Nyasha
My mom and dad are so annoying. They don't understand if we go to England for that long and live in the English ways I am now accustomed to the England behavior. Why can't anyone understand that? It is their fault for the way I act, they are the ones that made me go. I call myself a hybrid, half shona and half English. My father and mother get mad at me for everything talking back to them, talking to boys, the way I dress, and even reading. Yes, I said reading.
My cousin Tambu just came to live with us and I guess she's cool, but she still has a lot to learn about how my family really is and her new world. My father beat me the other night because I was being "disrespectful" to him. I was so scared and I swear I thought he was gonna kill me. I've been going through a pretty hard time, but I think Tambu saved me.

C Layer Evaluation
For my C layer projects I chose to do the guided questions for each chapter, the vocabulary test, and the character bookmark. I actually like doing the question for each chapter because it helps me reflect on what I just read and then I understand the chapters better. The character bookmark let me put all the characters on the table and make the important information needed to know for each character.The vocabulary test was tedious because I had to go back and forth on dictionary.com and find all the vocabulary throughout the book.
For the next set of C layer projects I am doing the questions again because I think the really help me with my reading. After C layer the projects get a little more complex so I will have to really focus and work hard to get the grade I want. These layered projects are better because everyone can pick what they want to do and what they are better at doing.

Research Paper Reflection
The most difficult thing for writing my research paper was the process of finding all of my sources, making sure they were appropriate, and then creating annotated bibliographies for each source. Once I found all of my sources and I researched and read over all the information about my research question writing the draft and pulling all of my ideas together was rather easy. Next year I think you should give the students some time to actually write the paper in class the week it is due because for me after sports practice and with all the other homework we had it was kind of hard to write the draft.
The peer editing we did in class for our final draft of our research paper really helped me. Not only all of the editing marks and feedback helped me, but also having the opportunity to read my peers papers assisted me and gave me ideas for ways to improve my own paper. The grade marks from Dr. D also pushed to find stronger ideas in my paper and better revise my thoughts.
From looking at the final product on my research paper I think I did a pretty good job and I know all those hard long hours of research and writing will hopefully pay off. In my paper I think the word choice and ideas were strong. I also believe I integrated my quotes into my words fairly well. Overall, I feel confident in my final draft.
