    As soon as class started today, Mr. Schick decided to scare the whole class since it was Friday the 13th. He was pretending like he was waiting for class to start and then yelled "boo". A lot of people got scared and it was really funny. After that happened, we talked about how Wikipedia is a good source to use to jump start your research. Its basically like a summary of everything from hundreds of websites. We saw that one page on Wikipedia could lead to another page which could lead to another page and so forth, kind of like a domino effect. Also, we talked about how if the article is too big, then you can just look at the table of contents to find the area you need to cover. Once our discussion about Wikipedia was over, we were told to split into groups of three to four people. While we were in our groups, we had to start making a PowerPoint presentation. We have to define globalization and find pros and cons about it. By using Google documents, we can all work on the same presentation but different slides at the same time.
