Portfolio Plan

       When it comes to making the changes to my research essay, I need to make my freaking point more clear in my introduction. There are two different sentences in my essay and it seems like readers can't decide which one is my thesis from there. Also in my first body paragraph, I plan to add in my statistics there rather than in my person experience paragraphs. Along with some other small edits I find in the process of making these bigger changes.
       I'm going to add in my essay about senior year being a very stressful time. I personally thought this was one of my strongest essays I've written this semester. It was easy to write to since I'm fresh out of high school. I think it'd be nice in my portfolio.
      My reflection essay is definitely going to be fun to think about how I've changed as a writer throughout the semester. I plan to discuss how the mini essay was a preview to see how you as a teacher grade and what is expected, and then go from there and talk about how your teaching style helped me learn a lot this semester.

My favorite paragraph from my research paper on Gender-Based Violence Awareness 


     During the civil rights movement, sexual discrimination was formed. Since then sexual harassment has originated and designed to be seen as a separate form of crime from sexual discrimination. Sexual harassment is defined as, “uninvited and unwelcome verbal or physical behavior of a sexual nature especially by a person in authority toward a subordinate, as an employee or student” (Merriam-Webster). Women have continued to enter the workforce at increasing numbers within the last decade. Due to the high amount of women working in today’s society, sexual harassment has also grown tremendously. 

Favorite paragraph from my research paper!

The paleo diet consists of preferably organic fruits and vegetables, grass-fed beef, hormone and antibiotic-free meat, some nuts, and seeds. There are a few vegetables that should be avoided on the paleo diet. Potatoes and sweet potatoes contain a large amount of starch which turns into glucose in the body.  While glucose is necessary for the human metabolism, it should be ingested in moderation.  Other foods that should be eliminated are peanuts, legumes, and grains. Legumes, such as lentils, pinto beans, black beans, soy and peanuts, all contain small amounts of protein and large amounts of carbohydrates. This can cause a large glycemic response. Grains contain gluten and which causes inflammation and can lead to disease. Cropped foods, such as peanuts, grains, and rice, are stored in large masses which cause the crops to mold and toxins to develop.  This is the main cause of allergies.

Favorite Paragraph Steph Welsh

Everyone’s way of living should not be an open book, we as human beings should have privacy, our lives should not be in the news, or in court. Being a family is difficult enough, and struggling to become a married couple only adds to the stress of everyday life. “A year ago when the State allowing businesses to deny service to gays and lesbians” (Billeaud). For basic civil rights for gays should one day be the thing of the past. “Some believe the White House would likely welcome a court ruling allowing the federal government to disregard state bans on same-sex marriage. I suspect that the Obama administration would not be in any way disappointed if they lose this lawsuit (Eidelson)”. Laws can’t define sexual orientation; There are still so many Businesses that denies homosexuals service, and I believe that is awful disrespectful, and discriminating of human rights.
