Winter

Winter is the coldest season of the year. In this season, snow and blizzard come down from the sky and drop to the ground. At night, the temperature drops into the freezing point for example 28 32, etc. Also in the coldest season, people bundle when it's cold outside with coats and hoodies. People can talk about what goes on when school closes.

In the winter, people can celebrate Christmas on the 25th of December. On Christmas, good children can get Christmas gifts. However, children who act bad will get cold rocks. You have to accept it. That is how winter is described.

Personal Goal; Finding a Job

My personal goal is to find a job. I have already created a résumé including experience and skills. After creating the résumé, I signed up for Careerbuilder for a profile and attached the résumé as a doc. I can search and apply for hundreds of jobs in the area. That is what I can do

For the next step, I am going to practice job interview skills. I need to be calm and cool when I practice.  
I am going to look for some job questions on the Internet. I will write those job questions on my notebook. Dressing up for an interview makes me look nice and neat.

The steps  I will take for my goal is to practice interview questions. I will sit down and practice questions with someone in the classroom. Maybe, I will practice the questions at home. I will print out the questions and read them to myself those are the steps I will take.

College Fair Essay

College fair in the gymnasium was the best. At the fair, I greeted new people and asked them what majors do colleges have. I told the people my majors I will study is business and computer engineering. I wrote the information on a little card and what year I'm graduating. That was the first part.

I visited a few tables like UPenn, Drexel, Temple, Widener, Arcadia and Howard University. They all had what I was looking and what I want to study. Arcadia and Howard are outside of the city and into different states. I also looked at Penn State to see if I wanted to go that college. That was my second part.

I will go again to the college fair next year. Next year when I'm a senior, I will start applying to different colleges. When I apply to colleges, I will pick the most out of probably 10. I will hopefully get accepted into that college. That is what I will do.

The Summer is Coming

I can't believe the summer is coming! I am going to have an interview with the program at Upward Bound. I will or I might get a summer job and get $246 dollars a week. If I have to stay out in this hot summer, I am going to find a house or a building that has an air conditioner to cool off in. I might go on vacation and on the boardwalk and eat plenty of food. On the Fourth of July, I am going to watch the parade on television. The city lights are going to turn red, white and blue for the holiday. I will probably see the fireworks at the end of the parade. After, I am going to relax and think about what I am going to do. That is what I am going to do in the summer.

My Memorial Day

My memorial day was a lot exciting! On Saturday, I went to Walmart and McDonalds on a sunny day. At the Mcdonalds in Walmart, I ate a beautiful sausage, egg and cheese mcgriddles. Next, we went to buy some food and charcoal at Walmart. Then, we went to the Home Depot. At the Home Depot, we bought big bags of dirt and plants for home. That is what I did on Saturday.

Let me tell you what I did on Sunday. On Sunday, I went to my grandma's house for a barbecue dinner. For a barbecue dinner, I only ate brown hot dogs and black hamburgers on grandma's white plate. It was the best dinner I have ever had. Then, I went home and got on my compact computer to see if bad weather was coming to our area. That is what I did on Sunday.

Here is what I did Yesterday on Memorial Day. On Memorial Day, I really ate my leftovers from Sunday. I heated up the leftovers at my grandma's white microwave. Then, I went home and got ready for school the next day. That is what I did Yesterday.

About College

Here are the things to talk about college. In college, you have to join harder classes and pass in the semester. You have to pay a lot of money for your college lets about $2,000 or $4,000 dollars for each season. You have to go through a job training course and get paid so you can have bills to pay. At college, you have to stay at campus for a few weeks and sleep. Also, you have to meet new friends and meet new teachers that you join.

The college I might go to is Temple University. At Temple, you will learn a lot of things. You will about math, reading, writing and technical skills. In Temple you might get a report card after the semester is over. In your senior and final year, you get a master's or medical degree at college. Or, you take the PSSA like the 11th graders are. That is what I have to say about college.

The thing About being Yourself

Here are six ways that you are being yourself. First, you are a quite talented person with a lot of interests and you have great unique stuff. Second, you are a bright person with straight A's in different classes which you have taken and paid for. Third, you are a hard worker with no problems and you persevere and calm down you get the hard work done fast. Fourth, you always say you have friends in school and out of school which you socialize with. Fifth, you don't let anybody destroy your future and your life because that is bullying and ruining another person's life. And Sixth, be the best person in this school, at home and when your out in public places. That is what I gotta say about yourself

The Last Confession

The book I am reading about is The Last Confession. The Last Confession book is about an innocent priest convicted in the killing of three people in the church. About it, a detective wants to find the real killer who killed 3 in the church. The gunman calls himself the Angel of Death. And, the priest is arrested in his own church.

In the story book, the South Philadelphia detective meets a North Philadelphia police detective which he does not like at all. The detective has an assignment to do before he retires after 31 years of homicide.

Michael Coletti's dreams would not let forget the crime that a priest has not done. He would talk about his family and his friends. That is what he would talk about.

Here is where I got the book from. I got the Last confession story from the assembly two weeks ago. This book is an amazing story and I give it 5 stars. On the front of the book, the picture looks like our neighborhood in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. This book is the best book ever.

