1.) Question: How can a wiki be used in a current class on your schedule. Pick a class and be specific how the class could create and use a Wiki on a regular basis.
Answer: Wiki can be created and used on a regular basis. For example, U.S History. In U.S. History, one of the main topics are the people's rights and it's effects on current laws and trials. Almost everyday in class, students go back and forth on certain topics to decide on who is right. For these debates, we create a WIki and debate online. The teacher can create the page and the students can comment back and forth on the discussion page. This will allow everyone to see the points, have a minute to think and respond. Aslo, this benefits everyone because it gives all a chance to respond-even the shy ones.These discussions could be used as a way to look back and review when a test is coming up. Using a Wiki for U.S History can give everyone a chance to give their opinion and have notes to look back at for tests.

Everyday of my weekend, I did the same thing-court practices. On November 15, 2014 I will be having my sweet 16 at The Empire Club. For my sweet I chose seven guys and seven girls who I a closest to and asked them to be in my court of honor. One of the jobs a court is given is to participate in one or more dances. From Thursday, November 6 to Sunday, November 9, I had the fourteen members come to my house to practice their routines.
The dance routine that I chose to have them do was a waltz to the song "Apoligize" by One Republic. However, teaching them the moves and getting them to do it was difficult, not because they couldn't dance, but because they fooled around too much. I would try to get there attention, but there were times where they would stress me out. Although I wanted to, I refused to yell at my friends and closest family because it made me feel bad to do so. Instead, I would do things like blast the music until they all realized I needed their attention back.
After a few days, it was Sunday, and the routine was not as well as it should have been, but somehow we managed to get the routine to perfection. I don't know exactly how it happened, but it might have been because I yelled at them for the first time in my entire life with them. Maybe that showed them how much I cared for this event. Although I'm not sure exactly what it was, I'm glad they decided to get to work.
It's only four days until my sweet and there are still two practices left. The worry I have and fear that something or someone will mess up my "perfect" day is enormous, but my excitement and trust in my family and friends still outweighs the horrible feeling. Perfection might not be real, but with the hope I have, I know it wil be perfect to me.
