    1. Another tip is to read the paper out loud. That’s one way to see ho

      Reading out loud can really help. When I had to study for a presentation I would read what I had to say out loud. It sounded great on screen and in my head, but it sounded off once said out loud. I will try this for this lesson.

    2. Writing is a process of discovery, and you don’t always produce your best stuff when you first get started. So revision is a chance for you to look critically at what you have written to see

      This is the best reason to revise your work. You wont always have your best work at first. I have gone and looked back at work I have done a while ago and thought it could ave been done much better. At the time I thought that it was really good, but looking back at it I see that it was quite weak.

    3. pe.

      I had sometimes got the two confused, proofreading and revising. I now realize that proofreading is not the hard part. It involves fixing the little things like spellchecking. Revising is the hard part as it is rethinking your paper.

    1. Jefferson assured the Baptists that "I contemplate with sovereign reverence that act of the whole American people which declared that their legislature should 'make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof,' thus building a wall of separation between Church & State."  In 1985, then-Justice William Rehnquist wrote that "unfortunately the Establishment Clause has been expressly freighted with Jefferson's misleading metaphor for nearly 40 years."

      Jefferson was sating that the government would stay out the business of churches.

    2. church and state are not separate?  

      I definitely think that there is separation of church and state in our government but that does not stop people from having unconscious bias.

    1. six anti-evolution

      I do not think that mos of these are anti-evolution. most are bill stating the teacher should help with analyzing and critiquing scientific theories. That does not mean that they are anti-creationism.

    2. State S.B. 114

      I like this one. People should be given the right to believe whatever they want to. This bill allows teacher to show the strengths and weaknesses in the theories.

    1. That religious values are supposed to be at the center of everything in our country.

      I do not think that religion should be at the center of everything, but I would not like to see it be completely gone.

    2. hat's what democracy is all about.

      Well the U.S. is not a direct democracy. We are a representative democracy. Just because more people want something does not mean that is what will happen. You can look back as early as last year when Hillary Clinton won the popular vote, but Donald Trump became president because he won more electoral votes. So just because their are more Christians in the U.S. does not mean that they can change the whole country.

    1. that we will witness the time when AIDS is cured and cancer is defeated; when the Middle East will find peace and Africa grain, and the Cubs win the World Series

      Oh how I wish this was foreshadowing. The cubs did go on to in the World Series, and hey maybe next is the cure of cancer.

    1. Refseek

      Finally a site that can give me information. I had my hopes down after my first few engines could not give me any info but this is a good site. I would come back and use this engine again.

    1. Related sites

      This function seems like it can be extremely useful like if you are doing a research page and you need a little more information you could use this tool to help find more pages like the ones you where on before.
