BLOCK 3/4 ONLY
Greetings! This week I want you to be thinking about effort. I am going to keep the topic broad so that you can write about this topic in any manner you see fit. When do you give ALL your effort to something? When do you not? Are there times when it is okay to not give 100% effort? Are there times when you wish you had given your all?
Use your post as a reflection on the topic, but please check your work before you submit it- everyone can see what you write, so you want it to reflect your best EFFORT!
Try for a few sentence minimum folks and as always post by Friday morning. Happy Blogging.
I give my best effort when its most needed, like on big project that counts for alot of points, or something that everyone is going to look at. I don't give my best, full effort when something isn't worth. I don't give my best effort for example by not writing nicely or by not checking spelling on my homework. I don't think from the top of my head that there are any times when you don't HAVE to give for full effort. There are times when I wish I had done a better job but not when I thought I shoud've put in all my life. An example is the life graph I wish I could've made it a little more colorful but nothing else.
ReplyDeletei give all my effort to something when i really want it or it is really important. i don't give all my effort when i am tired or don't really care. i think there is never a time not to give 100% effort even though everyone does! there have been many times where i wished i had given it my all.
ReplyDeleteThe times that I give all my effort to do things are probably when Big tests come up, or at the end of a cross-country race. This is important because tests affect your grade and thats why I use all my effort into doing them. The times I don't use all my effort are the unimportant things like watching T.V. or something like that. There are times when you don't need to give it your all, like during an unimportant sports game with your friends for fun. But it is still necessary to give all your effort into doing things most of the time. A time where I wish I had given it my all was when we were doing the life graph. I wish I would have looked over my paragraphs a bit more to make sure they were all good.

ReplyDeleteI think you should always use your best effort for everything. There is never a time that you should slack on anything. Even though im saying this i often make the mistake of not giving it my all. When we did our life graphs i put 100% into that and it turned out into a really good grade. Effort is very important in every way possible!
i give all my effort when i am playing soccer well all sports. i dont give all my effort when i do school work. i wish i would have given more effort last year in science and humanitys. I think that you dont have to put 100% intobeing lazy or cleaning your room.
ReplyDeleteI think the the time when I give my best at something is when I do something like test. The time when I dont do my best in effort is when I am doing something that is really that does not matter because I can learn from my mistakes so I know I well do beter next time.
ReplyDeleteI give all my effort when im playing football, you should always put forth all of your effort in everything you do. If you give all your effort you will have no regrets. There are times when i do not give all of my effort such as i giv more effort to playing football rather then in school i feel that is not a good thing because you need to have good grades to play football in high school and in collage therfore if you give all of your effort in school you can play football without having yo worry about are my grades good enough today so i can go to practice. - Noah Smith
ReplyDeletei give all my effort when i really want something and i dont give up until i either get it or succeed. i dont give all my effort when its something that doesnt really help me in any way like for ex. chatting with friends yes i love talking to them but i dont put an effort to type the correct words or use good grammer i just say what im thinking. that is also a time where it is ok to not put in 100% effort because you arent putting it up or turning it in only you and your friends are going to be seeing it. i wish i had put more effort into my life graph. i probably would have gotten a better grade.
ReplyDeleteI always give my most effort for school. I always get all my homework done and study hard for quizzes and i always have a panic attack when i don't get am A. I also give my most effort when it comes to practicing my trombone because i some day want to be a proffesional musician so i always practice at least 1 hour and a half each. The only time i don't always give my all is with like,stupid things like, folding laundry. The only times you don't really need to give it your all is with small, tedious tasks like....well, folding laundry. I have sometimes wished i had given more effort on projects 'cause i sometimes rush to get it done.-Wendy Fillman
ReplyDeleteI think that effort is something you have to apply to verything if you want to go far in it. I think I give the most effort in sports. They're my time to shine and so I give it my all, it's really paid off. I try to put effort into everything I do. I think to do well in what you want you have to give 100% effort in everything you do, no exceptions. I wish I had given my all for some school assignments and after some soccer games but that's not very often.

