Wiki Homework

1: Wiki's can be very useful in my classes. They would be helpful because answer that may not be easy to find are much easier to find on a wiki, it help with specific questions. For example in history i wanna know more a bout world war two, a wiiki will give specific information with links to learn more. Also if i know something the wiki doesn't state, i can add it.
2: There are many benefits from using a wiki. You can post an idea and your friends can add on to the idea and suggest other topics with links. You can help someone out by answering a posted question or someone can help you out with your own question.
3: In this class we can create one by simply editing a post. We can maybe create one on ideas for the final or type of questions used on the final and the entire class can contribute
4: Ive used wiki's most of my computer days when i wanna find something out easily and straight to the point i end up on a wiki 80% of the time. Personally i love them and find them very useful to me and the questions i ask. However i have no experience creating wiki's.

Invisible

Invisible

If i were invisible for one day i would do many good deeds. I would first go to troubled areas and saved people from murders and robing. For example if somebody was in trouble and i were invisible i would save them without them realizing who i was. There are lots of other crimes i would prevent by being invisible. I would do as much as i could for the day of invisibility. I would be an unsung hero. I would lastly stop school bullies because i don't like to see that.

Italian

Italian is a class i am looking forward to this year. I am Italian so i like to learn how to speak it and the heritage. The teacher of this class is Ms. Iannacco. Ms. Iannacco is in her second year at WRHS. Ms. Iannacco is Italian herself and is very familiar with the language, and in fact has been to Italy. Ms. Iannacco class is very fun and sometimes we learn with hands on activities like throwing the ball around the room and when you get it you have to say a certain word that pertains to the lesson in Italian.
    Last year our Italian class took a trip to the opera in NYC, i myself didn't go on it because i didn't want to miss a day of school, however my friends went and said it was a great experience. Hopefully Ms. Iannacco has something fun to do this year just like last year. In this class i honestly learn a lot of Italian I am currently in Italian 3 and i'm aware that it is going to be a challenge but i know that Ms. I will equip us with the knowledge we need to pass the course.
     In this class we really use so much technology. Every night we are assigned homework on Vhl central which is an educational website for learning language. In class we also watch Italian videos on youtube or Vhl central.The grading policy in this class according to my syllabus is very normal. 40% formal assessments, 40% performance based assessments, 10% informal assessments, and 10% classroom participation and homework. I am looking forward to this year and i'm sure it will be a good one.Check Ms. Iannacco's website out .
