My best peice  of writing was  Amazon.  This was my best peice because reading an article made it a lot easirer to put together and also I am alot better at writing factual articles than trying to remember what you were going to say.  In Amazon my words just flowed so nicely and it all fit in as one and stuck to the topic.

      1.  What I liked mostely about blogs was when we got to typecolabrative stories.  My most favorite thing was when we got to comment or do free blogging because we got to express what we like to do or what is going on.
      2. What were my least favorite projects was when we had to do assignments.  I like to type, but to write an assignment seems a lot better because the computer is a little distracting.  Also I don't like to share my work with other people besides my family because it is my business as to how it sounds.
      3. I think my writing might have improved a little, but not so much to see an improvement.    
      4. To make blogging more enjoyable you should do more open writing because it was a lot of fun.

    The Amazon is important to the Yanomamies and they would like their Rain Forest to live.   The Yanomamies have had a hard life.  In the 1960�s settlers came and built roads.  There were many illegal loggers, and many sawmills were built they were damaging the Rain Forest. By cutting down the trees the Yanomamies land disappeared.
    When Gold was discovered 10,000 miners came from near by countries and brought many diseases like malaria, influenza, bad coughs.  Many of those diseases wiped out the Yanomami villages and alerted the world of illnesses that were traveling around the nation. After the Yanomami village was wiped out Brazil set aside 36,000 square miles as homeland.  Many people were still mining illegally and had many violent clashes with miners.  
    After attempting to save the homeland of the Yanomamis homeland 10,000 squared miles were lost.  Over a couple of years 20% of the Rain Forest was lost.  Many farmers lost their crops. The boom of soy was made worse.  There was an effort to save the land and its crops.  Since farmers lost soy Farmers moved closer into the Rain Forest and tried to grow more soy.  Now there are more cleared roads.  More land needs to be protected.

Dear Lois Lowry,
   


      My name is Ali and I am in the sixth grade.  I am writing to you about how much I enjoy your books.  You are my favorite author.  I have read several of your books and hope that you will continue to write several other books of different genres.  My favorite books that I have read so far are The Giver and Number the Stars.
    I like the book The Giver because it�s setting is a perfect ideal society that would never happen in our world.   I find it interesting how you come up with ideas ands make it as if might occur in life.
    Number the Stars is my other favorite book because you took the setting of when the Nazis attacked and instead of telling the story you took in pre perspective of a family that might have gone through hard times like then and made it interesting. 
        I appreciate your time and consideration.

                                                                                                                                Sincerely,

                                                                                                                                            Alexandria
 

                                                                                                                                        3/8/2006



    Dear Dominic,

        Thank you for taking care of me when I was sick at home and when mom and dad need to work.  When you came home from school the first thing you did was give me a hug.   When I was lonesome you would come in and sit with me and make sure I was at ease.  Things you did for me were:  getting me tea when my throat was aching.  Another time was when I was in terrible pain you would make sure I was o.k.  For those reasons you made my day.  I could not ask for a better brother than you.


                                    Love You,
                                        
                                        Ali 
 

   As you pick up the old rust tools lying on the ground.  On your hands you feel as if you just burned your hand on the stove.  As you head toward the door you see old dusty gray paint chiseling away from the locker.  When you went up to the locker the some of the dry paint gets on you and you feel as if ice cream was melting on a hot summer day.  Next to the locker is a desk that is just fallen into pieces and needs a whole lot of repair.  On the desk is sand paper wood that just makes you scream.  Finally, when you reach the door you step on a piece of glass and it shatters and goes all over the room as if there was just a robbery.  As you open the door it squeaks.  When you closed the door you know that you just left a dust, old, and moldy place.

     The peice that I think was the best was Sensory Detailed- chilled 2.  My peice had varied sentence beginnings, it had descriptive adjectives, verbs, and it starts with ing words and lingers in ytour mind.  the mechanics were no spelling mistakes and the commas were in the correct spot.
    Sensory detailed- chilled was the worst of all of the peices that I wrote.  The sentence fluency was to long and the word choise I did not have enough descriptive words.  I had no grammer or spelling mistakes.
    In the future I wish to work on making my sentences shorter by having 2 in each entry and  making my sentences with more clarity.  Also, I want to make 2  sentences shorter in each entry, 1 compound sentence per entry and I want to be more specific, measureable, achieveable,reachable, and trackable.
