Revision Process

I wanted my revision process to be simple but yet display our theme (coming of age) in a way that others can relate. I first started of by thinking what problems people (preferably teens) have when growing up. The problem that I came up with was people trying to discover themselves and end up being what they are not. The advice that I would give to them is to just be themselves or "show your true colors" which is the title I gave my new blog. I then changed my background to a colorful graffiti collage to match my title. I also changed the layout and and the font making it more inviting and colorful.

When I archived my blog, I made sure to include all of my recent essays and projects that we had to do. I then linked them and and find matching pictures that would match my post so people would know what to expect when clicking on it. For example, I had to do KC3 essay on recycling so I decided to look for the recycling sign with the three green arrows so people would know what to expect.

Unwritten

I am a book.
Many will read my story,

but only a few will understand it
People will judge me by my cover
but my cover is not what makes me stand out
it's my pages that matter.
I am open to ideas to write in my book,
but I shall not make the words of others mold my whole story.
Only the words that I write matter to me.
Nobody shall predict my future
because the rest is still unwritten
and there is still a lot more to write

Unwritten

I am a personal unwritten book. 

I will open myself

but, only to the people I trust.

people will judge me by my cover

but my cover is not what makes me stand out 

it's my pages that matter.

I am open to ideas to write in my book.

The words of others is not what molds up my story.

Only the words that i write matter to me.

Nobody shall predict my future

because the rest is still unwritten

and there is still a lot more to write

KC3 essay final draft

     Sustaining the natural beauty of hawaii has its own price. To keep it that way it is, people in the islands need to create less waste and recycle them more often. Recycling has its benefits for the islands environment, Hawaii's economy,and also saves the people energy.

     Creating less waste for Hawaii's environment can benefit Hawaii in many ways. aluminum cans that have been recycled can go back on the store shelf's in around 60 days. rather then making new cans out of aluminum, this would be a better alternative. Also, recycling aluminum cans is much quicker then making new ones. Aluminum cans have no limit to the amount of times it can be recycled. this makes it much easier to recycle then to make new ones. this also helps Hawaii's economy which is another reason to recycle.

     Recycling has a big positive effects on the economy of Hawaii. consumers get their 5 cents when they return their containers to a redemption center. This is a good way for people to get some pocket money to use. it also is motivates more people into recycling. Recycling offers jobs to people such as materials sorters, dispatchers, truck drivers, brokers, sales representatives, process engineers, chemist, and etc. If there isn't a lot of jobs for Hawaii to offer, then this would be a good way for people to get jobs. Also if more people were to get these jobs it would make recycling faster and that would save Hawaii energy which is another reason to recycle. 

     People who recycle are saving themselves energy. recycling requires 95% less energy then not recycling. If you were to not recycle then a lot of energy would go to waste. If everyone were to recycle then alot of energy would be saved. Recycling one aluminum can saves enough energy to keep 100-watt bulb burning for nearly four hours. knowing this, if everyone were to recycle then their would be no such thing as wasting energy. This can save people a lot of money from there energy bill

        Overall keeping the environment clean, improve Hawaii's economy, saving the people energy is just a few benefits recycling offers Hawaii. if people recycle rather then creating more waste then we will be able to restore hawaii"s natural beauty. Sustaining it is just one thing we have to do in order to keep it the way it is.
