9/24

Today in class we went over the test we took last week, i think it was an easy and i should have gotten an A on i accidentally got confuzed when Mr. Schick said that we should use wikipedia as a source but not a number 1 source. Anouther question i got wrong is "when was the "message to garcia" writen" It was accually writen in March 1899. The last thing I got wrong is that I got wrong was that the ancient greeks called an idiot. They call people that don't want to participate in politics and anything else involving the community.

Today in class we talked about how English is the international language of business which I think is really cool because it is the language that I speak which means you can also communicate with lots of other people without having to learn a new language. Another thing that we talked about is how in Maryland we might change the minimum wage from $7 per hour and change the minimum wage to be $10 per hour which would effect us in a major way.This could turn out to be a bad and good thing for us, it would be a good thing because we would all start getting a lot more money for our hour but it would also effect us in a bad way because now they would lay off or fire a lot of workers to make up for all the money being lost. A third thing we talked about is how people from other countries are starting to take our jobs because they have started working for a lot less money then we do, and that is why a lot of or clothes are from other countries as well. These things I found really interested during our discussion in class today.

3 facts from the video

Today in class we watched a video on cool and interesting facts about the internet and the population of the world, these facts are weird or just  interesting to me. The first fact is that soon China will become the number one English speaking country in the world, this is weird to me because China's first language is Chinese and now China is going to have more people speaking English as a second language than England, Canada, and the USA which speaks those languages as their main language there. The second fact that interest me is the fact about how teachers prepare us for jobs that don't exist yet in order for us to solve problems that haven't happened yet and to use technology that hasn't been invented yet. I think that's cool that our parents and teachers are counting on us to save the world and use more advanced technology and were suppose to count on our kids to save the world and use more advanced technology in the future. The third fact which I found pretty weird was that during a 4 minutes 58 sec video  694,000 songs were downloaded illegally.that is also pretty scary because songs usually cost about $1.99 online so in about 5 minutest music artist have lost $1,381,060 all together and $145,177,027,200 a year which is a lot of money to spend considering the big named artist their are. Well these are some pretty cool weird and scary facts that I found out watching the video

5 point plan to being successful in highschool

     -Be organized
Being organized is an important part to being successful because you don't want to have your work mixed in with work from other classes
     -Don't miss homework
We have homework everyday we have class and if you don't do it you would totally fail.
     -Always find make up work
If you get your make up work in on time you won't get in trouble or 50% on everything and fail.
     -Keep in touch with the teacher
If you can keep contact with the teacher it is easy to make up things and get help with any questions you have about notes and work and test.
     -Pay attention and participate in class
If you pay attention it makes taking notes, studying, and test taking easier.

If you follow these ways to being successful you will always pass and get good grades
