Why you shouldn't copy work off the Internet

I'd like you all to write a comment on the new blog--Analyzing Literature and EVERYTHING!   msdepasl4t
A few students and I spoke about the blog.  I decided to separate this semester's and last semester's blog to make it easier to comment and navigate.


In class, I told you that you  should be careful about what you post to the Internet (ex. Facebook, Qu Qu, Twitter, Google+ and more) because your online reputation can’t be edited or changed easily. There’s also the problem of posting and finding incorrect information online. For example, you can also find incorrect or misleading facts that seem correct on the Internet.  Many times you need to find information for a paper or homework, the Internet is right there to help you—or hurt you!

I searched for “No Speak English” by Sandra Cisneros and found this essay that looked really good until I read it. This was the revision--final draft!

Can you find the mistakes? There’s one fact and one big literary technique mistake (choice and analysis). Post your answers – A) the fact, B) the correct technique and analysis.

Good Luck!

Alliteration is a type of repetition--the same letter or sound is repeated. For example: "baby boy in a blue blanket" the /b/ repeated. "Cuando, cuando, cuando" is not alliteration.

Welcome to our Blog!

You will find new and exciting stories and poetry that we will discover this semester as well as what I did and taught last semester. I thought that it would be helpful to you to have access to the exciting work we covered last semester. If it's too long and complicated to have last semester's work and this semester's together I'll change it; just let me know. I think it may be useful.
