A web quest is an online mission for people to learn things on their own by using the internet. Three very important key parts are the introduction, the task, and the process. One necessary component to a web quest is the introduction. The introduction gives some basic and background knowledge on the subject that is being explored. It can explain what leads up to the topic of interest and can give examples as well. The task is another important part of a web quest. The task explains what is being researched. It explains the objective of the certain web quest and may also give resources. The process is the last really big component in a web quest. The process includes steps to complete the web quest and explains what is supposed to be accomplished. Each step is a guideline that explains what is supposed to be done. During the process is when the main learning takes place. The main pieces of a web quest are the introduction, the task, and the process. || || My New Year’s resolution is to not say "sorry" as much. The reasons why I made this my resolution is because I say "sorry" too much, it is starting to lose its meaning to me, and I want to feel better about myself. I say "sorry" when it isn't necessary. I say it when it isn’t a big deal, like apologizing for barely brushing someone’s elbow. The thing that I am saying I’m sorry about isn’t even my fault, like when a friend tells me bad news. The word “sorry” doesn't mean anything to me any more. It seems to be just a word that I throw around all of the time. I say it too often, making it seem like I don’t really mean it and it isn’t special. Apologizing often and for the wrong reasons lowers my self esteem. Saying sorry all the time makes me feel like I am causing lots of problems, when I don’t, I am just trying to be polite. I want to let myself know that I am a good person, so I don’t need to apologize when the reasons are not important. Saying the word “sorry” has become a bad habit for me. It also annoys my family and friends a lot.

My teacher, Mr. A, is most like the character, Moses, for the following reasons. He tells stories all day, he lets us look forward to ECS, and hardly everybody believes his far fetched tales. Mr. A tells stories all day, just like Moses did about Sugar Candy Mountain. Both of them just sit around all day, telling stories. He lets us look forward to ECS. Moses was allowed to stay because he let the animals look forward to something after they died. Not a lot of people believe his stories. Mr. A includes so much detail, it is sometimes hard to tell the difference between truth and fiction. || || Monsters Inc. It is a sad and sweet kid movie. I liked ho the monsters are friendly and some don't like to scare. I think that is funny and i really like it. It has to be one of my favorite Disney movie. it has a monster in it called Suly and one that has one eyeball named Mike? There are all different types of monsters, some with many eyes. There is an inc. that gets energy with screams from children and it is the monsters' jobs to scare them by coming out of their closets. That show has a lot of things that I didn't talk about. Sully is kind to uno girl that sully has to terrify. His pal isn't wanting to fix crisis of girl who is not in thy world, but in Sully's and world. Sully's world is full of big, small, hairy, slimy, scary, things that || **Monsters Inc. ** || 11 (12 or 13) sentence paragragph Which animal(s) in Animal Farm are you the most similar to and why or how? Give specific examples from your life and animal farm too ( tanks liz!) The animals I am like are Boxer, Clover, and the pigs. I am like Boxer because I am a hard worker. At school, I try to go above and beyond what is expected. Boxer does the same thing, waking up early and staying up late to get work done. I am like Clover because even though I work hard like Boxer, I still question things. At school, and I see that the teacher gave us a wrong answer, I usually speak up. Sometimes I am wrong or I don't speak up either. Clover questioned the fact that the pigs were sleeping in beds and remembered that there had to be a law against it. She checked with Muriel (who could read) and it said they can't sleep in beds with sheets, but she still felt uneasy. I am like the pigs because I am intellectually advanced. I get a 4.0 in school and I can read and write. The pigs were the only animals that were able to read and write, and they were considered the smartest. The pigs, that aren't Napoleon or Snowball, realized that they were being tricked by Napoleon, but they were too afraid of the dogs. I am a mixture of many animals from Animal Farm, not one specific animal.
 * You use the same sentences a lot and the same words, maybe go back in and delete them and change the words. A way to specify your resolution would be to only say it when its your fault, and to use different words. I have the same problem too! ** || [[image:sorry.JPG]] ||

Even though Thanksgiving is this weekend, there are still a few things that I am not grateful for.__ I really don’t like cloud days without any rain because they are gloomy. The gloom makes me sleepy and crabby, and I am hardly ever productive. The good thing about gloomy days is when I am productive I can get a lot done around the house. Otherwise, it gets to be my lazy day and I can have fun. I dislike having bookwork as homework. It isn’t hard, it is just boring and there is too much of it. The good thing about having homework is it helps me remember the things we learn during class. I also despise Social Studies in the regular class room (don't tell my teacher). All we do is read from the textbook, do the homework, take notes, and repeat. Then we have tests after the chapter is completed. But it’s good for me to be in that class because I can learn more about history so I won’t repeat it and so I can have more knowledge. I also think some of the subjects are interesting, it is just the way it is taught that makes it boring. Sometimes the things that I am not grateful for are good at the same time. || media type="custom" key="11457358" || Format for 11 sent paragraph Topic sent- main idea Concrete Detail- example Commentary Detail-explanation Commentary Detail- explanation Concrete Detail- example Commentary Detail-explanation Commentary Detail- explanation Concrete Detail- example Commentary Detail-explanation Commentary Detail- explanation Conclusion sentence-
