Today we plugged along on the research essay. No students in the early class had an introduction to submit. Many students are still doing the research paper. I am going to change the percentages on the final grade, giving the Obama, SE research essay and final portfolio more weight. Pidd is great, but if you pass all the Pidd essays and cannot reflect this skill in your work then you will not pass the class. I suggest those students who are rushing through Pidd, and/or skipping the grammar exercises and the other work in the Auxiliary section like pp. 302-312 (MLA), Titles (313-318), Quotation marks, in-text citations, pp. 319-325.
Once again, for homework start with pages 326-329, 347-366. We completed the paraphrasing sections between these two boundaries at the beginning of the semester. If you haven't done so, then work through the entire section 326-366.
Before the recess this Spring, I assigned the Be Verb Section 6 in Pidd. There is a handout, Questions and Answers for the Be-Verb Essay with Paraphrasing.
This is old homework. Start Possessives. We will write this essay in class on Wednesday, May 6. Bring your book, Stewart Pidd Hates English, paper and a pen. You only have 50 minutes to complete it. If you have questions on this chapter, ask me in advance on Tuesday, May 5.
Post your introductions and conclusions in the Research essay section below. Don't forget to comment on another student's essay with concrete suggestions on what works and where you need more information.

Marijuana has been around since 6000 BC when cannabis seeds were used for food in china. Later on doctors would use it for women during their time of the month, to take away cramping, bloating, headaches etc. Marijuana plants are one of the oldest psychoactive plants known to humanity. Cannabis has become one of the most widespread and diversified of plants. It grows as weed a cultivated plant all over the world in a variety of climates and soils. Cannabis preparations have been used as remedies for thousands of years and the active ingredients of the hemp plant can be put to use in a multitude of medical conditions. Marijuana was used for medical purposes, cancer, and glaucoma reasons. Fast forward to 2009 it is illegal to have any type of this substance in your possession unless you have medical reasons to do so. Marijuana is the oldest drug on earth, it is not harmful, it cures pain, and it grows from mother earth, but yet it’s illegal. Because Marijuana is a harmless plant, that helps people with illnesses, and helps people to focus, marijuana should be legal to those who are responsible and have educated themselves on the subject.
Based on the fact that was covered in this paper we can see that when Marijuana is used correctly it is helpful to all those who choose to participate. I can not seem to grasp my mind around the fact that marijuana is illegal. I believe that marijuana should be illegal to persons under that age of 21, and people that violate the bi-laws regarding marijuana should not be allowed to use any of it substance.
