Procrastination an

                Hi my name is Courtney Derrick. I have read all of the letters from last years honors class and the biggest thing that I saw was, DON'T PROCRASTINATE! This means don't wait until the last second to turn in an assignment. I procrastinated on this assignment and it hasn't helped me at all! I'm just now more stressed to get it done. Procrastination never helped anybody, and to see that all of those posts last year gives this single piece of advice in pretty much every post, it is very important not to.
       I've loved writing in my previous years. Writing is my passion and joy. When I was in 4th grade I would always compete to see who could get the highest score on Utah Compose. That same year I pushed myself so hard that I got a 30! When I was in First Grade I would write stories with single pieces of paper. I love how different types of people create different types of stories and that a single word can be made into a magical book. I get a lot of writing ideas from reading, and the games I would play when I was little, and trust me I have played plenty of games. These games would always be about something magical, such as a mermaid trying to fit in on land, a fairy on a quest, anything I wanted to play! Writing can take imagination to the next level, and that's what I love about it! Thank you for reading my blog post! If you have any suggestions than let me know. -Court

            Hello! This is Brandon Gough and the main peace of advise from last years honors class was DON'T PROCRASTINATE. They say don't wait until the last hour to write your blog, it sucks stressing out at 11:30 PM. My mom hates it when at last second in the morning I say, "Wait! I have homework!" she gives this big huge lesson about how procrastinating can get you kicked out of college, and that doing it when I'm actually supposed to is a lot easier. One of the other tips last year gave us were read a lot! The more you read the bigger your vocabulary increases and the more Mrs. Robins likes you! You have to read 12 books a trimester any way so just read!
           In honors language arts, you have to write LOADS, and lots of different type of styles. The style I like the most is free write. If you give me a paper and tell me to write a story, you wont see me again until the next day! I love writing my own stories and reading other peoples, when I really want to impress someone by a story I make sure that they will be impressed. See you next time, Brandon out.

Hello! I'm Gabriella Dutson, and for the first advice I'm doing for my post is relax.

Relaxing never killed anybody, and you should never stress about anything when taking this class. Personally, I stress very easily. As a minor perfectionist, I fear that the smallest slip-up or having one wrong answer will screw over my entire grade, but this time I'm going to work hard, relax, and believe in myself.
Second is read. You have to read a book and turn in your tracker submission (roughly) every ten days, so don't wait a few and try to down a small book that won't improve your skills just to get it over with. Reading is about losing yourself is the stories and learning new things, not about getting an A is your class. However, that is a bonus ;).
Third, and last of all, DON'T PROCRASTINATE!! It will show, and your grade and the quality of your work will drastically drop. If you put your time and effort into your assignment ahead of time, procrastination will be a measure you'll never have to take.

Hiya! My name is Gabriella Dutson and I'm an amateur artist. I'm twelve years old, thirteen on March 21st. I love to draw, art is my passion. I also enjoy writing, visual editing, and reading! I'm mainly a very energetic introvert, and negative things don't really bring me down. I do admit, I do tease a bit. I can be a little ruthless, haha. I guess there's nothing really important to talk about anymore, I'm waiting for the exciting life to catch up.

Thank you for reading, have a great day! <3

       Hi! Recently I read the advice the last years honors students gave to help this years honors class survive. The number one piece of advice given was: DON'T PROCRASTINATE! This one could help a lot in this class because most people (including myself ) tend to wait until the last minute then turn in very sloppy work that only gets partial credit. The second piece of advice that stood out to me was: turn in your work on time. This one goes along with don't procrastinate because if your work gets in on time you will have the joys of having less homework. The last piece of advice that stood out to me was: do extra credit. Many people mentioned this and said it would help your grade tremendously. I feel like all this advice will help everyone survive honors Language Arts this year.

       Hi everybody! my name is Courtney Pack. I never really thought of myself as a writer but I guess I am. I've always lover writing stories but "writer" was never a word I would use to describe myself My older brother was in Mrs. Robins honors class a few years ago and I've always wanted to follow in his footsteps, so here I am! This year I would really like to become a better writer. I can't judge myself on how good I am but everyone has room to improve. I just like writing stories and don't have any specific tings I like to write about. I am really exited to be in Honors Language Arts this year and know it will be a great year!

