A web quest is a quest for knowledge and all the information that you find comes from websites on the internet. First you need to find the background information on your topic (the basics about what your learning about). We will be researching the war in Iraq. Our web quest will be a longer term web quest because it lasts for a little over week. A short term web quest would be one that only lasts a few days or maybe even just a few class periods. During a web quest you have to either come up with questions and answer them, or sometimes you will already have a set of questions that you need to answer. In this case I already have questions that I need to answer. You can find information by reading online news articles or even by looking at images. With the information that you find during the web quest you can write an essay. Our essay question is "//Truth is always the first casualty of history//", Assess how the media assists in shaping and influencing the way events are portrayed and recorded. Consider how a government or country's actions can be supported and 'legitimised' through the media. What impact do these perspectives have on historical accounts and sources for a particular event? This all I know about the web quest that we are doing. Also I would like to compliment Mr.A on his great sense of style and his nice hair. ||  || Mr. Redeski is most like Napoleon because he is nice at first and then he gets mean. When I first had Mr.Redeski as a teacher I liked him but after about a week that opinion changed. He also started changes the rules to suit himself. At the beginning of the year he said that if you have late work you can work on it in front of a core teacher and he won't mark points off of it. About a weed ago he said that if we turned in a project late it would be a zero. ||  || This program that I saw is about a family that adopts a high school boy who has no location to stay at. Thy boy is good at football. At first thy boy is not chatty around thy family but soon the boy starts to know thy family and starts to fit in with them. || || The character that I think I am most like is Mollie. When the going gets tough Mollie leaves the animals to fend for themselves. Like in the book during the battle of Cowshed Mollie left the other animals once someone had been shot. If I had been one of those animals I also would have probably gotten really scared and left like Mollie. Another reason I am like Mollie is because I don't like to do work. Mollie always had excuses on why she woke up late in the morning or why she didn't do her work. This is a little bit like me, I don't skip my work but sometimes if I forgot to do it and I come up with excuses on why I didn't. The last reason I am like Mollie is because if I were on the farm I would have done the same thing as Mollie and left to the other farm. Personally I think that Animal Farm would have been a terrible place to live, when Napoleon was running it it was the same as when farmer Jones was there. She liked it better at the neighboring farm so she left all her animal friends to go there, this is what I would have done. This is why I think that I am most like Mollie. Also Mr. Agamenoni, I think that you have a great sense of humor and your hair is cool. **__I liked it I think you did a really good job - Robert__** || || Even though Thanksgiving is this weekend, there are still some things I am not grateful for. One thing I'm not always thankful for is my sister, even though I should be. I should be more thankful for her because she always lets me borrow her clothes. Another reason I should be thankful for her is because she gives me great advice about hard situations in life. Another example of something I'm not always thankful for is school. Even though I have to wake up early in the morning I am thankful that we have school. Without it I would not have a good education, which means that I would not be able to get a good job when I get older. School also gives me a place to socialize so I'm not socially awkward. This is why I should be more thankful for my sister and school. || ||

 * 1/13/12- What is a web quest?
 * 1/3/12 My new year's resolutin
 * You need a space here **My new year's resolution is to do more random acts of kindness. I chose this because doing nice things for others is important. I know that it makes me feel good inside when other people do things that are kind for me and it makes me feel happy. Doing something nice for another person can turn their bad day into a good one. Random acts of kindness can be very simple to do they can be a simple "hi" or 'Hello" that would make someone feel better. Random acts of kindness are often not recognized but the recognition is not what is important. The important thing is that I know that I have made someones day better and just knowing that makes me feel good. You could say how many times a day or how often you will have random acts of kindness I like your ending. ||  ||
 * 12/21/11 My teacher Mr.Redeski is most like the character Napoleon
 * 12/20/11- the movie I like The blind Side i like this movie because it is so sweet it made me cry I like you generous the family is that takes in the orphan they give him so much and he doesn't take it for granted. I also like the movie because the boy grew up in a bad place with people who do bad things but he doesn't do anything bad, he stays out of trouble. Another reason why I like this movie is because the family that adopts the boy treat him like he is their own son and it's like he has been with the family his whole life.
