I had the greatest day today. On my way to court Jen (the staff) and I were talking about my "husband" Kid Cudi♥. I was talking to her about how I really really want to see him live at Nokia Theater in Los Angeles on June 20. She was telling me that I should tell my social worker about going. Later that day Jen saw my social worker while I was at school and told her about this amazing concert. I was expecting her to say no because she is really strict like that. Luckily, she said YES as long as I have a staff that is willing to go and watch over me. Also, I have to somehow raise half of the money, which is easy. I’m so excited because I grew up in downtown LA and it just makes feel so great because I get to be in my hometown and I get to see my husband!

UnGoogleable Research Paper Highlight Reflection

Reading and highlighting the sources for my UnGoogleable research paper didn’t help me because while using awesome highlighter some of my websites that I used wouldn't work. One thing that I did learn was to skim through my websites so that I can highlight the important parts.  I can break my information into three sections. One section that if anyone helped her choose her outfits. Another one is if she likes to be a fashion icon. Lastly, is if she liked dressing up. My next step to write a research paper should be to sort out all the information and put it in order.

UnGoogleable Research Paper Website Selection Reflection

Today in class I looked up diverse websites that could help me to get ready for my research paper. To search for websites, I used Qwiki, Sweet Search, True Knowledge, Hakia, World book, iSEEK, and Google wonder wheel. When I found a website related to my focus question, I got really excited because it could help me understand my focus question a lot better. I knew some of the websites I found were unacceptable because they showed many pop up ads, and I could tell that it was written poorly. I know the websites I selected are good because it was exactly what I needed to answer my focus question. Tomorrow, I expect that Ms. Priester will tell me to write a brainstorming chart, or outline.

Third Quarter Awards Review

The awards assembly on Friday was upsetting. Everyone had to go to the auditorium to get there awards for third quarter. Teachers, social workers and the friends of San Pasqual were all there to support those kids who had outstanding grades or that have improved. I felt that I deserved an award. Yes I know that second quarter I had horrible grades but third quarter I had excellent grades. I raised up most of my grade to a C. To me that a drastic change to go form an F to a C. To me that seems like I had improved alot. Then again there are alot of kids who probally did much more better than I did. Nesxt awards assembly I will try to get a 3.0 or higher. I'm already doing everything I can for fourth quarter so hopefully I will reach my goal.

UnGoogleable Research – What I Already Know

My focus question is "How did Audrey Hepburn make fashion popular?" I already know that ballet flats, capri pants, and little black dresses with white gloves were very popular because she brought in style back in the 1940-50's. Also, "The Audrey Hepburn Children's Fund" was founded after her death to carry on the things she believed in. She had a husband, Mel Ferrer after 14 years of marriage they divorced. She had a son named Sean. Furthermore, she was honored with a U.S postage stamp. Also, she wasn’t all that good at singing she sang “Moon River” in the movie “Breakfast at Tiffany’s.” By doing more research I hope to learn more about are her quotes. -“People, more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed and redeemed.”
