The Great Moon Hoax:

the purpose is that this was a persuasive essay because they are tryig to say that NASA never landed on the moon. the authority is that the author is Dr. Tony Phillips, the producer is Dr. Tony Phillips, the curator is Bryan Walls, Media Relations is Steve Roy, Responsible NASA official is Ron Koczor. The currency is the date of the article is Feb. 23, 2001 which is very outdated. The intended audience and appropriateness is anyone interested in NASA or space. many students interested in science would like this article. The informational content is that the topic is relevant because i am interested in the moon landing and the topic has been covered at a sufficient level. This is an educational cite because it gives you a lot of information about the landing on the moon in 1969. It is also a government cite because NASA is a government organization.

moon landing

I believe that we landed on the moon. I believe this because all of my science teachers have taught me that we went to the moon in 1969. There is many evidence that can prove that we landed on the moon i believe that it would be to hard to stage this event and back it up. All the photos that were taken on the moon are all real i believe. There are some moon landing conspiracy theories that believe that NASA staged the moon landing in 1969. All though that some people believe these theories i have to disagree with them. My parents are the main reason i believe that the moon landing is true because they have convinced me that it is true because they were alive during the moon landing.

Research paper 2/9/10

Jackie Robinson

I really enjoy watching baseball. i used to live in michigan, so i am a Detroit Tigers fan. what interests me about this topic is that i think Jackie Robinson was not only one of the greatest baseball players but was also a great individual. he was the first african american major league baseball player. over ten seasons he played in six world series and six all-star games. his MLB debut was April 15th, 1947 for the Brooklyn Dodgers. i wanted to write about Jackie Robinson because a lot of people today don't know who he is or what he has done. His major league debut brought an end to segregation that lasted sixty years. Robinson brought the style of the Negro Leagues with him. He transformed the game from a static, power-oriented one to the more dynamic mixture of speed with power. Throughout the history of baseball there have been many legendary and talented athletes to play the game and Jackie Robinson is one of them. Through racism, hatred, and skepticism he stepped up to the plate in every sense of the word and became the first black professional baseball player in history.

Journal #3

Tuesday, January 26th our class went to the writing center and learned about what they could do to help us when writing papers. They can not only help us write papers for english they can help us with just about any subject. So since i have a research paper to do for my music history class i can go to the writing center and get some help on writing the paper. The writing center is located in the Robert Bell building which is close to where i live so it is not that far of a walk. The people at the writing center can help you get started on your paper and can help you edit your paper. I really think that this could help anybody like me who needs help when writing papers.

English 104: English Composition 2 Spring 2010
I think the syllabus will really help me in this class because of the schedule on the back so i know what to prepare for before every class. The course schedule was a good idea and i think that every class should have one. There is a lot of information about the writing projects for class. It talks about the research journals, conferences, and peer reviews. It doesnt seem like there are many assignments for the class. There are only 7 assignments and most of those are projects. i think that this class is going to be harder than english 103 because more is expected out of you or writing your papers. The grading rubric seems kind of hard because it says that a good paper should convicingly and ardently communicates a noteworthy idea to an audience through sophisticated use of rhetorical strategies. I actually like english and i usually do well in english so i think i will like this class.
