    • natasha s. - evy z.
      I like both of your relations. Your relations were we detailed. Detailed enough to create a visual for any reader. But it would have been better if you used a better ending. But over all good job.
      cole t.
      I really liked your connection cole. You put a lot of detail into your story. I would be careful of some of your spelling, you only had a few mistakes but keep a look out for them.

      • Mr. Adams - Natasha, these replies need to be pasted into the "turn in" area at the top of the assignment directions.
      • Curt G. - Cassie R
        Cassie, I thought the things you said were very nice and i agree. I think having a good bond. I have a sister and I would like our relationship to be more like yours.
        Jordan T
        Jordan, I could relate to your blog a lot. I remember always playing in the streets. I feel like we have had a similar childhood.
    • alaina k. - Curt:
      Curt I think this is a good response. It includes good detail and it shows how hard you’re willing to work to make a better life for yourself. I think a lot of students are able to relate to having parents with high expectations of you.
      Meena:
      I think if you would have elaborated more on your response it would have been a good one. But yes, they are similar jobs. Good luck man.

    • Erick H. - Response to Kaleigh C. and Mike Barr
      I agree, although by this time people our age should begin to handle things by themselves anyway. AS far as speaking goes, I also agree, 5 minutes is not along time, it is just thought to be. Great Job!
      I couldn’t agree more Mike. The project makes you learn alot, with working with people. I also agree with you on the project not being difficult! Great Job!

        You did great on elaborating your challenges during the graduation project. I could relate with being rushed to get the work done. Your advice was really great to give because falling behind is really bad especially for this project. This was a great blog post.
        RESPONSE TO MARISSA MERKT-
        I faced similar challenges during my presentation because I thought that the project was also very time consuming and stressful when it came to getting work completed on time. I thought that you made a good point about presenting in front of teachers
