Reading Genres 8/30 (Emails, Text Messages, and Magazines)

        When reading school and non-school related genres there is a difference because sometimes one can be informal while the other is formal. For example, reading emails, text messages, and magazines can all be read differently. A person wouldn't read an email from their professor as they would read a text message from a friends. An email from a professor would be more professional and important. When friends usually text one another they use slang words like 'l.o.l' and they often shorten words like that to 'tht'. Also, emails tend to be more grammatically correct. When reading an magazine, I find myself being more relaxed because the magazine usually has something that interested me. I think that there is always i different type of mood when your doing different things. Sometimes one might not want to email their professor but have to.

Picuture Activity 8/22

Dear Classmate,              

Hey, how’s it going? Enclosed with this letter is a picture of me and some friends on Prom Night and I hope you enjoy looking at it. Prom was actually one of the best nights of my life and those people in the picture had a lot to with that. Every time I look at this picture it always puts a smile on my face. I think it puts a smile on my face because when I look at it I see my friends and get a flashback of that night. Moving away for college was hard because I left behind my friends and family, but by looking at this picture I know that they aren’t too far away.

Now, I know you’re probably wondering, “Who are these people?”  If you look at the picture from left to right, you will see me (Rosetta), Savannah, Aisha, Ernyse, Porshia, and Keyonte. In the background there is a beautiful stand that I just loved. Each and every one of us is our own person and I guess that’s why we get along so well. I loved everyone’s dress and in Keynote’s case, vest attire. The different colors of the dresses all combined together, also made the picture beautiful.

I chose to show you this picture because this picture is very important to me. The best way to show the best night of my life and why is through this photo.  In this photo you can tell that everyone is very happy by looking at their smiles. As the quote says “A picture is worth a thousand words”, and I can honestly say that I agree. It’s important to have pictures like this around to show that there will always be better days to come. I keep a copy of this photo on my desk, so when I’m doing work I can just glance up at it. I hope you enjoyed the picture.

Sincerely,

Rosetta Taylor
