Students have a deadline of Tuesday evening to submit their articles. Expect some to start coming in later on the weekend. Use this post to comment on their articles and discuss the potential for publication of their submissions. They have a 200-word maximum word count.
NOTE: Just a clarification. Please post your comments to student articles here rather than at the English students' blogs. Actually, I had no idea you could post to their blog (Stacey did and that was a surprise). I've moved Stacey's comment back here. The class will go over their pieces in detail on Thursday and feedback will be delivered to the English classes on Friday.

STACEY'S COMMENT
Hi Yang. My name is Stacey and I'm a Writing 12 student. I really liked your piece, especially what your husband said to you. I can easily imagine my own husband saying the same thing. I'm not sure if we're supposed to edit or not but I thought I would anyway. Not all, but some of it.
Canada is a multi-cultural country. People of many different religious denominations reside here. My story revolves around something that happened at my work place. I was taking a break in the staff room one day when a co-worker asked me if I had any religion.
That is as far as I'll go for now. At this time I feel that a new paragraph should be started or possibly you could start the new paragraph at I was taking a break in the staff room. Thanks so much for contributing.
Comment on "Religious better? Non-religious better?"
What a phoney bastard! I hate single-minded religious people! They are morons! Why can’t they understand that everyone has different opinions and beliefs?
If you don’t believe God, you go to hell? She said that? She is evil. That’s mean. She deliberately tried to hurt people’s feeling—or, she was just insensitive and ignorant, which is translated to a dumb $#%&.
I mean, if there is a God, he should be like, Oh poor lambs, I don’t care if you believe me or not, I still love you and take are of you, shouldn’t he? Not like, if you don’t, you go to hell. That sounds more like a politician chrissake.
Those religious fanatics scare me. They remind me of the disaster of 9-11. How can they be so blind? How can they NOT think about other people? I don’t need their stinking religion. Shave it in their God-almighty asses.
(Oops, pardon my French!)
What a secret! Russ.
It seems philosophy, too.
Anyway, I agree with that positive thinking produces positive result most of the time.
It should be published on the "Books We Like" category. Hey buddy! you forget to name the book and the author.
Great eye Olivia.
Tatyana.
I found your story very compelling. I want more dirt though. What happened when the Canadian Government found out? Did the companies that supplied the building of these submarines get rich? Are these people or their families filthy rich now? I think a little gossip or intrigue would be interesting. Thanks for contributing.
Note that, on Thursday, you'll be making an initial assessment on whether a piece should be published.
I made it clear to the classes that not every piece would go into the paper. My primary advice was "Don't be boring"!

Don't bug you with such a prejudiced religious incitation. We all have a right of religion, however it doesn't mean we have the right to blame other religions or people without a religion. If there is a God, he is there to help you not to damn in hell. God will be there when you suffer and will help you to lean against. I think that is the whole point of existance of God.
I enjoyed reading all articles. Among their articles, the recipe, "How To Make A Cheesecake," by Yi(how can I pronounce her name?) is almost ready to publish, I felt.
Although some of the sentence need polishing, I'm very interested in Cynthia's article, "Let Go or Not," since I've seen my Asian friends and relatives struggling this difficulty. The discription shows the culture difference between Westerne and her country. It also explains the reality that children will be independant from their parents someday.
Yes, I enjoyed them, too. It was like peeking everyone’s mind a bit. Nice.
I nodded at a lady standing at the class and the mom who felt lonely without friends. The “submarine” and “okay” article are interesting, too. And I really liked how the “mice” story begins. Mistaken moon cake is funny. . .
It’s hard to pick one!
Are you guys (ELA 12) studying The Catcher in the Rye?!
That is the first paperback I bought here to study English. I underlined the words I didn’t know and checked them in a dictionary, and it took me months to finish. I read it in Japanese as a teenager but couldn’t understand it fully back then. Understanding North American culture is a big part. I learned “killing me” from this book (and many others).
I like: Michelle’s “Learning from mice”, Phoebe’s “A long wait for the bloom” and Young In Park’s “Terrible experience”
I found interesting Valentina’s “ O.K.” and Tatiana’s “Submarine”
I support musical theme -Ruthz’ “Romantic movements by Schumann”(although, in my opinion, it needs some work)
