Old Computers


Author's note: My group decided to write about computers and I did not know what to write so if you have any tips leave a comment.     




If you look at the computers when they first discovered, they look a lot different from now. The first one that was first made was huge it was a whole room, but the ones that we have now they are very small compared to the old ones. Even though about everything has improved or changed since the original product was made. Although the computer might have been the biggest change since the size, and even the material of how it works.

My Bad

Authors note: I could not remember any good vacations that I had so I decided to make one that was not real. Comment please.


“Alright we have 15 minutes, till we leave,” said my mom while she was shutting her suitcase, even though it wouldn’t shut. I walked away to make sure that I had everything. I zipped my up right away, and it was over flowing, a lot but it wasn’t even close to my moms. I returned to my kitchen where my mom was, her suit case was so big it looked like it was going to burst out and make everything fly everywhere. The taxi should be here but it isn’t then we looked at the clock and it was only 2:00 A.M. that meant that we had 2 more hours we were all tired and cranky.

Goal

Authors note: We wanted to write about sports, and I wasn't sure what to write about so give me feed back.



“You can shoot when I blow my whistle.” Said the referee as I set the soccer ball on the dot. I could see that my teammates wanted me to score. This was for all the marbles, if I make it we won the nationals and get 1st place. As he blows the whistle I started to approach the ball. My heart was racing, and I feel people staring at me. Finally I was starting to get to the ball and I kicked as hard as I could. Next thing I knew the goalie dived to the right, even though I shot the ball on the left. It hit the back of the net and I turned around at started to run back words to my teammates. They all started to jump up in the air because they were so excited. That was probably the best time in my life.

Snow Storm

Author's note: In my writing circle we were thinking about the snow, and then we thought how we wanted it to come sooner. 




“Creek creek,” goes the stairs as I walk down them. While I was just woke up, I look outside and there is was so much snow on the ground it was as tall as the Eiffel tower! Even the snowflakes were going down, really fast.  I thought I should start getting ready for school because I don’t want to be late. When I walk in my kitchen, my sister and my mom were starring at the TV. I was confused for awhile, so then I asked why you are starring at the TV. Right away my sister answered me, and said we have no school! I was so excited, I wanted to go sledding right away so then I got ready and then me and my sister went, on the hill right next to our house. It was so amusing, I wish we could, we would get another one sometime soon!

Christmas Cookies

Authors note: I wrote this for my writing circle, and I did not think it was that good so comment for some tips.    


 It is the night of Christmas and we are ready to make some cookies for Santa. We are making my favorite kind, sugar cookies with green frosting and sprinkles. My sister and I are really good at cooking so these will be good. We started to make the batter and we preheated the oven. By the time I started to beat it, it looked really well. The oven beeped really loud, but it meant that the oven was preheated and we were ready to bake them. We didn’t know what to do in the mean time, so we looked through our frig, and saw chocolate chip cookie dough. Of course were going to eat it! After we keep shoving it down our throats it was all gone, and the oven went off again. They were done! After that I got big glass a milk, and we set it all up. Then off we went to go to bed.

Pay Attention to Certain Things

 Authors note- The real reason why I wrote was because I felt bad for Coraline, and I hope that her parents will change.


Almost every single person has gotten bored or they feel like they have no one paying attention to them. Most children feel this way rather then adults, but almost in every single case the adults are the ones that are doing it. This is a great example in the book Coraline. Every ones parent should pay attention to their kids.
   
Parents should pay attention to their kids, because you wouldn’t just want your kid to do dumb things, and have them regret it. It would just be easier if they were to pay attention to them so they would do anything bad. Even though in the book Coraline probably wouldn't do anything bad but still she could because her parents would not know or care. Although if they did not want to have children they just should not of had children if they did not want to pay attention to them.
    
The only good thing about not having your parents on your back would be that you would be able to do whatever you want but in a lot of cases that isn’t good because then the kids might get out of control. They could be bad student in school and they would never be able to move on in life. It would just make troubles for the people around them. When you see someone that is independent and they do not rely on their parents, it is probably because they don’t have their parents back up on many things.In ways this was like Coraline because she would just walk around and play games by herself.  

Which shows another point which would be that for school if you had to go on a field trip and you wanted to go on it, you would need a permission slip. Which on the permission slip you would need to have a parent sign it. Even if it was something that was related to school such as a reading log and if your parents have to check and sign it they wouldn’t want to. There are many other occasion, that this could happen. Although they didn't really talk about school that much but it could have happened, but if she were to ask they would do it and then tell her to leave right after.
   
Some parents are nice, but they don't see that they don't enjoy time with their children.Every kid likes their parents, and just need to spend time with them. Even a simple dinner together, just sometime that they can spend alone with, but with maybe both of them if you have two parents together. No matter what you do, just make sure you are with your family, and are talking with each other.

United States of America

Authors Note: The reason why I wrote this essay is because I really appreciated what our country does for us.


What would you think of USA when you would first hear it? Some people might say leadership, or freedom, maybe even independence. Some people might not like this country or they might not like the decisions the people in this country make. Although I think it is one of the best countries you could live in.

We spangled have many things to make this a really good country, like people sing the star spangled before they play a sport. Also most public schools say the pledge of allegiance, at the start of the day. The reason why we do that is because we represent our country and how proud we are in it.

Some things that we as a country are proud in is that we have soldiers that fight for us. Such as for one of our wars we had a war for our freedom, because we wouldn’t have been able to make our own laws. Also they found for other things that really helped our country. We have some holidays for these excellent things that have happened to our country.

The main reason why everyone really likes this country is that we act like a country. Most people get along with each other, some people do such nice things for each other. Almost everyone has a really good side to them. Also there is so many things that people can do like everyone is very well educated.

There are so many reasons why this country is good, although others may have something against this country and the people, but they should really give it another chance. Everyone living in this country should like this place and should be proud of it, even if we make poor choices. Everyone makes bad choices in their life though.

Soccer

Author's note: I wrote this essay because I really enjoy this sport.


What is a sport that is played all over the world? Well there is a lot of other ones but I think the main one is soccer. Some people say that is it a really bad and sport and others say it is a good sport. Even some people make fun of our world cup team. It is a really good sport, and it can be a hard sport if you play against a hard team. 

One reason I like soccer is because I enjoy playing it, it is all around the world. It can be easy if you are really good at it, but everyone can still improve on something. The best thing is when you are a lone with the goalie and it was tied 0 to 0 and there is only 2 minutes and you score the winning goal. Normally the whole team 
would run after you, and everyone would be happy.

That isn’t the only reason though, if you think about how many people play soccer, there is a ton. There are so many teams that you could play on to play many games and play against hard competition. Also playing in the world cup would be really fun because tons of people would be watching you, and you could win awards. It 
would be a really cool opportunity to have.

The last reason is that in general this sport is fun once you start playing it. You could just get a bunch of friends and play on a team. Also it is so easy to get in a league and play against other people from other cities. Even if you aren’t good it is still fun because you would just try harder and your coach would help you out on that.

This sport really is just an excellent sport. This sport is even all year round, so you could stay in shape and still be playing something that you really enjoy. Honestly even if you aren’t good you would be able to get better.
