doesn't want to give up, they want to keep trying. Also, a historical figure doesn't want to give up their huge dream. Never give up and keep trying even if it takes a long time to acheive it!
          

Less Homework

               Teachers and parents suggest children should have more homework. This is not a best decision for our students. "I like a teacher who gives you something to take home to think about besides homework." by Lily Tomlin.  Timing is important for everyone. All worries will be gone with less homework. And can spend time with family and friends. It is good desicion to chose less homewrok than less homework. up really late.
             Timing is important. Having a lot of homework, the students have a to stay until midnight. That means they'll have less sleep. Sleep for at least 7 or 8 hours. If they sleep for 4 hours or 6, they will all feel lazy, tired, and half-dressed! Students should have less homewrok because of the fact the time is going so quick that childern need to do other things as wellOthers might say kids need to do other studies as well. Like for there additional classes. Not only that, but clubs and activities after school. There might be practices or championship games  coming uup. Or club meetings. Timing what everyone wants and needs.
              Worries will be gone when there is less homework. Having more homework, a student would have more responsibility and have to remember a lot. If there is less homework, not lot of worries. When there's more homework, the more the students have to keep track of. The less, the students can simply keep track in their head. If students are going to bring there homework home, they have to stuff it in there bookbag. The more, the more to carry which will be a pain! The less, the less to carry which will be easy! Worries will be all gone with the help of less homework.
             Spending time with families and friends will change everyone's mood. Spending time with real friends makes the student get to know another student. Spending time with siblings, will help the siblings get along. And it will help each person feel comfortable from their family. It will also help the student get to know more things, stories, and other parts of their family much more better. This will change kids moods much more happier. 80% of americans don't spend time with their friends and family because of homework. The oppostion would say spending time with families and friends won't help school. They are wrong on this because it's not about school, but mostly about spending time with families and real friends!
            The decision to allow more homework is not correct. Losing time is not what everyone wants. No one wants to be worried. And losing time spending with family and friends will be a tragic! Less homework should concluded in school not more homework!     
            

School Uniforms

                                                        Paragraph 1-Introduction
             " America has believed that in differentiation, not uniformity lies the path of process. It acted on the belief,it has advance human happiness and it has prospered. "(Louis D. Brandeis) Louis tells us that America is a free country and all about being different means that person is a true individual. Wearing uniforms is a choice and a decision to make. Does anybody think should wear uniforms in school? The answer is simply no. Uniforms don't express teens and teens want to wear the coolest outfit. Parents have have to purchase uniforms and regular clothes. Kids should be different and I ensure uniforms never make someone different than anyone else. The reason why uniforms are not recommended because without uniforms we would able to express our self and everybody else, identify others personality, become an individual, and uniforms don't have to be bought.

                        Paragraph 2-First Reason: Personalities and expressing yourself
             Kids would be better without uniforms so everybody would be able to express themselves and others and identify peoples personalities. Expressing people shows how great everyone and personalities show if some one is intelligent , girly and other personalities. For instance,if there's a new girl in class and someone wants to know what she dresses like ,whether that person's type or not. If some one has to wear a uniform and that person hates it and that person wants to wear the new expansive outfit .It's not fair that any student wouldn't have a choice . People who are for uniforms , they would state it is good to wear outfits that everybody would love.They would be wrong on this because everybody can always ask about the new student instead of looking at its clothing.

                                 Paragraph 3- Second Reason: The Cost is Solved    
                 Costing of uniforms is a big deal, but without uniforms,not much. The cost tells why is the cost too much on uniforms and what can people do to make it a better.If kids did wore uniforms, parents would have to purchase uniforms and clothing outside of schools.The more someone buys, the less the money.The less the money,the less someone can afford. Some people can't afford uniforms.The people who are for uniforms would say only buy regular clothes say it costs less. They are wrong on this because parents don't have to buy new expansive clothing for school.

                          Paragraph 4-Third Reason: Individual Suits Everyone
Being an individual stands for being one different person. A different person is a way to understand others . Understanding others means to hear about people and see how they are different from any other person.Not only that, but comparing and contrasting other people's personality.In a way, if some one is smart and the smart one likes to know much about the new person .Well ,it can be easily compared and contrasted. Being one shows some one is born for that and no one would take that place.Share ideas and compare styles from one another.The opposition would say people can get to know that person better. T he opposition is wrong on this because it would lead violence, bulling,and arguments.Because of that , they would have lots of differences.

