Welcome to Advanced Composition!


In ancient times, a scribe was an educated person who could write very well. Scribes would often write down what a person said or carefully copy important documents.

This semester, you will also be scribes as you write down your thoughts and comment on your classmates' blogs. In class, we focus on grammar and writing structure, but in our blogs we will focus on content. Every other Monday I will post a new prompt for you respond to. You will write your response on your own blog. Each response should be 2-3 paragraphs in length. Plan to spend about 30 minutes a week on your blog.

During the weeks when there is not prompt, you will comment on at least two of your classmates' responses. Each comment should be at least 2-3 sentences in length. By the end of the semester, you should have commented on everyone's blog at least one time.

Each assignments is worth 15 points

Be creative, have fun, and tell me your
thoughts!!!!!

Topic 3: What would you uninvent?


Have you ever thought about what life would be like without technology? Technology is great, but sometimes it seems like our life is cluttered with technology. We write emails or text messages instead of actually talking to people. In many homes, the TV is constantly on, and many families actually eat in front of the TV instead of at a dinner table. Then, there are cell phones. People are constantly talking on their cell phones, even when they are at a restaurant with friends!

Don't get me wrong...I don't know what I would do without a TV, computer, or cell phone. But sometimes I miss the world that I knew as a child... a world without the clutter of some of the technology that we take for granted today. Sometimes I wish that I could just univent something and see what would happen! This brings me to my question for this week: If you could “uninvent” one invention in the world so that it would no longer exist, what would you choose? Why?

I look forward to reading your blogs! Remember that the purpose of blogs is to develop content, so please be sure to explain your reasons "why"
 
Your Blog should be 2-3 paragraphs in length.  Due Date:  Monday, October 14th

    I really hate hair dye. I really want hair dye is uninvent, because it is very bad for our health and bad for our environment. Some Chinese people like to change their hair's colour weekly, but at that time they do not know hair dye can cause leukemia. Finally they all died by leukemia.
