Mack Olivia, Lucid Chart, Verizon

My internet provider is Verizon Fios (ISP). My internet comes from a modem, which is a wireless modem. That is connected to a wireless router. I have wireless internet. When I use my iPod, iPad and laptop, I have wireless internet to get connected to the internet. I do get OMG moments when I learn something new and I get really excited. I learned that networks are all different. I learned that once you put something out on the internet it stays there. I learned that there is a cloud that holds and stores everything. I would tell people that you should be watch how many hours of internet you use, so you don't go over your bill. Also, when a certain internet providers have a deal make sure that you read the fine print. I would also tell people that you should be aware and make sure that your wireless or internet has a password so other people don't use your internet.

My internet comes from the verizon company. It comes in as a phone cord and you connect it with the wireless modem which I connect to the desktop. Then the modem wirelessly connects to other laptops and Iphone and Ipod Touch in the house. I learned to tell the difference between some of the cords and I also, learned that there is something like the internet cloud or an actual machine in space, which holds all the information that we put in our computer. I was surprised by that fact because I never thought of my information being help in space like that. What I think that other people need to know about having an ISP/Home network is the structure of my internet chart, like where all the things connect and how it is connected.

Q1 English BM: A Dance With Dragons


I am reading the book A Dance With Dragons, by George RR Martin, part of the series A Song of Ice and Fire. The location I have chosen to recreate is called “The Twins.” It is a large bridge that spans a very large river, with a tower at one end and a fort at the other. It is the home of a major House, or family in the book, called the Freys. It is the site of a very infamous event in the series, called the Red Wedding. In it, several major characters are attending a wedding in The Twins, and Lord of the Freys betrays the major character, and kills him and several other major characters, along with hundreds of other people at the wedding. The major character who is betrayed was previously at war with another house, and had been allied with the Freys, but the changed sides in the war and betrayed the people at the wedding. In the setting of book, it is an ancient custom that when someone eats or drinks in your home, they are protected by the laws of hospitality. The Lord of House Frey betrayed those ancient customs, which made his betrayal much more surprising, and made it one of the most significant events in the series.

The main setting in the book is a continent called Westeros. There is a feudal society in Westeros, where peasants answer to the Lords of the castles they live near. Those Lords answer to one major Lord of the area they live in, and those Lords answer to the King. Every noble, or Lord, belongs to a “House,” or family. The castle that belongs to that house is passed down from father to son, unless some outside event were to take those lands from them. Houses are very important in the series, because people have to be loyal to their own family. However, the Red Wedding was something many Freys knew about, and many were not happy to do what they had to do. However, they did it anyway. This raises that question about whether or not you should follow your family in everything they do, whether or not you disagree with it. In the setting of this book, nobles have to depend on their family much more, because without them they would most likely just be a peasant, or soldier. In today’s world, however, it is much easier to get by without your family, because you don’t depend on them for as much as you did in the setting of this book. Because of this, it is difficult to answer this inquiry question because of the different setting. The Lord of the Freys most likely thought that he did what he had to do to end a war. I think for him, taking the lives of about a hundred people was worth it to save the lives of the thousands of people who may have died in the war if it were to continue. I think the book does help answer my second inquiry question, because how far you would go to what you think is right depends on what you think is right, when you decide that what you think is right outweighs what you have to do. Honor is something found a lot in the series, some people don’t value it, while others do. I think that honor is important, but if it gets in the way of “the greater good” as you may see it, it should not be valued as highly. I don’t think Lord Frey valued honor that much, because what he did by disobeying the laws of hospitality was extremely dishonorable, so I don’t think it held much sway for him. The book raises many other questions about morals, or ethics, but I think that the three I chose are the most important, and the majority of the issues in the book revolve around them.

​1. In my connection the internet cloud goes to the modem which hooks up two ethernet cables to my playstation 3 and my wireless router. The wireless router gets my internet connection that is named "yomamma". The wireless router gets connection for my two laptops. Laptop 1 is a compact and the other is a macbook. Also it connects all of our phones. This usually costs about $240 a month.

 2. Our internet connection is "yomamma" and it contains our computers and cell phones.

3. I learned that my wireless router was connected to mostly everything of mine.

4. I would tell them not to use a lot of things for example like T.V.s cell phones and computers because the amount people use the more it cost per month

Fleece, Clio, LucidChart, Homework

My internet comes into my house through a phone cable, because I have Verizon FiOS.  It then goes through a Modem, and next through a wireless router.  Our FiOS plan costs $85/month, which means it costs about $1,020/year.  My household has a lot of devices that use our internet connection, including phones and a TV.  Altogether, these devices are 2 Mac desktop computers, 3 Mac laptops, 1 TV, 3 house phones, and 2 cell phones.  When we were learning about networks, my "OMG moment" was learning how different everyone's networks are, and how they don't even go into people's houses the same way.  I had never really thought about networks as things that could be unique to each household.  What I would tell people they need to know about having a home network would be that you should know every part that your connection goes through before it reaches all of your devices.  That way, if something goes wrong, they will know to check every part for the problem.