                         Paragraph 5-Conclusion
It's not fair that kids from K-12 have to wear the same clothing everyday cause of the uniforms.Edison township kids would be better without uniforms so they would able to express their selves and identify personalities.Costing of uniforms are a big deal but without uniforms, not much.Being an individual stands for being one person.This shows everybody's talents, style, favorites, and etc... without the use of uniforms!

Reflection Thinking Points

      I like my piece because it has all the required things. Celebes's, Techniques,  and many more. Has a special song " Cozy uggs, cozy uggs, stick your foot in the cozy uggs. YEAH! It even has emotions and feelings. For example, "Well, what I'm I waiting for? I got to get these uggs!" I feel I am good expressing things, remembering my lines, well dressed and prepared. Some areas where I could improve are making eye contact. Speaking louder and being much braver. Persuasive essay writing techniques and strategies I'd like to try next time are don't be nervous and imagine your talking to yourself. But also relax and not be so afraid. Be calm and be like a professional. The part of the writing process I enjoyed most is trying to remember the lines because you feel like your really in a commercial on TV. You feel different because you never do this at all. And you get to  remember lines that you wrote that seem easy. My goals for the next time I write are to add more details and add support into it. Make feel that your really, really want this. Meaning excitement. Three things I learned about myself throughout this project are I really come up of a lot of things. Had ideas that appeal to the audience and maybe I should try doing this more often. The mentor authors who informed my writing were Kim, myself and my teachers. Readers will see my mentor author's or author's writing craft in my essay when they read the sections  of their lines, when they say the price, persuasive techs, slogan, and etc........


This is my reflection thinking points for my commercial
Uggs

Convice a TV Station

      TV station, I would consider my commercial to be on TV. Because my commercial has everything. It has a excellent slogan, "Tech foots are cool for you. It's all over the world for you!" It even is for everyone. Kids, adults, babies, everyone. It's good for gym like jogging, running, walking, and everything. Not only it's good for uses but makes your foot comfortable. It warms your foot if it gets cold. Not only that, it relaxes and heals your foot. AMAZING, RIGHT! The amazingly awesome shoe has a supreme design with a fashionable sense. Who wouldn't love these shoes? I'm sure that no one will disagree. It's cool, it's awesome, and fantastic!
I am sure you'll except me!

                              Tech foots

Elastica

          Skechers is a type of popular shoe for kids and grown ups.  This stood out to me as a persuasive language because this commercial persuaded me to buy this product. It pacifically said in the advertisement, " Don't let laces slow you down. Look cute, have fun. Skechers!" In this advertisement, they don't want you to buy laces because they think there uncool. They want you to buy the best shoe in the world which is skechers. Laces are totally uncool because of the fact that laces can off so you have to tie them over and over again which is really irritating.  Skechers are cool because no woodchips go in and its tight so it won't come off. It evens has different kinds of skechers. High tops, glow in dark, regular, breeze, and more.


Do you agree or disagree?

Skechers

        Skechers is a popular advertising sneaker. It's for every person. But for kids, the commercial is different. It has many different commercials for it. In one commercial, it is about a mummy with laces and a boy who saves kids from having laces. And that boy wants everyone to have skechers instead of laces. All the commercials are about a boy or a girl, and  a enemy who hates skechers. It goes from enemy attacking people to people in trouble to a boy or girl saving people by the help of  skechers.
         I like this and dislike this. What I like about this is, it has different kinds of skechers. Some glow, some are high tops, plain, colorful, glittery, and the styles and shapes are different.  I like that the sneakers include a charm with it and a comic book.  Also,it even helps your shoes stay on and wood chips won't get in your shoe.They have a lot of those shoes everywhere.What I dislike is, its too tight!!! It even is too expensive at stores and they got too old. It has been for lots of years.

Now you know about skechers.

Skechers

College/Career Unit reflection

   The career unit took along time putting it together. We had to do our resume, job interview questions, letter of recommendation, and other sheets to fill in. In total it took about 10 hours to get it all finished. For me, the longest part was doing the resume. The quickest one was the letter of recommendation. It seemed quick doing all this, but it took a lot of time. It was easy for me. But some of the researching for the colleges were a little hard to find. I had to use tons of websites to find tons of research. Now that I am all prepared, I have to practice. During practice, I learned that I have to be serious, well-dressed, cleaned, understandable, and ready. I mostly had to practice my job interview questions. The questions were, "Why should I hire you?", "What would your past employers say, if I called them?", "Tell me about yourself."  I also learned  much more things. If you don't know an answer to a question, say " Let's go back to the question later or I am not comfortable with that question."I also learned to never say jokes. And to bring extra resumes. Speaking of resumes, the resume seemed long, easy and fun. Even the letter of recommendation seemed that way but was quick. My career unit has been helping me for my future plans for college and getting a job!

