What I am Passionate About/Rough Draft 2

 I am passionate about country music. Everyday when I get home from school I turn on the radio and listen to Kix101.5. To me it feels like I am in my own world doing what I want to do. Country music is like the best of the best in music history. 

 I am not only passionate about country music, I am also passionate about jazz music too. Just to use some background knowledge, did you know that jazz came from the African American heritage? And did you know that jazz was very popular music all across the country around the 1920s? Well, if you didn­t you should review your history! 

 I am not only passionate about music I am also very passionate about art as well. Every time I get a pad of paper and a pencil I always start to draw. I really don­t know what I am going to draw, but the drawings seem to turn out cool.

 These are really the three main things I am really passionate about. What are you passionate about?

Blogging Reflection

     I read a post Mrs. Davis wrote on the Thinking and Writing Wrinkles website. I really am tickled pink that Mr. Richardson's class  is going to just teach us "indirectly". I also liked how the students wrote to each other and told their friend in detail how they need to revise their story. These tremendous student voices really helped us to write a very well written comment. I think after this "project" we will be blogging  like maniacs! Well this ends our one-of-a-kind blogging experience!!!

The Investigation

I read an article from TFK about an investigation from the war on Iraq. U.S. officials are asking if the information given to them is correct. The information was that Iraq and their former leader Saddam Hussein had dangerous weapons there. David Kay went looking for those weapons, but found none. (David Kay : top weapons inspector)

American people are asking why there was a failure in intellligence that led to the war in Iraq. Still right now, government officials can't find the weapons.

Describe how you feel about the situation.

Draft 2/ "Woolgathering"

  One day I was walking in the park. My mom said to be home at six, but I was woolgathering. I was thinking about me being on a dog-eared page of a book. I thought this place was going to the dogsfat cat looking up. I looked up too, and it looked like it was going to rain cats and dogs. Just then  the fat cat looked at me and said," Are you a man or a mouse?" he asked in a demanding  voice. I couldn't reply just then, but he also said I was a silly goose and a big frog on a small pond. Just then I felt something touch me. I looked and there was my mom standing in front of me with a watch. I looked at the watch and it was 8:30 p.m.! I wanted to break the silence,  but I didn't know what to say. So I said,"Um ...he.. Hello. I'm .. late to get home ." She gave me the eagle eye and I immediately knew I was going to be in the doghouse!
