The Patriotics Pen

“Am I Proud of America?”

Author's note: I wrote about this, because we had this as a assignment for a patriotic pen for an essay.
          Am I Proud of my Country? I am proud of my country. I love America, because we are a free country and we have the great American sports, baseball, and football. I wish that more people would play football, like in other countries, but most countries that play a sport like baseball, play a game called cricket. But, football is the all American sport. No other country play's football. So, yes I am proud of my country, because of the freedom we have in our country.
I also like my country, because we have great music in America. And also lots of popular music. I also like our country, because we have great schools and sports. I wish that everyone had the kind of advantage we did. Personally I think that America is the best country in the world.
I like America, because I like America, because we have such a big country, so that the America has more room and the mountains and weather in America are just amazing. I like the weather in the southern part of America, part about the northern part of America, or where in Wisconsin it is warm and cold. The great part about Wisconsin is that we can have a cold winter and a really warm summer.

The American Sport

Author's Note: The reason I wrote this and the reason I want you to read it is that football is a better sport than everybody thinks.

I like football; I think that football is the best sport ever. I like that football is only in America, because then football is a unique sport. Some people say that soccer is the best sport, because they think that soccer is the only sport that is played around the world. They’re wrong; there is more than soccer that is played around the world. I know that there is more than one sport, like skiing, and also cross country.

I wish that I could be in football, and that we had more time after lunch so that we could have a little game of two hand touch football. I will probably try to join football next year if that is possible. I wish that more people could play football in the U.S., but the bad thing is, is that you can get a really bad injury in football.

It is so weird, because I used to hate football, and now after two years I love the sport. I don’t know what happened I just suddenly liked playing football in 6th grade after winter. I seriously don’t know what happened, it’s just so weird. I wish that I would have liked playing football, just a little bit earlier, because when I like playing football, it was right after football sign up was. I don’t like any other version of football, just regular football.

If it is ultimate football, I just hate it then, I only like regular football. I wish that I could have joined football this year. I would like to play a sport that you get to catch or throw something, the sports that have to do anything with catching or throwing are sports that I like. I wish that you could join football at the most a month after school starts.

I would have join football then. I wish that it would be like that. I definitely am going to try to join football next year. I don’t like the fact that you can get a really bad injury. Other than that I love football.

The Math Learning System; Essay

Aleks

Author's Note: This was my first writing piece, so I thought, why not write about aleks, it sounds like a good thing to write about.
          Aleks is great for math, because it’s a self paced math learning website. So if I can’t work on math one night it’s not a big deal, because it’s not like you get work sheets all the time, and it’s not like it’s not some big project you just need to work on aleks and get done with aleks before the end of the school. You could work on it anytime, but the only problem is that you have to have WiFi or wired internet just to go on Aleks and work on it. In my opinion Aleks is the best thing for math ever.
          I also like it because you can finish it and go onto algebra; the only bad part is that it can make you do a problem on another slice of the pie. I wish that everyone could have aleks as their math learning program. I am glad that this year we have aleks instead of worksheets or working out of the book. The good part about aleks is that if you don’t understand a topic you can work on it even more and it isn’t due the very next day, it’s especially is helpful of you don’t have time to go on aleks you can work on it as long as you want whenever you want, you just need Wi-Fi.
          There are many advantages to aleks, because if you don’t get what the teacher tells you how to do a topic it has an explain button. I wonder how many schools work on aleks in the world. I don’t know why we use aleks, but it is a great math learning site and advantage.
