Multimedia Post

Wood-Ridge High school offers a variety of courses to students some mandatory and not. Today i will be talking about the US History class. The teacher this year is Mrs. Garvin who is very nice and enthusiastic about anything and everything. Although she likes to have fun most of the time, there is also a lot of work included. This work however, should not be pushed off because it sticks to a strict rubric of grading.
     Mrs. Garvin teaches with a lot of technology during her class. She uses projections from the computer to display it on a screen which we see. We then go through and take notes on the lesson displayed. I like this method because its a form of visual learning to me. I learn a lot faster when i see stuff and perform an activity. 
US History Inspirational Figures.



     I expect to learn a lot about the United States over the course of this school year. I'm looking forward to learn about more battles that we have encountered and what we have won or loss. In addition to just learning history is a class that you can learn from people who have lived through that event. Its cool because its like living another life if they speak to you, its a realistic story something your not just reading text off your book or internet.

What September 11 means to me

September 11 is a day that will never be forgotten. It was not just the losses of lives although it was a big part, the bigger picture here is that terrorists tried breaking our morality. Unintentionally they helped us out because we have only gotten stronger and even decided to rebuild the towers and make them even bigger this time around. Showing that we can overcome anything and return in a better state. One thing for sure is that we have changed for the greater good still looking back on this devastating day.

Hello everyone! My name is Giacomo Cirincione I like to hangout on my days off from work whether it be with friends or family. I really don't like when I have a lot of work to do in a short amount of time, there's just too much stress. I attend Wood-Ridge High school at which i take 8 classes, two of which include lunch and phys. ed. The others consist of Algebra two, American Literature, Physics, Forensics, and U.S History two and finally Web 2.0.
