Do Now 12/15

            Knowing that we can change the world makes me wanna help to change it. Our world isn't such a good place, but that is the one thing I can't change. Our generation can help with the little things that gradually make this world a better place. Such as recycling, stop littering, and many more things. I believe everyone should help and if everyone does then it can make a huge change.

Blog Post Assessment

        

       I have many favorite restaurants. But, my number one favorite restaurant is Chipotle. If I could eat there everyday I so would. I love the food there and specially how it tastes.

       Chipotle I go to is located 40 New Jersey 17, East Rutherford, NJ. This is a chain restaurant. The food they serve include; burritos, burrito bowls, tacos, salads, and if you want chips and guacamole. The style is Mexican food, some of the food can be alittle spicy but not that bad. Their menu isn't that long but its long in options. The ingredients include black or brown beans, chicken, steak, barbacoa, carnitas, vegetables, white or brown rice, salsas, corn, cheese, guacamole, sour cream, and lettuce.

      Everything from chipotle is generally really good. I love almost all the dishes there. The owner's name is Steve Ells. He opened Chipotle as a way to make money to fund his fine-dining restaurant. Chipotle soon became popular and so did he.

                                     

      Chipotle is my favorite restaurant out there. I love almost everything about it. I love the way the food tastes and I love the set up of the restaurant. If Chipotle closed down I would probably go to Panera. Panera is also one of my favorites. The food is great there also, but it is the total opposite of Chipotle. Panera is more like soups, mac and cheeses, sandwiches, and bread.

             If I was a teacher I would teach how to live in the real life. The class would be called The Next Chapter. The things I would teach are the things you will need to know for the rest of their lives. I would teach them how to make bills/checks, how to make more money, how to survive in college, and many more things. Every junior and senior will have this class on Wednesdays and Thursdays.
             This would be a good class and will prepare the upcoming adults to a better life. This class would be very helpful. We would have all sorts of fun projects to do that can really help. I know if i was a Junior or a Senior I would really want this class because without it I would have no clue how to do somethings that adults do.

Wiki

                A class Wiki would be good in is my English class. In English we read a lot of books and take notes and I think it would be so much easier if we would use wiki.  I think it would make Spanish more organized by putting all of out notes on it so that we never lose them. Also it would be easier for finals, tests, and midterms by making study guides on wiki.  The benefits are that it would be easier and more organized. I never have used wiki before, but I learned about it in Web 2.0

                  We had a 4 day weekend last week. I did many things and really enjoyed not being at school. On Thursday, I hung out with my friends on the high school field. On Friday, I went to Ihop and went to the football game. It was really cold outside so we froze. On Saturday, I went to the field, a football game in Carlstadt, and then back to the field. On Sunday, I went to the senior football game in Heights, they made it to the Super Bowl. I had an extra day out of school because I didn't go in Monday, I was sick.

 For me a presentation is something you present to the class or in front of people.  If you interact with your audience, you will most likely get them to listen more. There are many ways that you can get the audiences attention. Most people present everyday

Editorial 9-29-14

             A editorial is a newspaper article written by or on behalf of an editor that gives an opinion on a topical issue.Teachers tell us that Wikipedia is not a good source to use for facts or important work. Most teachers tell the students not to use Wikipedia as a source on work. They do that because Wikipedia is edited by many different people and something the facts can be incorrect. After reading this article, It showed me that even though somethings can be wrong it is ok to be wrong and it is ok to be right. Everyone has their own perspective on research.

Web 2.0: Multimedia Blog Posting Sem 2_Pre

                       This year I'm taking Spanish 1 and my teach is Mrs. Daniele. But, she likes us to call her Senora Daniele. When Spanish 1 first started I thought that we would start learning all these new words and learn to speak alittle Spanish. I thought we would learn the easy part right from the beginning. I thought this class was gonna be really hard since I do not speak Spanish. Check out Mrs. Daniele's Website for more Information.
                       From the beginning of the school year to now I already have learned so much. We learned about all the Spanish speaking countries and there capitals, how to ask to leave the room (go to the bathroom,nurse, etc.), and even what our names are in Spanish. Now we are learning on the Spanish alphabet we have received a packet and we have to search for Spanish nouns that start with a specific letter. The work we do I think is really fun because you get to write in a different language. I think that Mrs. Daniele's grading policy is very fair. An Average of a 65 is necessary to pass. Our average consists of Quizzes,Tests, Projects, Homework, and Binder checks. It also consists of behavior, participation, reinforcement, and attendance. The Final grade for the year is calculated on four marking period grades and examinations. For more on the grading policy Click Here .
                        During this class I like to do many things. I like to do small projects. This week we had a small project which was a packet that we had to color and print pictures. She gave the packet to us on Monday and it is due Friday. I like field trips but I am not sure if we go on any. Technology is used by using computers to find some facts and to search up what some words mean.

Reproduce the copyrighted work; 2. Display the copyrighted work publicly; 3. Prepare derivative works based on the copyrighted work; 4.Distribute copies of the copyrighted work to the public.
Another thing I learned that books, websites, and almost everything you can make can be copyrighted.
