Blog-Post Assessment

Buffalo Wild Wings
Buffalo Wild Wings is my favorite restaurant. It is located at 470 Harmon Meadow Blvd, Secaucus, NJ. This location is very close to where I live. The restaurant serves typical bar food like buffalo wings, fries, burgers, chicken, and beer. Every time I go I like to get a basket of fries, 12 medium sauced wings, and sweet tea.






Buffalo Wild Wings was found by James Disbrow and Scott Lowery. The first B-Dubs was opened in Columbus Ohio. It was originally named Buffalo Wild Wings and Weck. They later decided to franchised the company. Today the company has over 600 locations in the US and they are planning to expand into Canada.
This is my favorite restaurant because I enjoy the food, service, and atmosphere. The food is amazing. The service always check on you and make sure your glass is filled. I feel that there is so much excitement coming from the sport fans watching their favorite sport. If this restaurant closed down I would start going to Popeyes.

Do Now Writing Prompt

If I was a teacher, I would add a Minecraft class. The class would be a elective that anyone can take. The class would consist of 15 to 20 students and a teacher. Each student would have a laptop with Minecraft installed. Minecraft can be used to teach students about architecture. Minecraft allows students to build whatever their minds can think of.

The class should be taken any period of the day except 7th because that's Web 2.0. The teacher assess the students on there creativity and participation. This is a relevantly easy class but it gives students the option to explore an architectural career.

My Weekend


Over the weekend, I mostly stayed home. On Wednesday, my mother took me to Gamestop where I picked up Call of Duty Advanced Warfare. Then the rest of the week I played Call of Duty. My dad took me to Popeyes and McDonalds for lunch. I finished the campaign of the game and leveled up to second prestige. Then on Sunday, we had a basketball game. We lost to a mediocre team because of the sophomores and the freshman center (EP). After the game, I went home and did all my homework.
