Before entering December

This week was a strange one. First lesson of the week was going quite well. We were suppose to read Whitty's text and the stories that we wrote about cybercheating. Till then it was okay. Mr O.'Regan then distrubeted some charts that we should fill about those stories. Everyone was split into groups, and we had really fun while filling that chart. Then the horror movie started for me. Mr. O'Regan distrubeted the essays we wrote. I was expecting a good grade, because I spent lots of effort and Mr.O'regan commented well on my first draft. However when I got my essay back I saw that it wasn't graded. I got a 0. At first I couldn't understand it and with that angryness I started to cry. I felt that there is nothing that I can do, so it is the best thing for me to leave this lesson and get a F automatically. I don' know how but my self-esteem came back and I asked Mr.O'regan what changed his mind. My first draft was quite good, but now I got a zero. He told me that I made 3 mistakes that he corrected in the first draft. I know he was right but it disturbed me a lot. I spent hours to correct each mistake how come it could be like that. Then we realized that I printed the wrong one. Mr.O'Regan looked at my first draft and saw how I corrected my each mistake with a pen, so he gave me a one more chance. Whatever I wrote it again got 86 out of hundred. It is not a wonderful grade but after writing third time it is unbelievable that Mr. O'Regan was that generous.

Second lesson was quite good too. Mr.O'Regan talked about Ben Ze'ev's text. He compared and contrast some points on Whitty's and Ben Ze'ev's texts. He talked about good manners, moral,immoral and amoral things. Which I think we learned a lot. We are suppose to writ our second essay's first draft for Wednesday, so I should start working hard...
See you
