Fourth Quarter Goals

Fourth Quarter Goals


My fourth quarter goals are to help my relationship with my teachers get my grades up so I can play football. Also my another goal is not only to do good in Ms. Priester‘s class but also in all my other classes. Besides my academics I want to improve physically and better my last abilities. Reflecting on last quarter I did not do so good and I don’t want to make that same mistake again by not passing my classes. I’m not going to fail this quarter. These are my fourth quarter goals.

UnGoogleable Research Paper Highlight Reflection

UnGoogleable Research Paper Highlight Reflection


-----Reading and highlighting the sources for my UnGoogleable research paper helped me to... See the important information instead of the un useful information. ----I learned… that the site Ms. Priester was very useful it was really cool that we could highlight things on the internet. ---I can break my information into three sections. ---One sections is… The effects of concussions after there career. ---Another section is… If they are successful after their retirement. ---The third section is… How the players have Depression and emotional problems after their done playing. ---My next step to write a research paper should be… To have a graphic organizer to put all my ideas and information.

UnGoogleable Research Paper Website Selection Reflection

UnGoogleable Research Paper Website Selection Reflection


Today in class I had to find seven different sites about my question “Are NFL players successful after they leave the NFL?” --To search for websites, I … used the websites Ms. Priester provided for me like Google scholar, Qwiki and a bunch of other ones. --When I found a website related to my focus question, I… Read a little bit of it to see if it was any good useful information then I copied the url and posted it on the form and in Google docs. --I knew some of the websites I found were unacceptable because… Some of them had a lot of ads and not very much information and it didn’t have an author or the date when posted. --I know the websites I selected are good because … They had so much useful information they had a little to almost no ads they had the date posted and had the author. --Tomorrow, I expect that Ms. Priester will tell me to … Find some more sites with not so many ads.

Third Quarter Awards Review

Third Quarter Awards Assembly


The assembly was ok. We were just sitting for awhile so it got a little boring but it was cool to see the awards being passed out. One thing that is really cool is that if you get a 4.00 you get a hundred dollars from both Tia and Alex. It was funny when Johnny went to go get his award he’s been here for a while he deserves one. Also it was cool when they called everybody with a 3.00 I think they get like seventy five dollars. Next time I hope to get an award.

What i already know

What I Already Know


My focus question is “Are NFL players successful after they leave the NFL? I already know that the average NFL career is three years and that a lot of players after they leave the NFL aren’t very successful. They have signs of depression and many turn into drug addicts and or alcoholics. I also know that many college players who leave school early to enter the NFL after the NFL aren’t successful because lack of education. Additionally and most important for those who actually have a career In the NFL they have no retirement plans or benefits. By doing research I hope to learn that I have to get an education and to learn from there mistakes.
