Blog Post of the Day:

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 partly agree with the clipping. I do think that teenagers, me included, complain to much about how they have nothing to do, but I also believe that life shouldn't always be serious. Teenagers who get all of their homework done and do their chores, etc. can still want something fun to do. I agree with the part about how we are the somebody and the someday, and that teenagers should make something of themselves and do productive things, but there should also be room for some fun in there.

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 think images on the internet should be available for anyone to use without credit. When people post a picture they should realize that anyone can copy and paste it so people shouldn't get upset when someone uses their picture for something. If they really want credit they should just add a watermark.

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.

This year I am a sophomore. I am in band and on the school swim team. So far my favorite class is Web Design and my favorite teacher is Mrs. Kline. I am looking forward to making a web page, all the band trips in October, swim season, and going to Colorado with band in April.

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.

Right now I can do lots of things to the text on a website. I can change the background color, make lists, change the heading size, make paragraphs, title the page, and lots of other things. I have learned that html is basically a code that the browser reads to tell it how the web page should look. Before I walked into this class I knew nothing about web design. I had no idea what html is and what it does, I also didn't know how tags worked or how to make paragraphs and headings on the page. I didn't have a sense of what goes into making a web page.Web pages work by first reading the code that you put in to figure out how the web page is supposed to look. It reads all the tags and lays out the web page how you tell it to.
