Meme Generator

This app is called Meme Generator.

This app can be used for many different things and is very creative and humorous, it can be used to make assignments more fun and uplifting!


 
You can use this in quite a few subjects and its a very creative way to up your marks and get a better score in your assignments. It can be used in art and drama, creative subjects and electives like that.
 
 There was no real challenges in this, and the images were quick and easy to pick along with generating the quotes and images!

In conclusion, this was an easy task and was creative and fun! The quotes and actual website was easy to use and I thoroughly enjoyed it with making up quotes with my friends!

Ngram

Ngram is the name of the website.

This is a website that shows the history of the use of words and how the use of them have increased or decreased.

This is a screenshot of an ngram monitoring my name and brand with Google alerts.

https://books.google.com/ngrams/graph?content=hannah&year_start=1800&year_end=2000&corpus=15&smoothing=3&share=&direct_url=t1%3B%2Channah%3B%2Cc0

You could use Ngram in a lot of subjects but the main ones would have to be History, English, Maths and Christian Ed. You could use them to see timelines and how words have been used in previous years and centuries.

I had a challenge while taking a screenshot but apart from that it was a very easy task!

In conclusion, this was an easy task with only one challenge that was overcome easy!

4. Recently when I was in New York, I was looking for a book: The Lost Algonquin.

    1. Who was it written by? Theodore Kazimiroff is the author of this book.
    2. In less than 200 words what is this book about? This is about a lone Algonquin Indian in 1924, who lived quietly in Pelham Bay park, a wild and isolated corner of New York City. This is the gripping story of his bitter struggle, remarkable courage and constant quest for dignity and peace. By the 1840's, he was thirteen and alone in the world. During Civil War, Joe found that there was no place for him in this world, so he returned to his birth place. As he grew older he entrusted his legacy to the young boy Scout who became his only friend, and here that young boy passes it on to us.
   3. Explain in 2 - 3 sentences why or why not you think it is appropriate for my 10 year old son? I believe that this book isn't appropriate for a 10 year old as I think it is to mature for the age gap. As this topic shows black people getting bashed and no one wants kids to think this is right.
  4. You can buy the book on Barnes and Noble, Bookdepository.com, Amazon but the cheapest site to buy the book is by far, Barnes and Noble at a price of $10.94 winning by a good $7 or $8.