Hi, this is Will Warner, I just finished last years Honors blog and one main piece of advice is not to procrastinate. Personally, I do this a lot I just make excuses not to. Last year I kept my grades up surprisingly, but I did all my homework the day it was due and it was really stressful.  This year I will definitely work on this since I will have lots of homework. Another set of advice is to read a lot. I like to read as long as I am reading a good book. If I get into a really good book I can read forever. Since I am in honors I have to read a lot, and I think I will come to like it more.  The last piece of advice I got was to just relax. This is hard for me because I'm always worried about my grades and so caught in work. I can never relax without worrying about something. This is also something I can work.
                    I have never loved writing. I don't really have a favorite type of writing, but I like to free write. If my teacher assigns free write I'd be most happy. Last year we did a lot of that and that made language arts fun for me. Following a prompt is still fun as long as it is a good prompt.  I started writing in preschool like most kids and really liked it. I guess as I've gotten older I have started liking it less. Writing has kinda come naturally to me I've never really had to study super hard for it. I don't consider myself a good writer, but I'm not bad at it. That's all I have until next time on this blog.
                 

Hello Everyone! I just finished reading a few very helpful pieces of advice from last year's 7th graders. 3 of the best (and vitally important) things that I saw were 1- DO NOT PROCRASTINATE! I saw that piece of advice in every post. I think that is very good advice. I don't usually procrastinate, but I will make sure that I won't procrastinate this year. I advise you to do the same. 2-READ!!! I saw this a lot. I think it is a very good idea. I personally LOVE reading, so it won't be too hard to read a lot, but I'll try to read more than usual.  3- Make friends. I thought this was very good advice. I didn't see this in as many, but I thought it was very important. I know maybe half of the class already, but I'll try to strengthen my old friendships and find some new friends this year. I think these pieces of advice will help me be a better student this year because it'll help me enjoy the school year and get good grades.

I've always loved making up stories. I would tell stories to my mom and sometimes at night when she would tuck me in, she would tell me to tell her a story because she was too tired. I didn't write those stories down, but when I was pretty young, I wrote a book for my older sister. She loved animals so with the help of my mom, I made her an ABC book with I think it might've been 5 facts about an animal and it was handwritten by me. (barely legible.:) I included one animal for land and one from the sea. It took me LONG time to write it. I can't remember if I gave it to her for her birthday or for Christmas. She still has it. I also wrote a book for my mom, but it was a book about a movie we loved. It was called The Secret of Moon acre. Technically I copied the story, but I just made it for my mom, Plus, I was still very young. In 5th grade I made my own chapter book called Mother Nature. It is published, but it was only a cool school thing we did then, so it didn't really get for real published and their is only 2 copies. I am currently re drawing some of the pictures so I can make it look better and then I'm going to send it off to see if it can get published.I am also working on some chapter books, a lot actually. I have too many ideas and it takes a while for me to put them down on paper. My longest unfinished one is 149 pages so far. Well, that's my introduction to my writing life. I hope you enjoyed it!

         

  I'm kind of a procrastinator so I decided to try to be one of the first to post. The first of the three pieces of advice I chose is, DON'T PROCRASTINATE. Like I said, I'm a pretty good procrastinator so this advice caught my attention. Everyone had this as one of their biggest things not to do so I am going to try my hardest not to do it. I will definitely get good grades fast if I stop procrastinating. The second piece of advice I took to heart was, Relax. I get stressed really, really easily so when I saw someone write, "don't stress just relax!" I was relieved. I don't do well under stress so taking time to relax and clam down will help me complete my work without stress. The last piece of advise is one I love, this advise was READ! I love to read, it's like my favorite thing to do, but when school starts I get overwhelmed and I have no time to read. If I use the the other two pieces of advice I would have more time to read. Obviously I will benefit from reading more than one way. All of the advice was great but these were the three I liked most. I know I will use all of these pieces of wisdom through out the school year.

        Hi! I am Gwyn Lamoreaux, I have never really loved to write. I don't know why, I think I always thought I was bad at it, but considering I am in honors L.A. I must be okay at writing. I don't have a certain genre that I love to write about. I don't really write outside of school and my journal. I don't really love writing and and my spelling and hand writing aren't the best, but I really want to like writing! I hope to learn how to love writing or at least be more comfortable doing it, and be a lot better at by the end of the year. So there you have my goal, I want to become a better reader\writer and I want to improve in my L.A. skills.
