  1. – Teaching us to understand braille, which I think is very fascinating
    – Talking about using stricter gun laws to reduce crime, but that donesn’t seem to be helping. When is shows a lower murder rate in places that have less strict gun laws.
    – Revise and improve your proposal +5 by sunday at midnight, no new assignment but a chance to get a better grade and a better idea for yourself about your proposal.

  5. We went about how to write/read braille. And solved a braille puzzle

    With out proposals we need to be more clear.
    We need to describe it show claims

    I found it helpful if we write some claims in our proposal, this gives us something to look back to for quick response. We should apply these techniques to bring more evidence of our article out

  8. Brief and clear explanations of good ideas factors into a good essay.
    Paragraphs that are to the point make the use of the word count better.
    Quality over quantity.

    The techniques used help the reader understand the information given and makes it so there is no filler information. Word count is important but the content is what matters most. Getting straight into the information and to the point makes the quality of the essay better.

  10. Braille is an alphabet composed of the base being a series of 10 patterns, a-j, repeated with the addition of a dot on the bottom right or bottom left to determine other letters of the alphabet, k-z.
    SImplify your paragraphs to the briefest form and state your claims clearly.
    Proposal+5 can be revised for this weekend.
    Material you quote may not prove what you say it proves. Be careful to only compare apples to apples.

  11. Reply: I think cutting out the fluff of my writing is going to make my proposal and context descriptions better. I tend to be too wordy and that can sometimes hurt the point I’m trying to makes

    Class 10/19
    Braille discussion and riddle
    Why is there Braille at the drive-thru window?

    Brevity and clarity : finding ways to make proposal paragraphs more simple and clear. Figure out how to distill claims. You can say what needs to be said with a sentence or two.
    Don’t describe; purposefully summarize: state what conclusions and claims are made in articles for essential content. Tell us exactly what people say and their claims. If you say police officers talk about it. What do they talk about?
    Make sure proofs:prove: with statistics make sure you explain and make it prove your thesis. Apples compared to apples.
    Sunday approved and revised proposal +5 due
