Weird Stories - A Search Engine Experiment

4th Grade Students
4th grade students make up stories (each student gives one sentence in a story making "round") during library class period.  We want to find out the following:
  • Will Google or other Search Engines "find" our stories to index?
  • How long will that take?
  • Which of the sites we publish the stories to gets indexed first?
  • How do we effectively search for the stories?
The three sites that we published the stories on are:

Here, at Dalton's Middle School Library Class Activities; at Mrs. Feldman's personal blog site, Fairrosa Cyber Library; as a public google document page. 

Search Engine Checks: 2/23/2017 8:45 a.m. -- Google, Yahoo, Bing have not indexed the stories yet.  2/24/2017 A.M. Google indexed the stories on Fairrosa.com -- searchable by the search term below. 
Search Term: "savage meme bird"

Story 1 - Gordon House

Savage Meme Bird - Published on February 22, 2017

This morning, I woke up and looked out my window. I saw a bird that flew into my window. There was a big crash and it slipped down the window pane slowly. The bird yelled at me, “You’re NOT MY DAD!” I was shocked that the bird could speak!

Then the bird said to me, “Hey, I’m hungry; can you get me a block of cheese?” I replied, “But you said I’m not your dad so why should I get you a block of cheese?” The bird said, “You’re mean,” and started making an annoying wailing sound that broke the window!

The next thing I saw was that he called a giant gorilla named Harambe.

The next morning, I woke up my mom and I walked into the window and told my mom that I want a block of cheese. But she made me pancakes instead. I walked down to the kitchen but the bird was following me asking for a block of cheese for a second time! The gorilla Harambe was following the bird even though Harambe was 150 times larger than the bird. The bird stole the cheese and said, “Cash me ousside, how ‘bout dat?”

I was confused from what the bird said. My mom was confused THE WHOLE TIME! Both of us almost fainted.

Suddenly I realized that the bird was totally an illuminati and I gave him some fresh-avocado.

Story 2 - Edinger House

Jesus and the Passed Gas - Published, Afternoon, February 22, 2017

This morning, I woke up and looked out the window. It was pouring rain.  My neighbor was practically swimming.  My eyes wandered around my backyard when they landed on something shiny.

I put my raincoat on and went outside to check it out.  It was this weird piece of rock.  I picked it up and something strange happened.  Jake Paul came by, surfing somehow in the air.  Then magically, Madeleine G. flew in the air and dabbed, whipped, and nae-nae’ed. She fell and got run over by a car.

She ran!  Something dropped out of her pocket: A POTION!  I ran to it and picked it up. It wasn’t marked poison, so I took a sip.  Two things happened: first, my eyesight got really good, and then I fell through a trapdoor!  I woke up and Jake Paul said to me, “I am Jesus in disguise.”  Then he disappeared and a cross took his place.  

I passed gas and a bomb fell from the sky to blow me up.  At the last second of my life, I thought, “How could this happen to me?”

THE END

Story 3 - Noble House

An Average Day - Published, Friday, Feb. 24, 2017
 

This morning I woke up and looked out the window. It was snowing like crazy!  Mayor Miranda decided that it would be a snow day.  All the kids who attend schools were excited that it was a snow day.  Then all of a sudden, a giant monster ate Mayor Miranda!!!  The monster stomped around causing fear and destruction.

Everyone stayed inside all day because of the monster.  Some kids could see the monster stomping around the city.  The monster burped and destroyed most of the houses.  Then, Bob the Builder the Assassin killed the monster with a bomb. Even though he killed the monster, he also destroyed the city with the bomb.  

Then, a mutant underwear ate the bomb.  But there was another assassin and the two assassins tried to kill the mutant underwear.  Bob the Builder called the Pink Fluffy Unicorn to help.  But Dumbledore was so mad that he started shouting the elder curse but without saying all the “beeeeeeeeeps.”  

A new assassin, the Poop Assassin, came and killed the Pink Fluffy Unicorn and it called for all the mutant fingernails to kill every other underwear and toxic poop.  The wizard guy trapped the people into the Underworld and killed all the people and then killed himself.  

But then, since the monster that ate Mayor Miranda didn’t chew her but only swallowed her, so when the monster died, Mayor Miranda survived.

That was a Nasty Dream!
