Why Martin Luther King Had His Speech At The Lincoln Memorial

 

This is why I think Martin Luther King did his famous I have a dream speech at the Lincoln memorial.  I think it’s because they both wanted all Americans to have equal rights.  The speech was basically a reminder of what Abraham Lincoln said.  King’s speech was about everyone in America should have equal rights.  Abraham also wanted everyone to have equal rights.  King finished what Lincoln started.

 

The speech talks about how Rosa Parks did not give her seat on the bus, and how it was ridiculous to throw someone in jail for it.  All King wanted was for people to have the same rights as everyone, a lot like what Lincoln wanted.  That is why I think Martin Luther King wanted his speech at the Lincoln memorial.

Things To Do On A Skateboard

 

     Skateboarding is one of my favorite activities that I do.  You can skate by simpily getting yourself a skateboard, it isn’t that hard.  Skating takes a lot of practice, but sooner or later, you get the hang of it.  There are a lot of tricks you can do on skateboards, I will tell you some of them.  The first trick most skaters learn, is the ollie.  An ollie is when you crouch down on your skateboard, and you shove your left foot down, while you jump.  It sounds complicated, but it’s really not.  The next trick is the shove it.  It’s done just as it sounds.  This trick is a little bit harder, what you need to do is jump in the air, and shove you’re skateboard down, and twisting it.  It sounds very hard, but again it’s not that hard.

 

Whenever I skate, I like to do tricks.  If tricks aren’t your thing in skating, their are many more things to do.  If you want, you can go to a skatepark, many skaters go to a skatepark to test their skills.  What you can do there is halfpipes, ramps, jumps, and railings.  ramps our the easiest things to do, you get on your  skateboard, and just like you’re on scooter take one foot off, and push the ground.  Keep on pushing until you get to the ramp, and then get your balance, and prepare to go down.  Halfpipes, are underground two sideded ramps.  There is a half a ramp on one side, and guess what, another half ramp on the other side.

 

To do a Halfpipe, you drop your  skateboard in the halfpipe, and push with your foot, and you go up the one side, and then you go down and you go up the other side, and it keeps going until it loses speed.  On a jump you zoom up to whatever you’re trying to jump, and jump on it than you fall off.  That’s how you do that.  Railings are the hardest  things to do at a skatepark.  First you need to jump on the rail, twist you’re skateboard so the rail is grinding the wood, and than jump of.  They can take a long time to master.

 

Another thing that’s fun is just going down your sidewalk.  Run to wherever you feel comfortable, and jump on your skateboard, and just go down the sidewalk.  As you get more comfortable, you can go higher, and higher.  Make sure you watch out for stones on your  way down!  If you are a beginner, it’s better to get pads, so if you fall you don’t get hurt.  Skating is a very fun thing a lot of people like to do, including me, and I hope you like to do it to.   

 

This VR was about the Amazon, and the Amazon river.   I saw many things while I was in the VR, VR is so amazing, if you don’t know what VR is, it is when you go into another world.  You can go anywhere you want in the world!!!  Virtually that is. ?

I’m Not BAD!!! The Pigs Are!!!

By:  Ashton, Tyler, and Kate

 

Hello, I am the wolf.  All of you know the story of the three little pigs, and the big bad wolf right? But now I am going to tell you the true story.  I was walking in the woods, when I saw 3 houses, one made out of straw, one made out of sticks, and the last one is made out of bricks.  I wanted to be friends, so then I went to see if they were home. I had NO idea that they were pigs, ham is my favorite food, and I was feeling hungry.

When I went to the first pig’s door and knocked on his little straw house, I noticed it was unsteady.  He told me not to come in, and threw some seeds through the window.  He told me to plant something with them, but the pig didn’t know that I was allergic to seeds, so I huffed, and I puffed, and I sneezed the house down…  Only to see the pig, dead, in the middle of a pile of straw.  And since ham is my favorite food, I gobbled him up.

When I went to the second pig’s door and knocked on his medium stick house, I realized it was a little unsteady.  That pig who was nicer let me inside, and when I saw him, it was hard to resist the fat little pig.  I raced toward him, but then I stopped in front of a plate full of cookies.  I am allergic to cookies, I started to run outside the house before I sneezed, but it was too late.  I sneezed.  I blew the little house down, and saw the other pig laying on the ground.  And though I was full, I still gobbled him up, and set of to the next pig’s house.

At this point I new the other one was a pig, so instead of making a friend, I tried to break into his sturdy brick house.  He did not let me in, and I think I kind of raged.  So this time instead of sneezing, I actually huffed, and puffed, and blew!  Of course I couldn’t knock down that house, so I started climbing up the side of the huge brick house.  But that little pig was ready!  He made a quick fire, and put a pot of boiling water on top of the fire.  I was very stupid in my young age, and I didn’t look before I jumped.  So when I went down the chimney, my bottom turned red.  I ran out of the pig’s house screaming, and from then on, I never ate ham, unless I bought it and cooked it.  THE END!!!
