5th blog(didnt do 4th yet)

The time is coming and it is coming fast . It's almost time to write the second research essay which is on family. I am somewhat looking forward to it.This week in English , we talked about why you cite and source things as well as the different types of formatting. It is very important that you cite references because if you don't then you are plagiarizing . Plagiarizing is kind if like copying or stealing someone's work but not giving credit to them. It is a very serious offense and that can lead to a big fat 0 or you can even get into trouble with the law. The four main reasons why you cite things is to avoid plagiarism, give credit, show credibility, and it allows readers to find out more information on your paper. Also this week two groups presented their grammar presentations. It was fun especially the first one which had us reacting and swiping words on the board. It got a little competitive and it was a great experience. Surprisingly I actually learned something I did not already know. Before the presentations I didn't really know the difference between affect and effect so that was a major plus. Overall this week was pretty chill.