The Autism Expo

The autism expo was great. I saw some little kids singing Its a small world. At the expo, I had got some things for me to look at and get some things. For example, there were some college applications, programs and pens. At the fair they had pencils and cups and stress balls. We were talking to a few people and parents who were in the expo. The autism expo was fantastic! The people that were at the expo were working with the programs for the summer. The people were giving us stuff that was free. They had food and snacks at the expo. That is how I explained about the expo

The Bing Photo

On a bing photo, I see a picture of a nighttime or morning sky. I see 2 churches in the photo that represents Jesus. In the photo, I see a man or a horse that looks like a statue. I also see green lights flashing with the traffic running. That is what I see in the photo.

On the website bing.com, I think that the photo represents the city of London. In the photo, I think the statue represents the plaza of the palace. I think the photo up on the website looks like a nighttime sky. Also, I think the photo on the website looks like a cloudy night or cloudy morning. That is what the photo represents.

In the 18th or 19th century U.S generals began to fight in the plaza. After the battle, the leaders had to rename the plaza to honor the general after he died. The people had to built the statue of the general with stone. The statue in the picture looks very nice and represents him. That statue's color is any kind of color.

In the photo, I see a photo of a bank building that is old. The bank was built in the middle ages or the old ages. In the building years ago, the early settlers have had a trading center here of the old Mississippi. Today, the bank building that was built in the 1700's was called Place D'Armes. The place was a dedicated parkland.

In the bing photo, I see a big church that is in the background. On the church, I see a clock that shows what time it is in New Orealeans, LA that looks like London, England. I see the wooden cross that is on top of the church. I also see red doors that are on the church building that looks like a palace. That is what I see in the photo.

The Hunger Games paragraph

This is a summary about The Hunger Games. What I liked about the Hunger Games is Katniss volunteering for Prim in the Hunger Games. I liked the part where Katniss stood up for Prim when she volunteered in the games. I liked the part where Effie excitedly cheers for Katniss in the middle of the book. I liked the part where everyone put three fingers on their lips and blowing a kiss to Katniss. Those were the parts I liked in the story.

What I did not love about the Hunger Games part is Katniss pushing Peeta in the shattered glass. I did not like the part where Haymitch yelled at Katniss for pushing Peeta. I did not like the fact where Haymitch shoved Katniss into the wall saying its just a game. I did not also liked the part where Katniss shoved him back because of his breath and wine. Those are the parts I did not like.

What I did not like about the Hunger Games is the boy from district 1 stabbing Rue with a spear. I did not like the part where Rue had blood coming from her body. I did not like the part where Katniss was crying and had tears in her eyes. I also did not like the part where Rue had died from a spear being in her stomach. That is why I did not like the parts of the Hunger Games.

What I had liked about the Hunger Games is Cinna trying to make Katniss look beautiful for the interview. I had really like that Cinna had to put all of that glimmer on the dress. I really liked the part where the dress was on fire and surprised everyone. I had liked the part in the Hunger Games that Katniss had on the dress for the interview because she wants to look neat. I also like the part where Cinna had done her hair in the games.

What I loved in the Hunger Games is Katniss and Peeta staying together on television in the Hunger Games. I loved that Katniss and Peeta won the games of District 12. The third thing I loved about the Hunger Games is a hovercraft letting down two ladders for Katniss and Peeta to climb on. I also loved about the part of the book is Katniss and Peeta going to the Hospital to get their cuts healed. That is what I liked about the Hunger Games part.

In the end of the book, I felt really happy that Katniss saw all of the mentors again. I felt happy that Katniss saw all of friends in the Training Center. I felt happy that Katniss and Peeta sat in the victors seat after they won the games. I also felt happy that Katniss and Peeta were crowned since the host cut the crown into half. I really felt happy that in the end of the Hunger Games everything settled.

The Insect

I am writing a blog about the insect. The insect is totally and for instance green all around its body.  The insect has a green antenna on top of its head that goes up and sideways. Also, the insect has a green wings that look like leaves however it can't fly. The green creature's eyes looks like a frog and it closes like it. The green insect was found on a Central American isthmus by animal hunters. Finally, the green insect has leaves in front it on the website. This is my story on my insect.

My Holidays

My holiday last week was fantastic! On Christmas Eve, I called my dad and asked him if he was coming. Then, I went to my grandma's house and watched the Eagles game. Next, I went home and got on my phone to check my facebook page. After that, I went to bed and fell asleep at something at 11:50pm. That is what I did on Christmas Eve.

On Christmas Day, I was glad to see my father and he gave me $60.00 dollars. After my dad came, I went to my grandma's and ate Christmas dinner. I ate turkey, cabbage, macaroni and cheese and stuffing. That was the best dinner I ever had. That is what I did on Christmas Day.

My week last week was okay. I checked my emails on my phone. I washed my face and body in my home bathroom. Next, at the end of the week, I ate pizza and buffalo wings. I had a good week last week.

