Last year had good advice for what to do, and I am going to show you some of them. One of them is do NOT procrastinate, it is even worse as it sounds, you are going to have to catch up a lot if you procrastinate. Second, you should read a lot, sense this is a English class you must have to read a lot, especially for the iread 40 program. Third is to pay attention, the class will move by quickly and you will not notice what happened, so you will probably have to pay attention, just don't over work yourself while doing it. Those were just some good advice from last year.

I think of my self as a sorta good writer, I've always wanted to just make one book. I can never decide which one I want to do, I want to do a sorta SI-FI/realistic fiction book or a fantasy book. I started to write a lot on Google Docs on random stories, I never finished one. I hope to finally finish making a book in this class, it will take some time to do though. I mostly like writing fantasy, it's just my kind of style, being sucked into another world far away from here. Now that I have introduced my self a bit more to my classmate(s), I hope we can get along with each other and make this school year the best we ever had.

       Hi, this is Daisy Jessop. The three best pieces of advice that I saw included reading. I have always loved to read so I don't think that will be too big of a problem for me, but the thought of reading twelve books each trimester sort of stresses me out. Though, since we're all in honors, then we should be able to do a pretty good job of reading a lot. The second piece of advice was to relax, this class is more advanced yes, but that doesn't mean we have to stress about it too much. This should be a pretty easy class so there isn't much to stress about. We just need to relax, it will just make it harder if we're stressing out about everything. The last, and possibly most important piece of advice was to not procrastinate! Like I said before, this class shouldn't be too hard for us. Unless, we procrastinate. I seem to always do this, just make up an excuse to get out of doing my work. It always catches up to me though. I have to do it anyways, every time. It just makes it a lot easier for us if we don't procrastinate so that is one of the things I am going to have to work on.

       I have never really liked writing. I thought it was stupid and hard. Now that I've gotten older though, it has gotten easier. I prefer to write from a prompt, because then I actually know what to write about. I am terrible at coming up with topics by myself. There are too many things to write about! With a prompt there to guide me in what I have to write, it makes it so much easier for me to stay focused on writing. I started writing in school. When I was younger I did not like writing at all so I didn't do it in my free time. I wrote essays in fourth, fifth, and sixth grades, although I can't remember if I did essays in third and second grades. When I got a little older I sometimes started stories but I never finished them. That got me a little better. It was pretty good practice. I guess I will just have to see how my writing improves over the year. I bet that this year will get me a lot of information that could really help my writing to become better than it is right now. So, that is all for this post. See you next time though.

        Hello this is Kennedie Harris! After reading most of the blog posts I found the top three things I need to do to survive in Mrs. Robins honors class. The first thing is, DO NOT PROCRASTINATE! You see I do this a lot and that is why I picked this, an example of me doing this is actually this assignment, the last day it was due I tried to do it. I have learned my lesson, do not procrastinate! I have a habit of doing this, and I NEED to break it. To help me from not procrastinating I am going to start getting my assignments done first before I do anything I mean ANYTHING. The second thing I found I need to do in Mrs. Robins class is, read. In one of the blog posts it says "You’re going to think, "I have the whole year, it’ll be fine," but then you’re going to have a month left to cram all the extra books in." This is true! I know it. There have been so many times where I have done this. I need to remember to read books more often. It's just that I am very picky with books, and sometimes it takes me a while to find the perfect one. The last piece of advice is, don't stress. I stress a lot, and sometimes it takes away from all of the fun. Most of the kids who wrote in the blog posts said that nothing has to be perfect, and to just follow the rules and you will be fine. The only problem is that is something is not perfect I will redo it until it is and that is what stresses me out! To help me with this I need to not worry as much as I do and just have fun! All in All, not procrastinating, reading lots, and not stressing will help me in many ways for Mrs.Robins honors class.


        Ever since I was little I have loved to write, I enjoy every second of it! My favorite type of writing is Creative or Fantasy. I will think of a place or thing to start out a story and soon enough I just let my imagination take me wherever it wants to go. I started loving to write around the age of eight. That is when I got my own journal and started writing in it. To this day I still write the craziest, scariest and funniest stories in that journal. This year I am hoping to be able to write more poetry and detailed stories, and obviously, have fun!

       

                 Hi this is Sydney Healy!! After reading last years blog post I have come up with my top 3 best pieces of advice for this year. The first and most important piece of advice is don't procrastinate! This kind of goes along with staying on top off reading. I know exactly how it feels when you procrastinate because after a month long vacation with no homework and no school website I had a whole month worth of homework to do and  still had to do the work we were doing in class. So this year I am going to try my best to get my work done on time. The second most important piece of advice is to pay attention. If I don't pay attention in class I find it so hard to finish homework. As it gets deeper and deeper in the school year i find it so much harder to focus in class. This is definitely something I need to work on. The third most important piece of advice Is to have fun!!! If I took all my school work too seriously my writing wouldn't be as creative and I wouldn't enjoy reading as much.

                 My favorite type of writing is creative. I love a little magic but I am not into total fantasy and wizards. I love reading and writing about tragedies that glue peoples eyes to the page. I love free writing because it always grows my imagination to think up a new story. I love to imagine myself as the characters I read and write about. I am so exited for honors language arts this year!!!

   First off, I loved the honors posts from last year. They were witty, neat, and fun. I just love reading the way that tell the advice. The 3 advise I thought was important was #1, don't procrastinate. it just makes things harder. Also, why procrastinate if you are in honors and shouldn't be slacking. #2,  she will go ALL OUT with parties.  The stories of the kids at the I read 40 club were so go over big, there amazing and can't wait to attend. Lastly, #3, blog posts, hard but fun.  You have to do it so mine as well be fun.
     Hello, I'm patience and I'm a Writer. I like righting essays that have a prompt but I can pick the way I wright it. For instance, the prompt might say. "wright about your favorite food." That way I have a guide line but still pick the direction I go.
