I just started school again and my teacher asked us to make a blog about, well what we were doing in her classroomand I wanted to start it with making a short reviews about the first two articles she asked us to do.

the first one I'm gonna review is dubbed 

The Internet Generation Prefers the Real World

and is about how kids nowadays prefer to play outside with their friends rather than stay indoors and play on the computer and how things that should be amazing is nonchalant nowadays.

the later one bears the name

The new literacy: Stanford study finds richness and complexity in students' writing

I liked this article it shows that people nowadays write a lot more than they used to do and tells us about Professor Andrea Lundsford and her study at Stanford university that took five years to complete.
Professor Lundsford asked 243 students to participate in her study and she got 189 responds to her request, the study revolved around that the students would send her their writings in class, but she got so much more, 15.000 pieces of writing in 11 languages was sent to her and barely 60 percent was made in their classroom, they sent her poets,  blogs, posts etc. etc. 

This is not the final form of this blog I'm probably going to change this blog a bit but for now this will do