I give my best effort when something is important to me, from cantering a horse to getting an A on a test. I try to never slack on something because I know it will come back and bite me. I feel that I give it my all on the court, arena or at a desk. You should always give you all, 100%.
ReplyDeleteI usually give 100% effort when i am doing something very important that i am interested in. When it is something i have to do but don't want to do, i don't give a whole lot of effort. When we did our life graph, i didn't really put my best effort in. so i ended up with an ok grade. If I put 100% in, I would have gotten a way better grade.
ReplyDeleteBest effort to me is trying and work and not slacking or procrastinating. But working hard giving 110% to make somethong happen. I do not think there are times where you dont have to give effort. In soccer there is never a time that i dont try hard i choose to excell in effort to get better and work toward my goals. There are a few times where I would have liked to give a bit more effort to really make something happen or get a better grade. That is what effort is to me trying hard and never stopping.

i give all my effort when i feel like i want to. if i am tired, bored, or if it is just not important, i dont give all my effort. when i kmow something is important, i will definetly put in all my effort.
ReplyDeleteI give my best effort when I'm writing a fictional story because someday I hope to be a writer. I don't give my all when helping my sister practice Taekwondo because I don't want to hurt her. Sometimes its okay to give less than 100% because maybe thats all that you can give into a certain project.
ReplyDeleteI put all my effort into swim, school, and things I know i'll get something out of. So if my mom says I have to do something in order to go to a freinds, I jump up and do it immediatly so I will get to do what I want to. Also I always out all my effort into swim in the summer. I try my hardest to get A times and to get stronger and faster.

I put most of my effort into my music. Whether it's writing songs, playing trombone or bassguitar, even singing. I love music alot and it's something that explains me so any chance I get to be in choir or band, I do it! I give my all when it comes to practicing or just doodling songs down on a piece of paper. My effort to music ten-fold compared to anything else that I do. Music is a way to vent or cool off mostly, so when you get the chance to just explain how you feel about something or someone you want to put your best effort into that song or piece. You want to express your full emotion and express who you are. That's what I pretty much think that I give my 100% effort in.(:

I give all my effort to something when I feel I should. I dont give all my effort to something when I dont really care for what im doing. Yes I think there are times when it is okay to not give 100% effort, like when your playing around, and playing games outside of school. There has been times where I didn't give it my all but wish i did. Like one homework, tool kits, test, etc. Summer Barnhill
ReplyDeleteI always try my best when im hitting a new line on skis. I want to concentrate. If i dont i could fall when im dropping a cliff and hurt myself. Sometimes i dont always try hard when im just skiing around with my friends. That is what makes skiing so fun and chill. I always think you should give a hundred percent in football. You need to do this so no opputintiy is missed.
ReplyDeletei have most my effort put towards tests and sports activitys. i give it my all at a test because i dont want to fail. I give be best effort at sports activitys so i can win. but other times i dont give my effort at anything else. -jordan carlson
ReplyDeleteWell I think that I give my best effort when I am doing something that is really fun. As you can infer is that I don't give my best effort when I am doing something that boring. I do think that sometimes and only sometimes is it ok to not give 100% effort. There are many times when I wish I had given somthing 100% effort.
ReplyDeleteI give it my best when on my school work. School comes frist is the motto around our house. If you don't have your school work done you can't go play outside. I woudl give my middle effort in listening. I don't listen very well and I would rather talk but I know that I should listen so I will listen even more.I don't give my effort to anything that I don't want to do unless it is school work. SCHOOL COMES FIRST!!!

I would say I give most of my effort towards tests, highly graded projects, and volleyball games. Most of my effort are towards tests, because I don't want to lower down my grade, and same with my projects. During volleyball games, I give it my all because I don't want to let my team mates down. I don't give much effort to stuff when I'm tired, or if its not a big deal. There are many times that I wish I put in more effort, like a test I didn't do well on because I wasn't focused.

Well, I give full effort to something when something is really important like a test, project, or anything to do with geting me somewhere in life. Even thought it may look like I give full, I really do try. I do not give effort when i don't have to or I'm just too tired or lazy. It is only ok to not give full effort when you don't have to or there is no other way. Yes I will admit there are times I wish I gave full effort on something.

I almost all ways try to give my all like in rugby games or tests. I usally don't give 100% effort in rugby practices but I should.I wish I would have given my all when I am tired and my friends want to hang out and I don't talk very much I usally listen.
ReplyDeleteI always give all my effort when I do school projects or homework. I do not give my best effort when I am doing chores or when I have to do something my parents force me to do. I don't think you need to give one hundred percent effort when doing things that only effect you and that aren't related to your education. I think it is always important to give all my effort when things pertain to my education because without an education I won't go very far in life.

I try my best on a lot of things like when im at football practice or when we take a test or a quiz. I rarely don't give all my effort on things. There are times i wish i had given my all.
ReplyDeleteI always give my best effort when it comes to school work or something I know I have to put 100% effort into it. The only time I don't give my best effort into something is when I'm being told what to do by my parents, although if It's a serious matter then yes I will give my best effort. You don't have to give 100% in everything you do, the only time you would need to is when it's very important or if it involves school. There are many times I wish I had given my best effort into things.
