What is an infographic? If you don't know, go look it up. Read about it and then in your own words tell me what an infographic is. What do infographics do? How do they work? What makes a really good infographic?
Find an example of a really cool infographic on the web and place it on your blog.
An infographic is a display of information that informs people about the topic that people highly care about. Infographics usually contain facts, statistics, charts, graphs, etc. They are useful for really getting your word out to the public without having to repeatedly tell people about your topic. What makes an amazing infographic are facts and data. On my infographic, my main topic will talk about endangered species.

Tell me about your Homecoming weekend! If you didn't participate in the Homecoming festivities, what did you do? Share pics
This weekend I did a lot of fun things. On Friday, I got stay at school until 6:30 doing homework and waiting for my mom to come get me. I skipped the game and got a grand Arby's dinner. At Arby's, I got a delicious brisket sandwich with amazing curly fries and to top it all of I got an awesome medium jamocha shake. The next day I got to go get a new bike and got to sleep. I absolutely loved getting a new bike and I was very much enjoying being able to ride it for the remaining weekend. When it reached night time I worked on my AP Human Geography homework and learned more about what population growth is. The last day of this weekend I helped out with Eli Kahns eagle scout project. I did this all day until it was done and then I went home and worked on my science article homework. This was my fun filled weekend.

Imagine Mr. Bacon has asked you to suggest one way of improving Blue Valley High School to make it a better place for students. Think about the changes that are needed at your school. Pick one change you feel would really make a difference and explain what it is and why you'd make the change.
If Mr. Bacon asked me to help improve the school I would recommend that he should improve the time school starts on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday. I would tell him that he should start school at 8:30 and get out at 3:30. I like this time because it allows me to have a brain when school starts. I think this could help the school because then people can be more awake when class starts. This would help improve grades and make people truly focus on the subject that they need to learn without yawning. This is what I think are school could to do to improve.

What is email? When do you use email in your own personal life? List reasons and ways that people use email. What do you know about "email etiquette"?
An e-mail is a form of communication used by everyone to stay in touch. E-mails are very secure and people use them in order to get privacy with other people. E-mails often include adds, coupons, bills, information on projects, and notifications. E-mail etiquette usually consists of words like "Dear Person" and " Sincerely person." In the email, people usually have an etiquette ending like "Thank you for your time." This is my opinion of what a e-mail is.

Now that you've been in Emerging Technology for several weeks... what do you think? Do you think the web tools (Drive, Evernote, Bubbl, etc.) are helpful to you? Do you think they will be helpful throughout high school or even college? Explain.
Emerging technology is a great class that I actually took last year at Lakewood Middle School. I think that emerging technology's is a great class to take to learn more about researching and global issues. I re-took it because I needed a credit for a technology class to graduate. I want to take web design if I can one year because I love programming. The web tools you have showed us are very nice because they make researching a topic for a class a whole lot easier. This will help me in high school get better grades. I am excited to be in this class.

Do you enjoy writing? When do you enjoy it? What kind of writing do you enjoy? Why do you think the ability to write is so important no matter what kind of writing it is? Give an example that you enjoyed writing or hated writing. Why?
Yes, I enjoy writing because it gives me a way to express myself. I like to write at school and at home because those are the only times I am able to write. I like to write stories and songs about anything in life. Writing is significantly important because without it people could not explore themselves and there imagination. One example, is when I had to write a bibliography about someone I care for. I enjoyed doing it because it gave me a chance to understand more about the person I picked.

Reflect on this quote. Give an example of a time in your life that this might have been the case.
This quote means that if you don't spend the time to give what you want to the teachers than your destined to fail. This means that if you want A grades than you have to commit the time in order to excel. If you don't spend the time than you are not going to make A grades. One time this was a case for me was when in 7th grade I failed a science test because I didn't study. Amount of time is equal to your grade on the project.

What did you do this weekend? Share pictures if you have them!
This weekend was amazing because I got to go to my Grandpa's lake cabin that's outside Union, Nebraska. The reason I went up there was because of a rumor an Aurora Borealis would be there that night. The Aurora didn't appear but I still got to stay at the lake cabin. On Saturday, I got to golf cart with my little sister. We stopped at the park and caught some frogs. I also got to go boating with my mom, sister, and Grandpa Zaydeh. We hit some waves and it was awesome! That Saturday night, I drove my mom and sister back home. On Sunday, I got to go to Hebrew school and learned more about Israel. The rest of the day we got pizza at Sam's and Chicken Wings from Tanners. It was delicious! Later that night, I studied Spanish vocab for the Tuesday, Spanish test. This was my fun filled weekend!

