Do Now 9/29

An editorial is an article in the newspaper presenting the opinion of a publisher, or editor. 

Most of my teachers explained that Wikipedia is a website that shouldn't be trusted because it could give false information. Also they have said that anyone could change the information as long as they have an account. My teachers recommend me to not use Wikipedia because they always mention that it could give false information, and it's not a trusted website to research on. Some of my classmates have asked before if they could use Wikipedia as their last source if they can't find any information, and they said it's alright as long as it's the very last source for information. 

After this article my Wikipedia thoughts haven't changed because I agree with my teachers that it's not a trusted website, and that anyone could change the information to false facts. However, I do believe that Wikipedia is a good website if you can't find any information on a topic. In other words, Wikipedia may help you on research, but it's very risky. 

Will it bend? iPhone 6 takes a turn for the worse

Before 

   The Iphone 6 and plus has taken the wrong turn, people have been complaining about their new Iphones that are suppose to be better, and not bendable. Some owners say they can't even keep it in their pockets without damaging it. That's not all they are fed up with their phones that they have taken it to MacRumors Forum. One Iphone 6 Plus user named Hanzoh complained how after 18 hours being roughly in his pocket it bent completely. To prove their point some people have even taken videos of their Iphone 6 bending after being applied with pressure. However, similar problem have occurred before when the Iphone 5s. 4s. and 5 had been released people were complaining about the structure.

Algebra 1 

   The Algebra 1 teacher is Mr. Olsen who has a child, and adores teaching algebra. He can be very strict with his rules such as the water bottle rule; if you have a water bottle out on your desk he will warn you to put it away. However, if you take it out again and forget to put it away he will give you a detention. Also, he doesn't want anyone to be late to his class because a minute late is a minute of education lost, and if you're late he will give a 15 minute detention. His grading policy is very simple, but very strict as in you must show work on a separate piece of paper so it's neat and organized. He needs to see the work because it proves to him that you did the work, and not copy off of a friend. He will sometimes collect the notebooks that have the do now on, which should be simple because after five minutes class has begun he will go over the do now and answer it. He would grade his quizzes on how many numbers there are on the questions. For example, recently there was a quiz that had 48 questions therefore he counted each one as two points.
     In addition, I expect to learn about functions equations, linear system, polynomials, and statics. All of these things I expect to learn during this course is all on Mr. Olsen's schedule for the year which can be found here. However, in class we have learned about the different properties such as commutative, associative, identity, and distributive property. Also, he has taught us the difference between expressions and  equations, and plans to give us a test based on all the things we have learned about in class soon.
   Finally, an example of technology used in his class is his ipad which is connected to the projector. He also has us use khan academy - a website that helps understand algebra, and we can go to other levels that progress harder as we go on. The interesting aspects of the class that I enjoy are the projects even though we haven't started any of them yet, hearing from my other peers who have had him they say it's always simple and fun. To add on, Mr, Olsen never gives pop quizzes, and let's you know ahead of time when projects are due or tests are coming up.      


Here are examples of what we are about to learn.