The way that this works is that you can choose out of the five different ways to except the process. You can either choose WIFI, cable, phone,dish or fiber optics. They attach this to your house and this is how you except the internet. Then you have a modem that is connected to your Ethernet cable which is connected to your wireless router. From your wireless router you can have either a wireless connection or connected by cable. Then you can have things running from your wireless router such as your laptops, phone, xbox and more. Then from your wireless router you can have an airport express and have wireless speakers, wireless printers and more. That is how you work this system.

Monroe, Sandra LucidChart Home Network

At my house, we have Verizon Fios. When you have Verizon which is a phone modem, all of your information comes from a phone cable. Connected to my phone cable I have WiFi, so that I can use laptops, tablets, ipods, phones, etc. Connected to our network we have three Iphones, mine my sisters, and my moms. We also have three laptops, mine, my moms, and my sisters. Lastly, on my WiFi we have a Wii. When we were talking about different networks in class, i learned a lot. I had no idea that there were so many different cords or so many different things that could be in your home network. For example i didn't know about Ethernets, or Airport express'. I think that if I had to tell people about having an ISP, I would tell them to go and look at all the cords they have, and to see what each thing is connected to the other. I would also tell them that it gets very easy, if you break it down, and you do what we did with the charts.

Borock, Carolyn, lucid chart, Comcast

How the internet works: 
Connects by first having cable internet connection. Then have service provider which is Comcast,thats is connected to a modem. And the modem is connected to the ethernet. That is connected to the main computer. And it has wifi goes to all my devices, such as a laptop,iPod, phone...etc 


2. Explain your L.A.N. Local Area Network - all the devices on your internet connection.

The devices I have on my internet connection is mostly wireless besides my main computer and my printer. The wireless devices are 3 laptops, an iPod, 4 phones ...etc

3. Reflect on what you learned about networks, did you have an OMG moment that you learned something new and interesting? if now write about what you learned.
Yes I had an omg LOL moment when I learned something new. i learned that the internet doesn't just come out of no where. 

4. what would you tell other people that they need to know about having an ISP/Home network?
I would tell them that they need to know that it's not magic, it starts with the cable internet connection that you need a service provider.That internet cable connects to the modem and the modem connects to the ethernet cable. That cable connects to the main computer and the modem is wireless. And that connects it to all my devices.

Denny, Shaion, Lucidchart, Fios

My internet connection comes in the same way everyone else. It all starts with the cloud which represents the internet. My ISP (internet serves provider) is Fios. From that my ISP cable is connected to my modem. Next comes the router, mines is a wireless router. Before that comes the ethernet connection which connects everything. Back to the wireless router, it sends out a wireless signal which lets give the internet to my wireless devices. I would say my "OMG" moment is when I had to figure out how everything worked and was connected to each other. My "lol" was hearing about the cloud and finding out about how quick the internet was even though it goes through a lot of processes. I would tell someone that when trying to describe their internet connection make sure they add in the ethernet cords because they are very important.

Vellozzi Elizabeth LucidChart/ Comcast

My home is connected to the "cloud" and my modem. My modem is connected to a wireless router. This wireless router allows internet access for 3 laptops and my iphone. My internet provider is Comcast. When learning about internet connections, I would say my OMG moment would be when I found out the internet and world wide web are not the same thing. I could also say that that realization was also an "lol" moment because I often refer to them as the same thing. To answer the question "what would you tell someone about what you learned about the internet?" I would have to say I already have told someone what I learned in class. I went to my friends house after school one day and before I even said "hi", I said "did you know the internet and the world wide web aren't the same thing". It blew my mind so I guess I just decided to share it with my friend.

MERIWETHER, JORDAN, LucidChart, Home network


The internet starts out in a cloud (not a real cloud) and is bought to different homes through multiple service providers. My internet service provider ( or ISP) is Comcast, they connect me to the internet as long as I pay a fee of $55 each month which is $660 in a year. The internet comes into my house through a cable that goes in the my computer. My internet is also connected to my
laptop, xbox, and my portable gaming systems.

