There are seven reasons why Caucasians should not be on the hall ways walls. I would like to see more quotes from other races, because Caucasians are not the only ones that say inspiring things in the world. Many people will benefit from the different races.

My UnGoogleable Research for an Eight-Year Old

Some people say that the foster system is a good thing and helps all foster youth, but my question is does the system really help? My three smaller questions are is the foster system always good for a foster youth? Is being in an area where people pretend to be your parents? My last question is how the statistics for foster youth are the way they are? It is good to know these things because then older people could then know how to really help us, and if the rich people’s money is really going to a good cause.

UnGoogleable Research Paper Website Selection Reflection

Today in class, I went to deeperweb a serch engine to find websites for my reserch paper. To search for websites, I hate to use keywords like foster care and foster youth. When I found a website related to my focus question, I was supposed to fill out a fourm, but it took a long time and still needs to be finished because it was hard tofind good websites. I knew some of the websites I found were unacceptable because I didnt understand them and I couldnt find the text only links and pictures! I know the websites I selected are good because they answered my question and had no pictures that were ads. Tomorrow, I expect that Ms. Priester will tell me to tell me to finish looking for link because it is hard ot find them for foster youtha and care.

UnGoogleable Research – What I Already Know about Foster System

My focus question is “does the foster system truly help foster youth?”. I already know what it feels like to be a foster youth and I have my opinion on whether it helps me or not. I also know that statists say that they don’t help up in some areas, when the system says it does, and some foster youth say that the system doesn’t help them that much. Additionally I know that a foster youth needs the same care as a normal youth, like food, and shelter, the basic needs in life. By doing research, I hope to learn more about the help that people give to foster youth, and how much that the system doesn’t help us foster youth as a whole.

UnGoogleable Research Paper – Website Evaluation Tips

I asked three people this question, “How can you tell if a website is a good resource for writing a research paper?” a senior, my father, and my staff. My staff Crystal said “Anything with .org, .edu, .pdf, .com dictionaries, encyclopedias, and on organizations.”  A senior in my house Kristanna said “If its .org or .edu.” My father said “Look at the content, person, occupation, and degree of education. Also look if it’s a new, rating, and reviews of people who have read it, if the website ends with .gov or .edu.” These people’s tips will help me, because now I know what sites are better than other ones, and if the person who wrote went to school before.
