ALL ABOUT ME Hi my name is Brandon and I go to United elementary school in 6th grade . I play basketball for united elementary. My favorite subject in school is science because we get to do fun experiments. I have one sibling and 2 pets. My hobbies are video games and sports in the yard.

Look at me as a writer I personally don’t really like to write but if I had to choose something to write about it would be personal narrative because you already know all the info

Look at me as a reader I think reading is ok I don’t really like it because its hard for me to find a book I really book. I do really like Gary Paulson though. If I had to pick an author I would pick Gary Paulson

Trouble maker by Andrew Clements There’s a folder in principal Kelling’s office that’s as thick as a phone book and its growing daily. Its filled with the incident reports of every time clayton Hensley broke the rules. There’s the minor stuff like running in the hallways and not being where he was suppose to be when he was suppose to be there. But then there are also reports that show clay’s own brand of trouble making, like the most recent addition: the art teacher has said that the class should spend the period drawing anything they want and clay decides to draw a portrait of principal Kellings as a donkey Trouble maker by Andrew Clements

Writing choice #1 NARRATIVE the first time I went to a hockey game The first time I went to a hockey game we went to our seats and listened to the loud music and watched the Zamboni clean the ice until the hockey players were practicing. When the players were practicing some of them would bounce the puck on their hockey sticks it was cool. In the first period right off the bat the other team scored. Then a few minutes later they scored again. The second period the phantoms scored. In the second period there was a couple of fights which was cool. In the last period a puck came over the wall and went to the guy right next to me. I thought it was going to hit me. When the game ended the phantoms lost. We got home at 11 o'clock. The hockey game was fun and I would definantly go back.

Writing choice #2 fall is F un A awesome L eaves L Ong sleeve I incredible S poky

Writing choice #3 The day I got my ps4. it was Christmas day and there was a big box wrapped in wrapping paper. My mom said that one was last and I wasn’t sure what it was and didn’t want to get my hopes up either. After everyone got done opening their presents there was one left and it was mine. My mom handed me the box. I unwrapped it and look at the box I looked at my mom and dad and said no way in excitement. The next day we went to GameStop to get games. I got grand theft auto 5, w2k15,veitnam conflicts, madden nil 15, star wars battlefront and a couple others. My favorites was grand theft auto 5 and my second was battlefront. I thanked my parents for taking me to GameStop and getting me the games. I also thanked them for the ps4 again after like 40 times. They watched me play the games and they played them to.

Why I chose those three writings I chose my narratives randomly and I liked them because they were about my life. I chose fall is because I thought it was really creative. And that’s about it I didn’t really read through them just chose.
