UnGoogleable Research – What I Already Know

My focus question is "Are homeless children resilient, and are they able to overcome their circumstances?" I already know there are many abandoned children who have not money for their study. I also know that some children steal because they do not have anything to eat or anoother ther children go to places like boarding homes. Additionally, a lot of children who do not have anything, fight for what they want. I hope to learn how homeless children overcome without help.

Un Googleable Research Paper-Website Evaluation Tips

I asked three people about which websites are good for research papers. I asked Ms.Raquel. She said, "A good website to use for research papers would be one that ends in '.org,' because it is an organization that provides the information." The second person I interviewed was Mr.Berry. He told me this: "I think a website is a good resource when it ends with '.edu' or '.gov'.It is also a good resource when it is a peer-reviewed article from a library search engine." The last person I interviewed was a student named Lerontae. He told me, "A good website to use is if it is also has resources for its own facts and information." If I want to find information I can I look at the sites that these people suggested.

The games were really fun and my favorite game was baseball. I was in the team four and we won a few games.I had fun that day. The best part was that I was with my sister named Nancy that made me very happy because I feel comfortable with my sisters.

Summary of Third Quarter




 


In two weeks I read a story called “American History” about a young girl named Elena .
Elena is a girl humiliated by black girls but then she became interested in a boy
named Eugene .In the same day the president  was assassinated and everyone was
surprised by that. I also learned some interesting words like element, conduct, and
resourced. So that’s what I learned in this two weeks. I also learn how use Google docs
and I participated in online discussion.

“American History” Narrative

My name is Elena and I am in nine grade and I have 14 years old.I remember well the day when  the president was killed, and all the people were surprised. That the same day my PE teacher  told us to play over there but I didn’t  like because were some black girls hurting me and humiliating me until I cried. But the most beautiful thing I remember is when I met Eugene. Eugene was so cute for me so I asked a lot for him until one day I dared to speak him and of course he smiled me. I began to study with him in the library or we walked together to our houses. One day I was going to study with him but my mom did not like that idea because the president died so I had to show respect for his death.But I went to Eugen’s house. Suddenly when I was touching the door his mother opened the door but she did not want me to study with Eugene. She asked me the favor to go home. I was shocked because she did not like me with Eugene so I began to cry but not by the president’s death. I began to cry for what had happened to me with the Eugene’s mom.