Clampet-Lundquist Maggie, Lucid chart, Home network

The LNA (Local Area Network)  I use is called Netgearcl. The phone, computers, Wii, and t.v are all hooked up to my network. I learned that each piece of information that you type into the computer  has its own method of transportation to get to you. Its more complicated then I thought. I also learned that information that is not appropriate for school, or for something else a wall that lets information through blocks this bad information which is basically a fire wall. My OMG moment was when i learned that the modem didn't make everything work but it was used to restart the internet, get it up and running. One thing people should know is that you can lock your wireless provider so only you can use it, and others can't.

Yousuf, Myrna, LucidChart,Home Network

My ISP (Internet Service Provider) is Verison. My internet comes through a wireless modem. Which then gives me access to Wi-Fi in my house. The device that are connected my internet are two laptops and a iPod.My internet goes through the Modem and to the Wireless Router and the Wi-Fi allows the internet to connect to my devices.
I learned that there is whole entire chain system that allows me to connect to my internet or any other internet connection. Internet just doesn't appear it travels from one thing to another to reach your devices. For example, you need an ISP who has to connect a modem or another device which needs to connect to another router and then connects to the devices.

I would tell other people to know how much they are paying for their ISP per month and per year to find out the total cost. This can help them decide if they are getting a good deal for their money.

My Local Area Network is comcast, and all the devices on it are , All of our cell phones with Wifi, My laptop & My mother and fathers. Our Desktop, and our x-box. Something that I Learned about networks is that everything your put on the internet can be seen. i actually watched A OMG moment on the movie Cyberbull. The movie was about a girl who got her first computer, and how she created a " Clicksters" (facebook) Page, and how she got bullyed. But her mom could see everything she was doing on her page. 
  One thing that i would tel people about there networks is to get a hard password on them. Other wise people could hack into your network and run up your bill.

Girls Soccer Wins Public League Championship!

The SLA Girls Soccer teamed defeated Philadelphia Academy Charter School (PACHS) 4-2 on Wednesday Oct. 31st to capture the Single “A” Public League Championship. 

Sophomore Alyssa Winner scored two goals and Aateeyah Sherrieff and Korah Lovelace each added one a piece for the victory.

SLA never trailed in the game, but it took a penalty kick by Lovelace 25 minutes into the second half to break a tense 2-2 tie. Winner iced the game with a rocket into the side netting with 10 minutes left to play.

SLA opened the scoring early with Winner hitting a direct kick from 25 yards out into the upper-right corner above the goalkeeper at the five-minute mark of the first half. PACHS equalized off a scramble following free kick in the SLA end of the field 18 minutes later and the teams entered the half tied at 1-1.

Sharrieff opened the scoring in the second half on a scramble in the goal mouth following a bobble by the PACHS keeper at the seven-minute mark of the second half. PACHS soon equalized, however, and the game entered a tense period with neither team producing scoring opportunities.

The 2-2 tie was broken when Michelle Torelli streaked down the left wing to chase down a loose ball in the PACHS defensive end. Her hustle earned a penalty as she was brought down in the box by a defender. Lovelace coolly converted the penalty kick in the lower right corner of the net to give the rockets the winning goal.

The playoff win by the Rockets avenges a 2-1 loss to PACHS during regular season and brings their record up to 10 wins and five losses.

Q1 Benchmark: Book Ending Rewrite

​The link to the new book ending, of Everyday, by David Levithan, is here.


When the project was introduced, I wasn't entirely sure what book I'd write it on. I had a choice between Jazz by Toni Morrison and Everyday by David Levithan.

I had already read Everyday, but I had no passion to do a project on it since the book's ending disappointed me so. I was in the process of readying Jazz, but that book was very hard to follow, and I wasn't concrete in my idea to redesignthe cover idea.

I then had an idea: why not read a book I might potentially like and do something on that? The prospective book was Will Grayson, Will Grayson by David Levithan and John Green. I had began reading the book, and unfortunately lost it.

But, that's beside the point. I had an innovative teacher suggested a splendid idea! Why not rewrite the ending of Everyday?!

I decided that was a swell idea and created an ending I thought was suitable for the end of the book. My intentions for the ending was to give a structured, yet broad, idea of A's life after Rhiannon. I felt like A, the main character, leaving Rhiannon with a suitable boyfriend was fine, but A's life really mattered at the end of the book, and I feel like readers don't get any idea what that might ensue.

My ending included Revered Poole, an antagonist in the story, and I wanted Poole to introduce A to people like his kind. A then meets a soul named Rose, who's just like A, in that Rose goes from body to body. They become "sort of friends" and A decides if there should be an association between them.
