 This quote makes me think about working hard all your life and making a change in the person you are. Gandhi was a very smart man who achieved a lot in his life. He is not saying that you have to go out and do the things he did put to make a change in your life that will effect the world. In addition, he is an inspiration to anyone who wants to fight for what they believe in.  

I have goals that I set for myself and I believe if I work hard in my life time they will come true. Some of my goals included making enough money so that my children don't have to see me struggle with bills or have to worry. Sometimes things happen in your life that make you want to do better and go far so my children can me proud of me. Gandhi is a true inspiration for all generations to come,he shows us what change can do.  

Post Assessment

My favorite restaurant is KFC located in Hasbrouck Heights on route 17. My mother has bin working there ever since 9/11 and I grew up knowing all the managers. The workers there are very friendly and always have a smile on there faces. KFC sells fried chicken, grilled chicken, and etc. There specialty is fried chicken and there biscuits are a star favorit.

I have many favorite dishes from there very long menu. First of all, I love there chicken tenders, pop corn chicken and there original chicken breasts or legs. My favorite sides are mashed potatoes and mac in cheese. KFC has a wide verity when it comes to there menu and its hard picking a favorite dish. I have to say that there chicken littles are my favorite when it comes to lunch.


KFC is my favorite place to go an site down and eat a meal. In addition, its a good take out place if you dont want to site and just want to go home and eat. I can eat chicken all the time and not get tired of it because there is so many different types of options to choose from. Plus they have healthy chooses like there grilled chicken witch is delicious and not many calories.If you are worried about what you eat Dr Oz approves that KFC is healthy.

 If anything would ever happen to KFC my next place I would go to is Wendys . As much as I love chicken, burgers are one of my other favorites Hopefully nothing ever happens that they have to close because my mother works there.

I would add a hole class on Italian culture. Teaching children about the way of Italy and about there customs. Students will be mandatory to go to Italy with there teacher and class. To get a better understanding of what they are learning. Instead of having midterms for our class we will go to italy and the students will show there understanding of the couture and feel of Italy. Along with the class comes a lot of fun interactive projects teaching and showing how Italy evolved into what it is today. This class will teach students that they should experiment with outside cultures besides there own.

 An editorial is a article written online about a certain subject. It can cover anything from Dog breeds to about a country. Normally your teachers assign you to do a paper on a subject related to what ever you are learning in class to get some back round knowledge. Most people who go straight to Wikipedia because thats the first site they see. Well when your searching for reliable sources do not go to the first site you see.

Normally your teachers tell you not to use Wikipedia because you can go in and change the information. Did you know anyone can create and account on there and have accesses to change anything they want and make it false. So when doing a paper for school you want factual information and not fake information people make up. Its easy to just scroll threw and read some information if you are on your own and need a general over view of something but when it comes to school Wikipedia is a no no.

Teachers normally do not let us use wikipedia as a source of information. Due to the fact that people can go in a change it. I personally dont like Wikipedia because from grade school till now we have bin warred to stay off when doing research. Teachers have drilled in our heads that Wikipedia is not a reliable souse of information. So I just avoid using it when it comes to school work.  

After reading this article my thoughts have not changed on Wikipedia.I still feel that information on there is wrong unless people go in and lock that information so that its factual and true. I also feel this way because teachers have drilled in two many times to stay of it, So its became a bad habit to not believe whats one Wikipedia.  I could understand why the article is saying that Wikipedia is more of just an online encyclopedia but just online.

        Italian Two 

My Italian teacher name is Teresa Ianncco and she is a very inspirational person. I have taken italian one last year and know Mrs I for about 1 year and I enjoy taking her class. I know she has a daughter and a son who are both older than 20. Her family came from italy and she was born in italy. This is my second year taking italian and i love it so far. Over the summer Mrs I went to italy for 3 weeks and spent 5 weeks in france. 

I expected to learn new things in Italian like more vocabulary and more about the culture of Italy. In addition I expected to go over lessons from last year to refresh our memory. We are currently working on unit 4 vocabulary. This Thursday is our first vocabulary test on 20 words. We are expected to know how to spell the word in Italian and know the meaning of the word in english. 

Mrs I grading policy is 25% tests, 15% quizzes, 25% Formal assessments, 15%       

informal assessments, 1o% homework, and 10% classwork. I love Mrs I Italian class because you feel like your at home when your in her class room. She is a very heart warming teacher and she reminds me of my grandfather who also grew up in italy like Mrs I. I love the fact that we get to go to the Opera and go to New york and make pasta at a restorat. We use a website called senteri that has a online textbook that we use and she is able to post HW online so we don't have to bring home any thing. She also uses the online text book in class and projects it on her projector.

Educational Technology and Copyright La

• I learned that if you make something you have right to copyright it and clam it yours. 
• Copyright means rights of ownership to the federal government 
• In addition I learned that when a student or teacher draws a picture or writes a paper you don't have to fill out paper work bc its already copyrighted 
• I believe that students should be able to use pictures from the internet and not have to fill out paper work. 
• Also I feel whats the point of having things copyrighted.
