Blog- Post Assessment


My favorite restaurant is Crow's Nest on 309 Vincent Ave, Hackensack, New Jersey.  The type of food that The Crow's Nest serves mostly consists of American fare such as, seafood and steak. Also, they have an excellent menu for bars. Their hot wings are so hot that you need to keep ordering milk! Their roast beef is also one of the best choices. My favorite choice from The Crow's Nest would be their hot wings, I just absolutely fell in love with them! I would keep telling you about the delicious menu, but there is just too much to say! To see the rest of the menu you can click here. The directions to Crow's Nest is here.

In 1974, Andy's Fishery was opened by Andy Hajiyerou. He had a specialty in business and wanted to take a leap of faith and open his own restaurant. In July 1991, the Crow's Nest opened. It has been in service, up and running, for a little over 25 years. Andy had invested his sons and daughters to work and build the restaurant. The menu today was based off of Andy's Fishery.

The Crow's Nest is my favorite restaurant because I love the feeling that I am in a place that actually cares about how my food comes out. The people that work there are the absolute sweetest, they are not rude, snobby, or impatient. I like that it is an old restaurant. I went there for the first time with one of my friends in the sixth grade, once I ate their food, I was in love. They always have a live band playing there so it is also a lot more fun with the different types of music also. If the Crow's Nest ever shut down, I would most likely start going to Houlihans. Houlihans is a restaurant that has food almost as good as Crow's Nest. My favorite food from both restaurants has to be their wings, I enjoy Crow's Nest more.

Do Now 12/15

If I could wear an invisible cloak for a day, I want to be able to save somebody and be and unknown hero. I would try to help any kids that are being made fun of, struggling in school, depressed, or just straight up being bullied. Depending on how bad the situation is, I would not want to get physical. I know in my sister's grade, her friends are bullied, getting bullied, or depressed. I know that nobody says anything to defend one another, so I will be the person to step in and keep the bully away from the victim. I would not want to get physical, because then the kids would get scared. I would rather whisper to someone to do something, but not creepily.
If somebody was being bullied, I would try to tell someone to help them out. Bullies are really harmful to this generation, and people are really sensitive. I would follow my sister throughout the day, mostly because her grade (in my opinion) is the worst and meanest grade. Most of the drama is caused from the boys, so I would mostly just try to keep the grade bully-free for a day.

Do Now 12/7

The class that I would have added to our school curriculum would be a French class. I know that in college you have to take a language in order to graduate, and the three most common languages is French, Spanish, and Italian. I would have to class during third period, fifth period, and eighth period. During the class, I would have the students go over the basic words and learn the forms of each common word. Just like spanish and italian classes, I would have different levels of French classes and an Honor Society. The honor society would go to places, restaurants, and museums to see French subjects and foods. 
The class would consist of a classroom filled with desks, Flag of France, French posters, textbooks, and a big chalkboard. I would want the students to have fun in the class and play learning games with vocabulary and have fun projects that fit their learning style. I would play videos of people saying French words during the class to do their work. In order to show the school that the students are improving in the class is do to projects that show they know the words and how to have a common conversation with someone before they have to move on to the next course.