On New Year's Eve, I had helped set up the table for my mom. Then, I had to do juice boxes and soda boxes. Next, I watched the new year's with Ryan Seacrest on ABC. Finally, I said happy new year's when the ball dropped down. That was my new year's in 2011.

My new year's resolution is getting good grades. My other new year's resolution is going to the Upward Bound program. This year, I am going to get all a's and b's like I did last year. This year, I am going to get better every single day by working. That is my new year's resolution.

Reflection on This Week

My week was truly amazing! On Monday, I did some work in the grammar book. Then, I worked with William to write a whole paragraph on Black Boy on page 104. Next, on the computer, I had to change all of my sentences for my webzine blog. Later, I rewrote the Black boy paragraph as a quiz and typed it up and emailed it to Ms. Mckeone. That was my day on Monday.

On Tuesday, I had written my warm up on the paper. Then, Ms. Amber and I worked through my assignments. Also, I had published my blog webzine however I added a link to magazine website. After, I really did nothing the rest of the day. Next, I wrote my homework on the paper. That was my day on Tuesday.

On Wednesday, when Ms. McKeone was not here, we had a substitute teacher. Our substitute teacher was named Mrs. Capuni. Ms. Evans gave us the do now on the board. I did my 3 quizzes on the computer in the back of the room. Later in the day I did my free time on the new computer. That is what I did on Wednesday

Yesterday, I did a number game with my classmates. Then, I took my mail to the nurse. Later, I  played hockey in the gym with my other friends. After, I went on the computer and did my personal stuff like checking my gmail and yahoo. That is what I did Yesterday.

Creating Our Webzine

www.wix.com/shauniecole/africanamericanmagazine

I went on the computer and did my wireframe. I had to organize all of the 5 box pages. I also put the logo represents the website and the menu bar on each page. I added the home page and it would be my first page and it would be my first webzine page. That was my wireframe charts.

On my flowchart, I did the boxes on where I was going to put them. I copied and pasted the boxes from the menu organized. Then, I added text in my upcoming, home, songs, featured and about page. I changed some text in the box to make it even better. I printed the flowchart to my wireframes I have been working on. Everyone will see my flowchart and give feedback on it. 

I had searched for a logo on the website. My logo was the African American kids dancing. I looked for that logo image on Google images. In conclusion, I copied and pasted the image on a Word Document with my one sentence. Finally, I also printed that one out with the wireframe and flowchart.

I had began creating my website on wix.com. On wix.com, I had uploaded images of African American people on my home and featured page. I also had music on songs page that were soul and hip hop. On my upcoming page, I wrote a sentence but did not add a video to it. On my featured page I had added a few pictures of the African American artists. Then, I showed everyone my webzine that I made.

I did a presentation on my wix website. I made everyone see the African American artists. I also showed everyone the music I added on my songs page. I told my audience I have a video I was going to upload on my upcoming page. After I did my presentation, my peers and teacher gave me feedback for my website.

I went on my wix to change some things. On the Featured, I added text about the African American artists. I also added some text next to the celebrities on the home page. I moved the about page on the second page next to my home. That was the change on the website.

I did a final presantation on my website. My peers told me I should put text above pictures. They also told me I should change the background and make it brighter so everyone can see. I also was told I should name the artists song name on my songs page. I got a C on my final presentation.

The reason why I should choose African American magazine because all people who are african americans should be engaged to my website. All African Americans want to listen to songs and learn about new artists. African Americans should think the website it is interesting because they also want to see the african americans celebs. African Americans also want to know what is coming out in movies and shows. That is the reason why I chose African American magazine

The Chinese Buffet.

My news subject is on the Chinese buffet. There are all kinds of chopsticks. Chopsticks are hard for me to get. Chinese people always use chopsticks instead of forks to eat. If I was a chopstick, it would say hey sir come get me.

There are kinds of food at the buffet. The kinds of foods are at the buffet are chicken wings, chicken nuggets, rice and sushi. My favorite food back in the day was chicken wings, chicken nuggets and rice. That food was the best dinner at the restaraunt. I could go back at the restaraunt and just dine.

In the restaraunt, the walls have those dragons on it. The dragons represent the Country of China. The color of the dragons on the walls would be red. I like dragon symbols because they are just shiny. That is my story on dragons.

There are kinds of sweets in Chinese buffet. My favorite sweets back then was brownies and ice cream. Those two desserts make me feel like I'm in Sweetland. Everybody wants to say mmm... that was the best dessert in the restaraunt. The dessert would say in the end see you later sweetie.

How Was Your Weekend?

My weekend was great. On Saturday, I was checking my yahoo mail on my Palm phone. I went to a block party and had fun. Then at night, I was playing my Mario Kart DS on my Nintendo Ds system that was in my red bag. On Sunday, I ate hot dogs and drank juice the whole day. I watch the Phillies game against the New York mets and they lost from five to nine. I did not watch animated shows because their was racing on Fox. Yesterday morning, I called my dad and Vincent on the phone after 10. I watched Action News at 4pm with Brian Taff, Shirleen Allicott, Adam Joseph and Alicia Viteralli. Then at night, I went to bed and put the air conditioner on to get ready for school the next day.
