Tyricee Pelzer- Helium

1.I reviewed the prompt on how Jason Kidd will benefit the Los Angoles Lakers. 2. I learned that having jason Kidd on the lakers will make it much easier for kobe Bryant to play. Jason Kidd would be a great leader making other teammates better with his passing and rebound game. 3. The author used great writing prompt by first showing to great improvement the lakers would have with Jason Kidd first. Then came back with the true facts about the lakers without Kidd. 4. not many mistakes in this article just should have talked about the injury of the laker time more. 5. I would approach the prompt like since Jason Kidd is so good, why hasn't his team won a title and Kobe did.

The Helium that I chose to do is on “Preschool teachers requirements: Enthusiasm.” I agree with preschoolers having an enthusiastic curiosity about their environment and the energy to explore it. Therefore, the teacher has to keep up with them. If a teacher is eager she will greet them at the door and speak to children personally, calling each child by their name. By doing this it is more effective than a blanket greeting of “Good morning, everyone!” Preschool teachers should be eager to share new learning experiences with their students. A teacher with enthusiasm also gives a whole-hearted effort to every aspect of the preschool learning environment. An earnest teacher should be earnest in helping children learn and mature under his/her watch care. A passionate teacher with enthusiasm is also passionate. Enthusiasm is a necessary quality for teachers working with preschoolers. This writer Ms. Nan Keltie was the number one writing because first she was the only one to write and article, and secondly she has great points and she goes into detail with each point. I believe she should have got some preschool teachers views and opinions, but over-all I think her essay is great. She was also very organized with her thoughts, which made it easier to understand and read. If I were writing a response essay for this prompt, I would go and get actual preschool teachers views.

Nicole Nixon- Helium - Lacrosse

I reviewed the "how to become a professional lacrosse player" articles. I learned peoples views on how to become a professional player. The first was well detailed stating you need to know the game present time, its history, what equiptment is needed, etc. The others were not as detailed and were not as to the point. They were more saying that you needed to be a good player to make it to the professional level. If i were writing this prompt i would detail it like the first article but i would also add more information on how to play the game and some moves that would make you a better player.

Derk Bouwman Helium

I reviewed a prompt about facebook. It was about reasons why you should defriend facebook friends. I taught it was interesting because a lot of people, just like me, use this network site to keep in contact their friends. But a lot of people have many ''friends'' they haven’t spoken too for years and who are not actually friends in real life. These people can still see your personal information. I learnt in this prompt a few reasons why you should remove facebook friends. I think the best rated article stays really close to the topic. Less rated go a little bit off topic and are unclear. If I would write a response to this essay I would write about other reasons why you should defriend people because I think that not all reason are given at this point.

icey Patterson-Helium- dating with depression

The prompt that i recieved was dating with depression. While reading this article i learned that dating with depression is counterproductive. When you are in a relationship everybody have there ups and downs, not all relationship that you are in is not always going to be perfect. Also before you start dating make sure that all your family problems and other issues you are having is good. The reason why is because you don't want other problems to miss up your relationship or make things harder. i think this is a great article for those who are going through hard times dating. You should read this article because it gives lots of information, and important facts about dating. The other two articles i read i really did not get a lot of information from them because they did not have enough information for me to understand what they were talking about. So thats why i think the article i read was good lots of information and good facts. You should read this if you are having problems dating.

Nemethy Relationships Helium 2

http://www.helium.com/debates/165310-long-term-relationship-or-short-term-relationship/side_by_side

One person each gives their opinion on whether long term or short term relationships are better.
The person that got the best score for the long term relationships states that everyone should have a long term relationship. We are only human and crave that attention. It is harder than short term. And he stated if you can pass through the curve balls life throws at you will feel rewarded.
My personal opinion is yes long term relationships can be hard. I have been in a long term relationship for 3 years now and it dose feel rewarding to know that, that person is still with you through all the good and bad.
The person who had the best score for the short term relationships states that people constantly want something new. That after awhile people start to dislike each other.He stated women are like car their good when their brand new but get worse through out the years.
My personal opinion on this was that anyone can fall in love and it seems this guy had a really bad relationship. It feels like hes trying to show everyone that relationships can't last without fighting. But that's just how humans are.
The person who wrote an article for long term with the lowest scoring article. Seems to repeat herself in what she says. She states that you can't be happy with out being in a long term relationship.
My opinion she needs to give more of her opinion and less repetitive information.
