Robbins 1 Meredith Robbins Mr. Sarmiento English 10H March 20th, 2015 Writing Reflection Before this year, the kind of writing I did was persuasive writing and fictional writing. My writing was strong, but I was still weak in a lot of areas that I still wasn?t comfortable with or haven?t practiced enough with. My favorite types of writing were persuasive, because I love to persuade people and talk about why someone should do something. There are many things that I have learned and changed to make my writing stronger. During this past year though, I have improved on types of writing skills such as analysis, thesis statements, and integrating quotes.

Buenas Tardes compa?eros! Hoy voy a hablar sobre el hombre y la naturaleza. La relaci?n entre el hombre y la naturaleza y voy a comparar los comunidades de Virginia y las de Costa Rica. Por que hice un proyecto de este pa?s y me encanta. Para empezar las personas disfrutan la naturaleza en el verano y la primavera porque hace mucho frio en el invierno. En el verano y la primavera algunas personas practican deportes, caminan en el bosque, nadan en la piscina con amigos, y van de camping. En comparaci?n en Costa Rica hace buen tiempo en todo el ano y las personas pueden disfrutar actividades al aire libre. Por ejemplo las personas en Costa Rica exploran sus parques nacionales y observan la flora y fauna tambi?n. Pero nadan en las playas no en piscina.

?I think a true hero is one that sacrifices something valuable or himself/herself in order to save someone from any harm.? People like Superman and Wonderwoman often come to mind when one is asked to give an example of a true hero.? However a true hero does not ever have to be an individual that possesses supernatural powers.? Firemen and policemen are the true heroes in our society.? Everyday these men sacrifice their lives to save people from deadly fires and burglars.? Although these men are one of the true heroes in our society, I believe the most important heroes are the soldiers that fight for our country in Iraq or Afghanistan or whereever they may be stationed.? Every day, every hout, every minute, soldiers risk their lives to keep those they love safe.?

After we have watched both versions, you will be writing an informational essay describing both productions and explaining to your reader which is the better production. I will be collecting your notes and your final essay. Do not include that one version is in black and white and one is in color. You need to look beyond the obvious.
