Read this small newspaper clipping and then write a blog post about it. What are your thoughts? How does it make you feel? Do you agree? Disagree? Explain yourself.

I agree and disagree with this newspaper clipping. I believe that teenagers should have some freedom and be in their own 'dream world' as the author says. We shouldn't relay on them to make a change, adults should help too. As a teenager you're supposed to live and do things you want, not help change things benefiting other people. I also agree with it because teenagers should help, but to a certain, smaller extent.

Tell me if you agree with this statement and then explain why or why not. "Images on the internet are 'free game' - if someone posted it, I should be able to use it."

I disagree with this statement. Most people don't post pictures for other peoples use, they post them for themselves and their friends. I think its wrong because people could use them for the wrong reasons and use the images for something bad.

Tell me a little bit about yourself and your life here at BVHS. What activities or clubs are you involved in? What year are you in school? What is your favorite class and/or teacher so far this year? What are you looking forward to this school year? Include some original photos from your phone if you can.

I'm involved in choir right now. I want to join a few clubs this year though because I wasn't in any last year. I'm a sophomore. My favorite class is painting because I love doing art. There's not anything specific I'm looking forward to this year, but i am looking forward to spring show.

What do you know about Web Design right now? What did you know about Web Design before you walked in to this class? Tell me as much as you can about how web pages work. Try to use an example if possible.

Something I learned in this class that I didn't know was HTML coding. I learned how to make the backbone of a website and link pictures and url's to it. I had never heard of HTML coding before I walked into the room. I used to think making a website just consisted of copying and pasting and just adding things. I never thought every website would have a backbone. Web pages work because of HTML coding. It includes links things and is an easy way to map out your webpage. A good example would be codeacadamy.com. It teaches you how to code and what a correct code looks like.
