Resolution

The new year is  the time to create a new me.  The resolution I have for 2011 is to do all my homework. If I did all my homework last marking period, I would have gotten all A’s.  The reason that I did not complete my homework at the beginning of this year is that I would often forget to take out everything I needed from my locker before I left for the day.  To accomplish this goal, I will write down all of my homework in my planner and write down what I need to take home on a post-it note and stick it in my locker.  If I accomplish this goal, my dad has promised me that he will buy me a new phone if I am able to get all A’s this marking period.  I hope to be on that new phone when second marking period grades come out!

Persuasive Toys for Kids

Have you ever gotten an outstanding present? I have but I stopped playing with it. You probably have too. No one plays with one of their toys forever. What do you parents think you should get your kids for Christmas?

    You parents should buy your kids something that will be worth while.
    Kids waste your money and never play with the toys you get them for Christmas or they play with it for three or four days then they get bored of it. They say they like something until they find it under their tree. The other reason they say they like it so they won’t hurt your feelings. If it’s something they like they will play with it. If they don’t like it, it was a waste of money.
    Your kids will not play with a gift they don’t like. You might as well ask them what they want instead of wasting your money. Christmas is all about not knowing what you will get. Most people like a surprise, but others want to know if their parents got them what they wanted.
    You should two or three less costing presents to have a better chance of your kids to like them. Getting something you’ve been wanting is awesome because you will play with it. Your kids might not like any of the two or three presents you get them. You have a better chance of them liking them. They could even like all of them.
    Christmas is all about the surprise. Just waking up to see all those presents under the tree is exciting. You open all of the presents and you don’t like any of them. Some toys your parents should get you are some bakugan, legos, or a transformer action figure. Your kids might like it.

Intro of persuasive

Have you ever got and outstanding toy? Then after a while stopped playing with it. I have and it's a waste of money. Do you know what gifts to buy for your kids that they will keep playing. Here are the top 10 toys for kids.

Dear Santa

Dear Santa,

Christmas is coming and it’s time for presents. As Santa you have the power to grant wishes for all the little kids of the world. It would brighten my Christmas day to find an NBA 2k11 video game for the Xbox 360 under my Christmas tree. It would be good for my cousin and I because it will strengthen our hand-eye coordination.

    I currently have NBA 2k10 for my PSP but it freezes regularly. I will play it when I’m bored, I also play for a basketball team and enjoy playing as my favorite team. If you bring me this gift I will not play it all the time and still do my school work.
    I have no job seeing that I’m in 6th grade and no way of buying it myself. I have a lot of spare time on my hands because I don’t get much homework so, you’re gift will not be wasted. I will have fun playing it everyday. It will show me the rules and how I should play in my games.
    Thank you for reading my letter.

From,

Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is great. You get to gather with your whole family. My aunt cooks the best food and my cousin said he wishes he could eat her cooking for the rest of his life. On Thanksgiving you get to eat a turkey which people usually don't eat. You also eat corn bread, corn, lasagna, mashed potatoes, and stuffing. My family eats a lot because we have about 20 people.

Gratitude

I’m thankful for video games because they’re really fun. I play video games with my family and my cousins. I have an Xbox 360, Play station 2 and 3, a Game cube, a Dreamcast, a DS, a DSI, and seven TV’s to play on. I have about 70 video games but only play around 6. I usually play with my cousin and we talk about what we are doing in school and what is going on around the houses. I’m thankful for video games because it give me something to do when I’m bored and have nothing to do.
