Multimedia Post- My English Teacher

    My  English  II  teacher,  Ms. Hunter,  teaches  three  classes.  English  I,  English  II,  and  English  I  Honors.  She   has  a  very  tall  room,  it's  also  a  very  hot  one,  and  could  be  a  very  cold  one  in  the  Winter.  She  has  a  lot  of  books,  and  a  lot  of  literary  posters.  It's  her  birthday  just  about  every  day.  Her  e-mail  is  vhunter@wood-ridgeschools.org,  and  her  g-mail  is  misshunterwrhs@gmail.com.

    This  year  I  expect  to  expand  my  understanding  of  literary  terms  and  gain  a  greater  appreciation  for  literature.  I  would  also  like  to  read  some  more  poetry,  some  Shakespeare,  maybe  Edgar  Allan  Poe.  Her  grading  policy  is  40%  formal  assessments,  40%  performance  based  assessments,  10%  homework,  10%  informal  assessments.

     Some  interesting  things  about  her  class  is  the  projects  we  get  and  the  books  we  read.  There's  not  a  lot  of  fun  going  on  but  we  get  the  job  done.  I'll  probably  use  web  sites  like  turnitin  for  some  projects.  To  round  it  all  out,  it's  apparently  her  birthday  everyday.

 

   

Apple back slaps Microsoft

  To  complement  the  arrival  of  new  merchandise  on  the  market,  apple  has  released  it's  five  iWork  productivity  apps  for  use  on  new  iPhones  and  iPads.  Only  very  recently  had  Microsoft  joined  in  on  the  world  of  mobile  productivity  having  just  released  it's Office  apps  for  iPhone  in  June.  The  catch  was  that  a  subscription  to  Office  365  was  needed  and  it  was  unavailable  on  tablets.  As  oppose  to  Apple  who  has  the  best  selling  mobile  productivity  apps  on  any  platform,  which  is  now  free  with  the  previous  price  being  over  $40.  The  release  of  new  merchandise  by  Apple  was  really  going  to  hit  other  companies  hard,  but  this  year,  it  gave  Microsoft  a  technological  dilemma.

9/11 today

After  9/11  happened  the  news  had  actually  taken  a  while  before  it  reached  my  legal  guardians,  like  at  least  two  days.  This  may  sound  odd  but  when  you  don't  have  proper  cable  and  live  3,000  miles  away  it  doesn't  hit  you  as  hard.  Though  it  happened  twelve  years  ago,  airport  security  has  become  more  and  more  tight  over  the  years.  I  remember  my  dad  being  stopped  by  a  security  dog  and  had  his  bags  searched  only  to  find  the  dog  wanted  a  sandwich  that  was  in  his  bag.  Anyway,  it's  hard  to  imagine  how  it  could  even  affect  your  lifestyle  at  home  because,  like  I  said,  you  live  3,000  miles  away  and  there  was  no  ethnic  groups  to  really  discriminate  towards.  Anyway,  it  happened,  it's  you  do  feel  some  sadness  when  comes  to  your  head,  but  you  might  as  well  just  move  on.
