Tech Tip: Weather Widget

For this week I also used the blogger tips. I changed the look of my blogger blog and I added the weather to my sidebar where I had to go the weather underground sticker website and input my location so it can appear in the box. Next I went to my blog, Clicked on Design in the upper right-hand corner. Choose Layout. Add a Gadget, and choose HTML as the type of Gadget. After that I went back to the Weather Sticker page, copy the code, and then paste it into the Blogger Gadget box and clicked Save. So now I have the weather appearing in my blog.

Week 4: Famous Last Words

In this blog post I want to talk about this week:

This week I was so busy. I had three tests and I had work also, so I did not get the chance to finish both portions of my reading. I just ended up with the half-reading option. it was so interesting to read about Arabian Nights unit and read a story talks about Scheherazade and how smart she was to let the king keep listening to her stories for a thousand and one nights. In this story Scheherazade saved her life and others lives from killing.  I wanted to write a story that can answer all of my questions that I had when I was reading the story. I was wondering how the king discovered his wife betrayed and I wanted to start my story answering that question like creating a story to show us how he knew that his wife was cheating on him .

in addition, this week i met a new people in this class and I read their stories.  it was so great to read  what they wrote for this week.  I learned from them how they write the stories. Each one had different style in writing, but it so interesting when I read stories like that with too much detail in it because that let me imagine the whole scene and enjoy the story.

  Also, I start to know how to use the punctuation marks correctly in my writing because knowing how to use them when writing in English can change a lot in the meaning and the understanding of the sentence. I am still not professional in using them, but I am working to do my best to learn how to write correctly because i know that will help me in my other classes where I have to write essays.

 I hope this week goes well and I can do both portions of my reading about interesting stories that written in different style so I can know more styles of writing.

Week 4 Review

My favorite announcement for the fourth week was the blog post that provides information about the  Caucasian Legends by Abraam Goulbat. This book can be found online which is that so good for me. And it is also seems a very interesting book that I would like to read soon.

Week 4 Reading Diary: Arabian Nights

Here are some of my notes over the first half of the Arabian nights unit:

 This is a story happened in Persia. and the story starts when a king discovered that his wife was unfaithful and he decides to marry a fresh woman everyday and then kill her in the same wedding night before she the opportunity to betray.

 One of these bride was so smart,Scheherazade, and in the day that she was should be killed, she started telling the king stories without like stopping. she was always start a new story when she finished the first one until she has completed the thousand and one nights at telling stories.

 I just was wondering why the story didn't start telling us how the king discovered his wife betrayed. and why when people have a some power they start to kill people or hurt people for no reason. and i am also not sure if the end of the story was the true end . i think in writing my story this time i will start from how the king discover that his wife unfaithful and is that could be an enough excuse for him to kill others.
