K’s work up to date 11/25/07
K had to write a report about someone from our readings that she admired for her week 18 writing assignment. She chose George Washington.
Here is her report:
George was famous like Ben Frankln. But unlike Ben he was born into a wealthy family. He was famous for being a president, a first president. Being first president is the hardest. You have to be role model for everyone, and if the plan does not work or if you do something wrong you’re doomed. But he was also a soldier, a general and a very good one too. He was so compassionate, so brave, so hopeful, so kind. No wonder he was famous!
He was admirable too. He did so mch for his country. He put others first. Somehow he found a way to be prickly and kind. He was like a hero.
George Washington was such a good person all around. He was so kind to the soldiers. He did not cheat or break laws. He was honest. George was just a good person and famous too!
The next week she had 2 assignments. First she had to describe a room in her house:
My favorite room in my house is the sewing room. I am usually alone and have a lot of peace. Most of the time there isno noise, only my breathing. I always sit on a leather couch that can turn into a bed. But it is also a guest room, so when we have guests I get kicked out. Still, if the guest is family, we can see them…but it’s not all mine. I mean I can’t lock everyone out. Whenever I’m there I sew, hand sew an I love to sew. I love to be by myself, so it’s like my own little pardice. Yes, that is my favorite room!!
Her other assignment was to write a speech for George Washington. This speech was to thank Phoebe for saving his life.
Thank you Phoebe, for saving me! I, George Washington, could not have survived without you. You cleverly caught Thomas Hickey and I cannot thank you enough. You risked your very life for mine, and you showed corage that only very brave people can show. You faced danger that even I would not have faced. Without you, Phoebe, America would have surely lost.
She is progressing along well. This program is so much better than their old one.
Blessings,
A.H.

| You Are a Mac | 
You are creative, stylish, and super trendy.
You demand the best - even if it costs an arm and a leg. |
|
| You Are Austin | 
A little bit country, a little bit rock and roll.
You're totally weird and very proud of it.
Artistic and freaky, you still seem to fit in... in your own strange way.
Famous Austin residents: Lance Armstrong, Sandra Bullock, Andy Roddick |
| You Belong in Paris | 
You enjoy all that life has to offer, and you can appreciate the fine tastes and sites of Paris.
You're the perfect person to wander the streets of Paris aimlessly, enjoying architecture and a crepe. |
| What Your Pizza Reveals | 
Your appetite is pretty average. You don't go overboard - but you don't deprive yourself either.
You aren't particularly picky about pizza. It's so good... how could you be? You fit in best in the Western part of the US.
Your taste in food tends to favor what's rich and comforting. You prefer food that will definitely satisfy you.
You are eclectic, stylish, and totally random with your choices.
You are deep and thoughtful. You should consider traveling to Paris.
The stereotype that best fits you is guy or girl next door. Hey, there's nothing wrong with being average. |
