Power Of One summative.

My English Power of One summative. Creating a visual, use your own sentence stating your issue, 15 images to state your sentence, 5 quotes to represent. and 5 of your sources. I made a college for my visual. 
*Racism isn't a problem to be pushed away, it needs to be gone for good.* 
Power Of One quotes:
"You can't go feeding hate on the past, it's not natural."
"You can't hide from me Kaffir. Your day will come and it will be as black as your bloody soul. I promise that."- Sgt Bowmann
"The loneliness birds flew into my heart and laid large stone eggs. My whole body ached with sadness."
"Damn Belief. I believe in Africa. I believe in my people. I want to in the future. Now what do you believe in PK? Tell me, What?"
"It was very complicated, beautiful ladies with skin like honey, who were not as good as us and black men who were white men underneath and were as good as us. The world was a complicated place where people were concerned."

Alison Fleming- her job.

Alisons career choice sounds awesome! I love Twitter and Facebook, and it's cool to actually be working just doing that. The only con is that there can be very long days(10-20 hours apparently) and 4 am phone calls. I get tired easily and probably wouldn't be able to do that or have motivation to... Anyways, being a social media worker I can see be really tough as a start, but I'd probably do the job if I applied. I looks really neat, and an interesting career choice!

Penalties for handing work in late in classes

What do you think of penalties for handing work in late in classes?

 In my own opinion on this is , the 5% penalty is fair, but the percentage should have a limit of 15% overall. Students have much work to do in such little time. Most of the students give up on the class cause it's hard to get everything done at once, they ditch the class, and fail. Some are sick, or on vacation. I, Myself, is getting stressed over how much work I need to do this semester. The fact after a week of not handing in, you get a zero. That isn't fair to the students, most want to do well in the class, get caught up and pass.But they can't with so many zeros. Really, I think the 15% overall marks lost is very fair, and should be considered.
