Annotation idea

This week in class we have been annotating a chunk of the book we've been reading for the past 2weeks. I honestly feel so bored but the annotating because it stops us from continuing with the book. I would rather read the book and take a quiz on it every day. Annotating it takes forever and not only that I feel like it's a waist of time. I know it's preparing us form textual evidence during our Socratic seminar but I think if we have to do annotating it should be based on what we think as individuals rather than as a group. I think by us sharing ideas it will affect the Socratic seminar because then a lot of people won't talk but they would rather listen and just use words like I agree and they can't be punished for it because we all as a class have the same annotations and the same ideas, but maybe it's just me .

Teenagers and technology

Many teenagers in our society use technology. Technology has its good and bad that can be brought up to our attention. I look at technology as a resource, is something that helps me whether it's in school, basketball, and even just using technology on my spare time. I wouldn't indicate the fact that Technology distract me more than it helps me. Because whatever I choose to focus on I will remain focused I wouldn't consider myself getting caught up in being distracted by technology. A device computer or game system should not have an effect on your schoolwork. That's something I know for sure isn't going to affect me. When someone loses focus it's based on the interest. If they fail to realize how important get an education is over Facebook Instagram etc then it will take maturity to leave them in the right direction. Why should anyone feel that they can get distracted by a device or gadget it's just somethingit's just something that does not make sense to me.
