UnGoogleable Research Paper – Website Evaluation Tips.

How can you tell if a website is a good resource for writing a research paper?

“You can tell if it good by the way it’s used and if they post good reviews.” –Emilia

“Using anything with .org and gov. anything that has references.”-Caroline

“It has lots of spam and the way its design cheaply.” -Brook

The advice that these people have given me is useful because it helps me figure out good info from bad info. Also to compare wether the material is good by being similar to my other sources. The website can as well give additional recourses such as books, newspaper articles, etc.

Fourth Quarter Kickoff Reflection.


I did not attend the Fourth Quarter Kickoff, because I felt as if it was a big waste of time. Therefore I'll talk about how a quote has affected the way I think about getting even with someone. “An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind.”-Gandhi. Hearing this I didn’t care that much about what it meant. I was focus on being right because I thought I was. Afterwords, I was thinking about what it was supposed to mean. Basically, it means that you shouldn't get somebody back for something they did wrong to you because in the long run, everyone is going suffer. I figured out that just forgiving is the only I can get even.

Fourth Quarter Goals

My greatest accomplishment from last quarter was to at least get a C. I know that a sound like it’s not a big deal but, in order to achieve this goal I had to take baby steps. You have to learn how to crawl before you walk. I had an F in Ms. Priester’s class so to get a D I had to turn in some assignments. Hopefully this quarter I get an A or at least a B. First, I have to pay attention; because if I don’t then how will I know what my assignments are about. Second I have to turn in the assignment to get credit for doing it. Lastly, I have to go over it to see if I did it right, if not then I will have to waste time by doing it over again.

Historical Approach Paragaph.


Understanding history is really important because it tells us what it was like a long time ago. Also, it helps us understand the humankind a lot better. Without history there would be no technological because we would be always inventing the same thing over and over again, pretty much we would have never learned anything from the person who invented it before us. For example if everyone was to eat hemlock no one would have known it’s poisonous because no one is telling them about it. Therefore it helps us solve problems today. We have to learn from mistakes that were made before us so that we do not repeat them.
