[] ==I really liked this website only because it had a fun few facts on Woodrow Wilson. One of the good things about this website is that it tells about woodrow wilson himself. It also tells what he did during presidency. One of the bad things about it is that it doesnt have that much information to do anything with. This website would help people if they needed to just find something small about him out.==

[] ==The thing about this website that I really enjoyed was how Woodrow Wilson was involved in WWI. The good thing about this website is that it has many of facts leading to WWI with Woodrow Wilson. The bad thing about it is the page didnt have many other things I could really look at. If this site had more about Woodrow Wilson, it was shortened up and not fully explained. The page was not so decorated either. To me decorated pages with tons of information catch my attention more than boring ones.==

[] ==The really cool thing about this website is that it has many quotes that woodrow wilson had said. The good thing about this website is that we can reword one of his quotes in to being our own if ever doing a biography or report on Wilson. Always make sure we cite where the information came from. The bad thing about this site is that there are not that many of his quotes to look at. I thought that this site would be good to talk about because we never look at anything like this.The reason I chose this site is because I love reading some of the wikipedia things.==

[] ==This one is specifficaly about 14 points which was a speech. The good thing about this one is that there is plenty of detail. There also some links toward the bottom of the page you can activate to get more information. This website shows us many facts from possibly beginning to end. I would reccomend this site to anyone.==

[] ==The thing that I like about this website is that it has the biography of Woodrow Wilson. The good thing about it is that it has citations down at the bottom incase we needed to cite on a note card where the information came from. The bad thing about this one is that it could be a little bit longer for a biography. In this site it kind of just gives you the basics of Woodrow Wilson's life. I would recommend it to people who write short essays on people.== = = =What I learned= "There is such thing as a nation being go right it does not need to convince others by force that it is right." (Woodrow Wilson). Woodrow Wilson was a intelligent man and very successful. I wish we had more people like him around here. He had much success in his life he died early for his age. Wilson was well known for many things like his quote and WWI. If it was not for our presidents we would all be in a mest up world. That's why I'm going to tell us a little bit about what I learned from reading articles on Woodrow Wilson and give some thoughts on what I researched.

Woodrow Wilson was born in December 3 days after Christmas on the 28th in 1856. Wilson lived a rather good life. He went to school at Johns Hopkins University. He was well known for his ideas about education and schooling. I wish I was well known for my ideas. Woodrow Wilson was known as the "Hero" of WWI. I believe that if he could be a hero then all of us could be a hero. He was voted president of 1912. To me making president would be a big deal. Wilson on lived up until 1924 he was only 68 when he had died.

I learned that no matter what in life we are all capable of doing something that we enjoy. If all of us want to run for president that we can. Only certian things are going to stop us. Many of the presidents were well known for many things. I chose wilson only because he seemed like one of the easiest to write about. If Wilson were alive I believe we all should look up to him. He sounded like a man of his work and made much success. He was intellegent and the hero of WWI. I wish that all of us had heads on our shoulders 24 7 of the day and then we all could be great and successful as he was. Thats why I chose to write about Woodrow Wilson.

Sigmund Freund
Ashley Albaugh

Something that really stuck out to me about Sigmund Freud was his many ideas like psychodynamics. Also how he traveled to study with a man named Jean Martin Charcot. Charcot studied in things such as hysteria, and hypnosis. Freund had opened up his own Medical field. Freund had such great intelligence, he studied unconscious mind, and things like psychopathology. He had a mind of his own and now today he shares it with many of the rest of us who would like to know things about what he had come up with and what kind of things he had studied.

In this website it talks about immigration on Ellis Island. It startd from 1892-1954, there were well over 12 million immigratins in the time period that had been given. The orgininal name of the island had been **"Kioshk"** or **Gull Island.** The lands private owner's name had been Samuel Ellis it had been his in the 1770's. It use to be nothing back then. Then it kind of rose to something a little bit bigger something along the lines of having a good harbor fort, and an ammunation depot. Immigration had been a good rise in 1907. This website has many typical facts on Ellis Island.

[]
This website has the pictures showing where immigration had begun on Ellis Island. It shows how Elllis Island had looked back then and today. It had such significance back then than it does right now. People who try to get on it now days is always checked by security. Security keeps tight hands on people. It has pictures from the arrival and the drop offs of immigrants. Although only certain ones were only allowed to enter. I like this site only because of the great pictures. They show me alot of detail.

[]
This website is pretty much about how Ellis Island is today from back in the early 1900's. Today it takes security to get people through. Back then it took just if the immigrants health was not very good. Today there are Exhibits and Displays that could be looked at. They are exhibits and displays of when back then immigrants had migrated on this island. I like this website because of the significance it has to it.

[]
This website has many facts on Ellis Island. Things like where it was located, who and what immigrated on it. Why it was so hard for immigrants to step foot past the gate to enter Ellis Island. It tells things such like how immigrants tried so hard to get through the gates. Also how the Statue of Liberty national monument. It is now a famous land mark. The good thing about this now is that it is just a site seeing place and back then it was a bad thing for the immigrants only because it was so hard for them to get into the gates.

[]
This website tells me where exactly Ellis Island is located. I know that it is located down down by the mouth of the Hudson River. This website has a little history from 1892. The pro's about this website is that it is detailed on its information. One of the con's would be it doesn't talk much about how it was in the 1900's. The reason that I like this website is because it has good things that it talks about for once again the immigration.

