How do you approach writing?

I approach writing in different ways for different types of pieces. For example, when I'm writing a argumentative essay, I first of all write all the things may know about the prompt beforehand, then create a plan on how I'm going to write the paper on one document. After that I come up with three topics to talk about in my introduction. Then I look at sources on the internet to back and extend my claims so I can find substance to my next 3 paragraphs. When I get to my conclusion, I restate my introduction and reinforce points I made in it, trying my best not to introduce new information or make the paragraph longer than it needs to. If I have any information from outside sources in my essay, I create a bibliography at the end of it.

Presentations of Countries in Asia

Today we did presentations of our group projects about countries in Asia. The countries presented were Thailand, North Korea, China, South Korea, the Philippines, and Japan. Some of the things in the presentations I knew already and some of the information presented was new to me. For example I was not aware that Thailand had temples or tribal villages. Some things I learned while doing our presentation on North Korea was that 3 languages most commonly spoken there are Korean, Chinese, and Russian, but most of the population is proficient in Korean.

Microwave Broke

Today was the last day to complete missing assignments. I spent the class period working on my final projects and missing assignments as per usual. After the class period was over we went to 3rd period and then lunch. I brought my crab cakes too school and they were really good. Though the taste seemed a bit off/faded out because they have been sitting in the fridge for almost 2(?) weeks because I forgot about them. It's a good thing that I brought food to school to warm up because I won't be eating much at home since our microwave almost caught on fire/stopped working right this morning. I hope it can get fixed soon.

Free Day

Today was a free day due to the fact Mr. Rease was absent and he did not assign any classwork. We did not finish the worksheet from yesterday so today we were supposed to answer questions about the movie. But since that did not happen, I just spent my class time working on assignments from Geometry and APUSH. Some of my classmates spent the period watching this movie called "Pitch Perfect" on the big screen. We left the period without the bell again for some reason. I wonder why the bell stopped working. I think we were told why but I forgot.