College Essay

Her parents had died in their house by fire. She has 2 siblings, Sunny, a infant and Klaus, a 10 year old boy. Violet loves to invent things. "there's always something." she says. The Life of Nikola Tesla is her favorite book. Very bright pink is her favorite color. Working with mechanical device is her #1 hobby. Skipping rocks is what she enjoys. And she is allergic to peppermints. This girl isn't lucky. Her both parents have died. And she has to live in different places every time.

Welcome to our class, Ms. Carroll

Welcome to our class, Ms. Carroll! I am glad to introduce the class and myself. Here is a little info about me. Rashmi Dogra is my name. Washington Elementary School is the school I came from. What I like to do is, to do art such as painting, drawing, printmaking and designing and much more. I also love to play outside and hang out with my friends. Like to play sports, race, play games, bike ride and walk with my friends outside. With my friends, I like to eat, walk, draw, go over to people's houses, and have fun! In middle school so far, I like the lockers because they protect your things such as books and backpack to get stolen. In English, the most best thing I ever liked was that we get to learn something new everyday like in reading, we read new books, or in Grammer, we learn more proper Grammer that we didn't know that we make those silly mistakes while talking and writing. The bad part is that we get so much tests, and esays that we never stop. My strengths are, I good at being responsible and doing my homework right on time. My weakness is, I am not really good at English, mostly reading.

During English, the class and I do alot of Grammer everyday when we enter the classroom. We also read a book and answer questions. Then we have a test or quiz based on the grammer and the book with the questions. In writing, we have an essay to do. Sometimes when we have to say a speech, interview, or talk about something, then our English teacher, Mrs. Patalano video tapes us and then we watch it. But some things are fun. We get into groups for our book that we get assigned on. Or like we get on computers and go on different websites like Glogster,www.Coin3.com, Blogger,ect. But anyways this is about me and my class. We wish you a very good time with my class and I.

Career Goals

         Time is flying by so fast that it is time for you to get prepared for your future goals. My goal is to become a veterinarian when I pass college. I always wanted to become this because I am a animal lover meaning I love animals so much. Here is what I would want to do with animals when I am a adult. One, I would like to give healthy food for them to become healthy. Two, I would want to treat them nicely and feed them medicine when they are injured or sick. Three, to protect them from predators, poachers, or any other harm. Four, to make sure they are happy and jolly because that would make me very happy. Five, to make sure everything is OK with them! Anyways, if this did really happen, I would scream! Every time I see an animal's face, I get so excited and happy that makes me want to jump! Just like when I saw my aunt's dog for the first time, I screamed! After I got used to it, I played games, treat him nicely..... And then when I always saw her and she saw me, she always jumped up and licked my face!
        Ever since I heard of Rutgers University, a college from my previous teachers and this year's teachers have talked about, I thought about it. I said "Since my teachers say it is a good school, why not go to this school in the future." I mean the first time I heard this was in 5th grade, my teacher Miss Veluya told me about it. She said that she went there for college and told my whole class that it wasn't the easiest school to get into but it is a wonderful school of fun learning. Because of the fact that I want to become a veterinarian, I think I would be interested in going to health science. I prefer to get into the master's degree to be the best. But at the end of college, I would hope that I get to be a veterinarian so I can live my dream! But before that, I would have to take an exam. Good luck for my self in the future!
        For me, I wouldn't care where I get a job. Weather if it is out of town or out of the state, I wouldn't care at all. I just want to accomplish my dream!

New Year's Resolutions

        A new year has began that always has some improvement that people make. In 2011, my new year’s resolution is to get more improvement on English. Since I was in second grade till now, which I am in sixth grade, I still haven't improved English yet and I still continue to achieve that goal. My plan to accomplish this goal is to use my English teacher, Mrs. Patalano advices that were written on my essays, and advices that Mrs. Patalano tells in class and will try to use them in the future. If I really do accomplish my goal to get better at English, then I am glad that 2011 will be a fantastic and a wonderful year! And if I don't accomplish this goal, then I will try it next year!
