Brandt’s ideas are about the evolution of literacy and the way it has been passed down throughout the years. She also, said the discrimination had to do with it too, which i thought was very interesting. But it makes sense because only a certain color was allowed to learn these things and it took sometime for them to catchup. In the end we all became equal but are still having some trouble.

A lot of things surprised me about this chapter in the way that we do peer editing. When I did peer editing in high school it was usually with a friend and we just checked for spelling. But in the book when you do peer editing you are trying to help the person who is writing the essay because in the end but people are trying to get the best grade they possibly can get.

The things that i’m getting are my class schedule and how I am able to make time for myself and getting my work done. The things that I’m not getting as much are the bus schedule because it can be confusing at time but i feel like i’m starting to get the hang of it. Doing my homework and studying is going to be a little tricky for my be homework i’m trying to get done as soon as possible so i have time to do stuff for me but also, getting study time in there as well. “m stressed about everything because i just want to do so great in school and i don’t want to mess up my future for doing something stupid.

This is an example post, originally published as part of Blogging University. Enroll in one of our ten programs, and start your blog right.

You’re going to publish a post today. Don’t worry about how your blog looks. Don’t worry if you haven’t given it a name yet, or you’re feeling overwhelmed. Just click the “New Post” button, and tell us why you’re here.

Why do this?

• Because it gives new readers context. What are you about? Why should they read your blog?
• Because it will help you focus you own ideas about your blog and what you’d like to do with it.

The post can be short or long, a personal intro to your life or a bloggy mission statement, a manifesto for the future or a simple outline of your the types of things you hope to publish.

To help you get started, here are a few questions:

• Why are you blogging publicly, rather than keeping a personal journal?
• What topics do you think you’ll write about?
• Who would you love to connect with via your blog?
• If you blog successfully throughout the next year, what would you hope to have accomplished?

You’re not locked into any of this; one of the wonderful things about blogs is how they constantly evolve as we learn, grow, and interact with one another — but it’s good to know where and why you started, and articulating your goals may just give you a few other post ideas.

Can’t think how to get started? Just write the first thing that pops into your head. Anne Lamott, author of a book on writing we love, says that you need to give yourself permission to write a “crappy first draft”. Anne makes a great point — just start writing, and worry about editing it later.

When you’re ready to publish, give your post three to five tags that describe your blog’s focus — writing, photography, fiction, parenting, food, cars, movies, sports, whatever. These tags will help others who care about your topics find you in the Reader. Make sure one of the tags is “zerotohero,” so other new bloggers can find you, too.
