Do Now 9/29



  1.     An editorial is an article in a news paper or other periodical presenting the opinion of the publisher, editor, and editors. 
  2.  Many of my teachers always tend to tell me Wikipedia is a false search engine, because many or the articles are edited by random people and give the wrong information. Many kids tend to edit articles and play around with websites . It's a website that shouldn't be trusted. 
  3. Since I entered 5th grade, I was never allowed to use Wiki. Many of my teachers didn't believe it was a good search engine and that if we got false information we would learn the information and end up failing a research paper or an essay. 
  4. After the article, my thoughts haven't changed at all. Wikipedia wont be able to change every search with the right information and I just don't trust it. It would be safer to just use a different website.
  5. Wikipedia has been around for a while and is very popular, but just to be safe, I wouldn't try getting information off the website. It's way too risky.

               The new IOS 8 protects your privacy from the reach of the police. All your text messages, phone calls, and also pictures. Even if the police come with a police warrant, they still wont be able to get in. If you sync your files onto a laptop or a computer than that's the only way the police can see your files. Also They can still see your emails since it not only connected to the phone.  The IOS 8 shields only that's in your phone, but police and the law are very concerned and not happy. The IOS 8 can effect crime scenes, and proof of any kind. The government heard about this and are fighting against apple.

  World History
        Miss. Garvin is a World History teacher that has been here for many years. She's not only a history teacher, but also she head of the student council. She's fun and outgoing and doesn't make you do a lot of notes. All you have to do is go on her website and the power-point is right there! Miss. Garvin is a little hard sometimes about her rules. Your only allowed two passes a month to go to the restroom. Also when you hand in your homework, she checks EVERYTHING ! Every right answer and every wrong .If your absent on a test day, you have a week to make it up. If your absent on a day you had homework, it must be done by the next day you come into class. If your absent on a day a projects due, you will get a day late on your project unless you have a doctor's note or a note from a parent or  guardian, 
     The first day I walked in, I was excepting to learn many difficult subjects and history that I knew I wouldn't understand. But now it's pretty easy and actually one of favorite classes. So far, we've been learning about the Renaissance. Shown below is what its all about. 
    In May, our class is going to a trip to the 9/11 memorial. That's one reason its one of my favorite classes.Miss.Garvin tried to get the Board to let us go last year, but it never happened.  So this year , the board accepted for us to go. I just can't wait!
  In our class, Miss.Garvin uses the smart board and go through a powerpoint. The students don't have to copy it, but we just go through it with the teacher. Our homework is usually on her website and we just have to go on it and print out or homework or write it out.  This is here website.
