Mount Dora High School, home of the "Hurricanes," is located in the city of Mount Dora, Florida, approximately 30 miles northwest of Orlando, Florida. Mount Dora High students attend grades 9-12, participating in a variety of academic and vocational programs that include Advanced Placement and community college courses, culinary arts, business and web-design courses, and an agriculture program. Ms. Straughan's AP History class and Mr. Buell's Economics classes are participating in this year's Web Archiving Project. This is our first year archiving, and we are excited to be selecting and tagging web sites. In preparation for web archiving, we created an on-line file sharing site in "Moodle" to view and discuss the proposed web sites and to avoid duplication.

Our selected web sites feature entertainment, academics and community-centered themes and we are adding our own digital content representing various school assignments, including the Holocaust Museum and a Stock Market Project.

  Most writers will agree that sometimes just the task of creating a whole world, an entire universe can simply be hard. It's easy to get caught in the circle of thought that 'your' world has numerous holes, isn't real enough, or that you've left out important details... An easy way around that is to write with others. Role-playing in this context is taking just characters from 'your' world, and placing them in another. There are various sites and settings, many, many places to find places to role-play. Dragon's Mark and the Red Dragon Inn are unique amongst themselves because all they provide is a setting. A world. You write the stories...Along with all the other players. You don't need to create a world, or even a plot. Just a character, and you can jump right in.

  This is the website for a current band that's been around for about 7 years. They're a phenominal rock band, at least in my opinion. They're decently heavy, not too heavy, but not too light. They send a strong message towards the girl/girls who have wronged them, but they do have some songs that have caused a debate that they MAY be Christian.They're a great band with many fans and have lasted a long while.

  Downtown Mt. Dora is one of my favorite places to go with my friends. Downtown has many stores, restaurants, and a lot of fun activities to do. A popular store downtown is B Frozen Yogurt. The kids that live in Mt. Dora pretty much know about this yogurt shop. The frozen yogurt, in my opinion, tastes so good on a hot day, and many times I leave in complete accord. This shop is a diversion, just like everything else in downtown Mt. Dora. Walking into this frozen yogurt shop you are immediately captivated by the store’s style. This shop is a great place to mingle and just hang out with your friends. The store has a complete table filled with delicious toppings for your yogurt. I, and probably many others relish going to this shop and maybe putting the Wii game ‘Just Dance’ to good use! Once I have eaten my yogurt and danced it off I feel exultation. Downtown Mt. Dora is a great place to spend time with your friends, eat some amazing food, and also a place to create memories!
