Blog-Post Assessment


My favorite restaurant so far is Chipotle. I really this restaurant because I really like the food there. The closest Chipotle near Wood-Ridge is the one at 40 NJ-17, Rutherford, NJ 07070. It is a bit far but to me it is worth it. There is another one in the Westfield Garden State Plaza as well. This Chipotle's address is 1 Garden State Plaza Blvd, Paramus, NJ 07652. In my opinion, the food at Chipotle is excellent. At Chipotle, they have all kinds of foods. There are foods like burritos, burrito bowls, corn tacos, and salads. You can check out the foods they have from here My favorite food to get from Chipotle is a burrito with chicken, black beans, white rice, and cheese and I like this because to me it is just really good to eat.   
     Chipotle was founded by Steve Ells in 1993 and had only 16 restaurants by 1998. This is when the McDonald's Corporation became a huge investor. Later in 2006, McDonald's completely divested itself from Chipotle and the chain had grow to over 500 locations. In 2013 with more than 1,900 locations, Chipotle had a huge net income of $327.4 million as well as a staff of more than 45,000 employees. Then in late 2015, Chipotle really expanded its own mobile strategy through several delivery partnerships.
Subway
Chipotle
     This is my favorite restaurant because it has some of my favorite foods. Another reason is that it is really easy to order. Chipotle's way of ordering really reminds me of the way how Subway works. If the restaurant closed down, I would probably start going to Qdobas because of its similarity. I hear that it is very similar and I believe that that would be the better choice for me to make in a situation like that. I just hope that that time does not come anytime soon.

Holiday Break Plans

      I have several plans for my holiday break this year. This including getting many gifts for Christmas, college football, and basketball as well. I think I'm going to have a really nice holiday break and I really can't wait for it. First, I can't wait for mainly Christmas because I think I am hopefully gong to get all the things that I want. I am looking forward to getting shoes mainly and more nice clothes. The things especially the shoes that i want, are pretty expensive so that decreases my chances a bit. See some shoes that I want from
       I also cannot wait for the college football playoffs that start on the 31st. The games are Clemson vs Oklahoma in the first game which is the Orange Bowl. The second game is Michigan St. vs Alabama and this game is the Cotton Bowl. I am very excited for both of these games and all of these games. Both of these games lead up to the championship game which is on January 11th. I truly cannot wait for that game as well as these are all very good match ups.
The last thing I am excited for is the basketball season. The basketball team has a holiday tournament on around the day after Christmas. This tournament id held in Demarest for I have never been to a basketball tournament here because for middle school we would usually be in a tournament in North Arlington. So this is my first high school tournament and I am extremely excited and I wish the freshman, JV, and varsity team the best of luck.

School Bookmarking Project Discussion Questions

  1. 1.What's another way you can organize and store information on your computers?
  2. 2.What have you learned from researching the above topics? 
  3. 3.What do you know now about those current events that you didn’t know before?
  4. 4.What are other social bookmarking apps/websites?
  5. 5.Will you continue to use social bookmarking?

1. Using the website, Diigo, you can just bookmark it so you can get to your bookmarked websites much quicker and easier. 
2. I have learned to add bookmarks to these topics to sort them easier so i can get to these websites easier as well. 
3. During the researching I have done, I actually know that The US is trying to start a war against ISIS as well as terrorism itself from others. Also I learned about the website Diigo and Diigolet to add bookmarks to Diigo
4. Some other bookmarking sites are Delicious and StumbleUpon.
5. I will definitely continue to use social bookmarking because it can make a lot of things easier for schoolwork or even research papers if I am looking for information.

Cloak Writing Prompt

It would be amazing if I had an invisible cloak to wear for a day. A lot of people would use an invisible cloak for evil. Some people might even abuse the power for this special ability. I on the other hand, would not use it for evil or abuse the power too much. I would use this power for good and to help others.
To start, I would use this cloak to secretly save others from trouble without being seen. I would save others lives from great danger as well as help other people in time of need. I think this would be a great idea yet a very good thing to do as a good deed. I do not want people to look at me as a very selfish person. I really want people to see me as a respectful and responsible person.

Do Now 12/7

     The class that I would add to our school is a cat class. I would add this class because I think it would be good for people to learn all about cats. For this class, the class would meet in the media center/library. I think that this is good bc this room has a lot of space and that is a really good thing to have a lot of space in your class. The students would have to know more about cats in this class. It would look like just a regular class, but learning something more unique, cats.
     I think this class would be good because I think it would be good for people to learn more about cats. I also think that a lot of people would be interested in this class. The class would mainly talk about what a cat is. Also we would learn about what a cat does and how a cat is. Basically, we would be teaching about mainly all types of cats

RSS Discussion Questions

1. I selected these sites because they are the ones that best fit me and my personality.
2. It was easy to find them and subscribe them.
3. The sites that were my favorite were ncaa.com and apple.com as well.
4 You can definitely use rss feeds especially for getting information and summaries easier and quicker.
5. I am pretty likely to continue continue to use rss feeds in the future because they are just so useful and so simple to use as well and it is a great help in case you need help with finding summaries or more info for researching.

Do Now 11/30

        Im thankful for my mom and my dad for raising me right. They always look out for me and they also always want the best of me. They are very supportive and they both love me a lot. I am extremely thankful for parents like them. My mom and dad will always be there for me in any time of need.
        Last Thanksgiving I flew to California and stayed in Lancaster which is in Antelope Valley for about a day. The next day which was Thanksgiving Day, I drove all the way back to Los Angeles to my grandparents house. I didn't eat too much as I am not always that big on food when it comes to Thanksgiving. I got to see a lot of my family members who I don't get to see too often because they live in California and that's pretty far.
        My family's Thanksgiving tradition is we all get together at my grandparents house in California for Thanksgiving. We have been doing this for about 4 years and the tradition still carries on.