What is the importance of research? Why do you need to know how to research? What have you learned in high school about researching topics and finding quality resources? Have you had a helpful teacher that has taught you to research? Explain
Research is when you find out more about a topic like endangered species.Research is very important because it helps us to find more out topics. We need research because without it we would be clueless about the world. What I know about research is that you should always cite your sources. In high school, I have learned that you always need multiple articles to guarantee you know what your talking about. The more articles you have the better prepared you are with the assignment. For example, science fair needs a lot of research in order to know what you are performing scientifically. The most helpful teachers for research are my ELA teachers because they teach me everything about research I know. This is why research is very important.

Kids these days are so immature because of there gizmos and gadgets no one gives a crud about. Back in my day, I would be outside on my bike but electronics have corrupted the new generations. For peat sake's, the day I get my kid of a phone is the day I meet a angel. Those gizmos and gadgets ain't nothing but trouble. I know that there are to many gadgets like those I phones and I pads. I'm surprised that we still have war with nuclear missiles everywhere.I hope i'm dead by the time those things go of on my house. Why has this society been so STUPID! We are eons behind future medicine because of these dumb gizmos and gadgets. Oh and also I am sick of seeing my kid stare at a dumb box with that "enjoyment" they crave. They are frying there brains! So, yes I very much dislike the future.

Tell me about the global issue you selected. What do you already know about the issue? What are you looking forward to learning about it? Explain.
The research topic that I am doing is Endangered Species. I love animals because they are so fascinating to know about. I know that this issue affects everything by disturbing the circle of life. I also know that humans cause a lot of factors for animal endangerment like hunting and trapping for precious animal hide. I am looking forward to learning more about this topic and learning prevention methods to solve this global issue. I know that I will personally enjoy learning more about animals and what ones are close to extinction. I know that I will do my best and learn a lot!

What did you do this weekend? Share pictures if you have them!
This weekend was awesome because I got to go to Camp Bartle for an Order of the Arrow induction. This induction was amazing because I was able to be on Ceremonial team and help out with the pre-ordeal ceremonies. I got to play Nutiket "the guard" in this pre-ordeal ceremony. In this ceremony, my troop watched me perform for them. Then, on Saturday I got to go to Ceremonial team practice. It was fun and I saw a lot of cool practice performances made by Ceremonial Team. When the afternoon rolled around Ordeal ceremonies were preformed and I got to sash my good friend Amit (I also helped Dance Team). On Sunday, I got to go to Iconium and got a delicious grape Nehi float. I went home and did my homework and got Chinese food. Afterward, I went to bed because I was tired.

If I was to make my own grade card then I would get a A in Boy Scouts. I would get an A in Real Estate and an A on memorization. I also would get an A in Babysitting and and A in Biking. I love biking, so I would get an A on that and an A on Gaming. I will of course get an A on Organization and on Grammar. This is every subject I would get an A in.

Yesterday I asked your to "think differently" and push yourself to be uncommon with your PSA project using Google Slides. Why do you think I asked you to do that? What is the point? Why not just use bullets and headers? Explain.
I think you asked us to be different on this presentation because you want to see what we are made of. I mean that you want to see us for who we really are. What you want to see is who are the people who are more creative in this class. This PSA project will show you who you think will do the best in the class. The point of being different is standing out from yours peers and doing something that is truly unique. You want us to do are best and excel in this class and every other class in school.You don't want bullets and headers because there LAME! You want spice in the PSA. You don't want anything normal because normal doesn't excel.

Tell me all about your Labor Day weekend. What did you do? Include photos!
On Labor Day weekend, I went to Omaha, Nebraska. I went with my mom and sister and got to drive all the way to Omaha from Kansas. It was really fun but while driving up it rained a lot and I had to focus on the road and make sure I wasn't exceeding the speed limit. When we got to Omaha it was late so we went to my Aunt Jill's house and slept. In the morning, we went to go see my Grandma Tania and Grandpa Terry. They were very pleased to see us and gave us many hugs and kisses. My family and I stayed their all day and we had a great lunch from a Thai restaurant. Afterwards, we went back to Aunt Jill's house and slept more. The next day, we went to go see my Great Grandma Louis and my Uncle Steve. We had a amazing brunch and my sister got a bear stuffed animal. Then, we went to go say are goodbyes to Grandma Tania and Grandpa Terry and they ordered me a early birthday present that will arrive in the mail soon. We left and went to my Grandpa Zaydeh's lake cabin and slept. The last day we boated and fished at the Lake cabin and ate delicious pulled pork. Finally, it was time to go so my mom, sister, and I packed up the car and left. I got to drive back but it rained again. When we got home, I did my homework and went to bed. This was my fun Labor Day weekend.