What I Have Learned
I have learned that there are some good things about Ellis Island and some bad things about Ellis Island. I know that immigrants use to go there but it had been hard for them to even get in. There is alot of history about Ellis Island. There is also many facts on this particular island. It is even known to be part of the Statue Of Liberty National Monument. Well it takes part in it anyways. I looked at many websites that had pictures of it. There were pictures of Ellis Island Back then and what it looks like today. Also Ellis Island has things like where its located and how wonderous it is. So lets take a trip back in time and I'll give you a little bit of what i had learned.

Ellis Island is located at the mouth of the Hudson River. Back in the 1900's Immigrants tried thier hardest to try and get in. It had been hard for the immigrants to do that though because they had to meet certain healt standards. Now days it just takes getting through the gates by security. Im sure they had security back then but not as well as we have it now. Ellis Island use to be known as the Gull Island or Oyster Island. That was back in the late 1800's. So the people decided to name it Ellis Island. Ellis Island is also a part of the Statue of Liberty's National Monument. It had many exhibits and displays shown back to the 1900's. Ellis Island is a little island that sits off of the city New York. This island had been taken by Sameul Ellis Shortly after the revolutionary war. Thats how Ellis Island got its name from the last name of Samuel. This island had been by the New Jersey Shipping place. Back in the 1800s Ellis Island was a military school. In The 1900s that changed to a place a First Federal Immigration Station. There was much history behind Ellis Island.

I learned that getting on to Ellis Island back then must have been hard for the immigrants. Only becuase they had bad health standards. These were the things that stuck out to me the most. I found what i had typed very interesting, not only that what i had read to. There is much History behind Ellis Island. Sooner or later it might make History again. From the sounds of it security now has their hands full.

This website has many things about Thomas Edison's family. Also it has his biography about himself. It also helped me with how and what to say in my own words on the voicethread about him. Some things I learned from this website were Thomas Edison had been born in poverty in the 1840's. He had grown up to be a intelligent inventor of many things.

[]
This website had a list of Thomas Edison's Inventions from 1847-1917. He had many good inventions but for today im only going to name a few. He had invented the carbon telephone transmitter "button." Which he had invented in the years of 1876-1877. He also came up with a specific lamp which had been named the incandesent electrical lamp. He came up with many inventions within his life.

[]
This website is a little fun. It gives a few facts on Thomas Edison and what kind of things he did when he was alive. If it wasn't for Thomas Edison we would not have any electricity. Thats right no electricity he was the inventor of the light bulb. It talks about his life kind of like the first web site but in a shorter version of the first website. It talks about how he was tought telegraphy. What telegraphy is, is that its a machine that can send telegraphic messages without anybody's help it just sends automatically.

[]
This website was really one of my favorites. It gave me information on Thomas Edison's many inventions that he had created. He created many of things, Only a few were posted on this page. It took him a few years to come up with each invention. Or maybe not even many years, just possibly several months before he got it done.

[]
This Website is kind of a site that looks like it could be out of an encyclopedia. The reason i like this page is because it tells about Thomas Edison's life, what he invented, etc. Also this site has a gallery with pictures that you can look at. It also talks about some movies or motion pictures that are about him. Thomas Edison the early Inventor is rather famous for all of his inventions.

=Three Paragraph Essay On What I Learned.=

I have learned many things just from these websites about Thomas Edison. I've learned that Thomas Edison was the creator of many things such as the lightbulb.Thomas Edison has many inventions besides the lightbulb. He was a man of creation and gave thought into everything he had invented. Now im going to tell you a little bit about what i had learned from this project.

The lightbulb is one invention that we really use now days. Thomas Edison invented that for us to have electricity instead of having to always carry candels or something. It's much much easier now with the light bulb. The lightbulb is the reason why we have so much technology now. Due to the lightbulb that is why our population over technological things have increased. Also he came up with the printing press. I wish i would have been alive back when he invented it. Only so i could see how he had done it. Thomas Edison also came up with a type of printing press. It had been a machine or better yet a device that made it easier to write papers with better yet i should say "Print papers" with. That was a rather helpful machine back then. There was also the Telephone. Wow! how the telephone now is so important to us. He had huge success with the telephone he had invented. It helped people communicate back and fourth with each other. Other than having to walk long distances in order to talk to someone.

Thomas Edison is a one in a kind man, he must have been very generous in order to come up with all of his inventions. Back then he help so many people. Now the effect of the telephone, lightbulb, and printing press, it made our nation well known to many tecnological sources. If I knew Thomas Edison I right now would be giving him a big hand for all of the things he had created. Which showed much success to the nation.

Ashley Name of invention: The cotton Gin Name of Inventor: Eli Whitney Date of Invention:1794 Purpose of the invention:For freeing cotton wool from the seeds. Brief History: Eli Whitney Invented this so that way people didn't have to sort or clean the cotton-wool from the seeds by hand anymore. With the use of this invention it got ready for spinning and could be sent to the mills. Many of tons of people were able to buy cheaper clothes because of this new invention. It started fifty-years earlier than England. Also because of this machine our nation instead of being a commercial nation it had become and industrial nation. People had wanted to steel his invention. They know they couldn't. So with his money he decided to buy guns after all the court frustration. Still today, people love the feel of the cotton clothes. They are very useful to our nation. I am glad to say i wear cotton. He did a magnificent job on making such an invention to help clothe the ones in need of clothing. References:www.blupete.com
