So lecture that we had b4 our class was canceled, we talked about WRITING! How it's a process and this was familiar to me but it did not really click. But then Dr. Harris was telling us how now a days people SKIP this step or steps and just do all of their revising/editing on the computer. Where as b4 we use to get out paper,pencil and do like three rough drafts before turning in. And this is not saying that the papers have got bad but doing EVERYTHING on the cmptr just makes it harder for the person writing because 9 times out of 10 every body does their papers last minute. So doing this you are just adding more stress to your self when really you do not need the aded stress of editing along side skool, and work. So the first step we talked about in class was how you should start off PRE-WRITING. Which is you organizing your thoughts and using semantic maps, just so you can get a feel on how your paper is going to flow. 2nd was Drafting which is the sloppy copy, you just putting thoughts on paper. 3rd step is Revising this is where you change,add,or delete sentences. On this part your paper will be better if you get two-three opinions also its time to focus on word choice in this section. Such as really look at the words you use because you do not want to use the same words through out your paper. Editing is the 4th step which consist of spelling , capitilizing, punctuation. Last and final step PUBLISH!
*THIS IS MY STORY:
If I won a trip to Outer Space I would be the happiest girl in the world. I have always been fascinated by the planets and zero gravity and actually being able to see with my own eyeshow big our planets really are.
First thing I would do after i win the prize to vo into outer space would be to put that specail white, fluffy suite on my fluffy body.Pounce out of the shuttle while looking and feeling like the Michelin man. Now i know from prior research that i am NOT allowed to take my mask off because there is not enough Oxygen to breath w/out my special suite. After putting the suite on i imediatly get strapped in tight. I can hear the countdown 5...4...3....2....1. Houston we have lift off! I can not see a thing from my little square thing they call a "window". I fall asleep, but i wake my happy self up and see earth. It looks soooo small. i catch myself doing the thumb gesture that Tom Hanks did in th emovie Apollo 13. I am so happy to have won a trip to outer space and i fall asleep again. Traveling takes alot out of ya! =]
I'm woken up by two men unstrapping me from my seat and pushing me out from the space shuttle. Wow what nice people they are! I am not going to let those meanies ruin my trip, nope i am gonna go and try to make new friends. The other dayon PBS (which is a wonderful learning station). Astronomers found that life forms from ice that they found on Mars. I'm not to sure what these life forms look like but my mission is to make new freinds because it is really lonely up here and kinda dark. I am looking at my surroundings and it's red/orangish so to my prediction I'm on Mars. I started walking around this weird planet and i saw a weird object. Usually I would run but i was curious. The object started squirming toward me, It seemed to be a type of worm w/three heads. I found out the "worms" name was Bobby but they like to b called Bob.
I suggested we travel aroudn to the other planets. Bob said they had just the thing (because do not forget, Bob spoke english) they brought our transportation out and we jumped in. I was actually seeing our Solar System and not getting close to the sun or the black hole because I needed to go back and the shuttle radioed me and said they were coming ot get me and take me back to earth in 10 minutes. So i asked my friends if they could drop me off where i first meet them because i had to go back to get picked up and go back to EARTH. So i sadi my good byes and said thnx for everything.
This is what i would expect if I won a trip to outer space.
