Angelique, the Great Writer By: Jessica Lai

I flipped the last page of Angelique’s book. It was the first book that was published by her! It took me two whole weeks to finish the book. Angelique is a sixth grader in Miss Bailey’s class, and one of her favorite hobbies is, of course, writing!!!
Angelique is the type of writer that likes to write a lot because it helps her practice her writing skills. Always, when she has extra time, but has nothing to do, she just writes a very cool book!
Her favorite writing place is at the kitchen table because it has peace and quiet. She is comfortable because she has always worked there and is used to working at the kitchen table.
For her pre-write, she works on her comfy bed because her bed has fluffy pillows to help her relax so she can think better and faster. She likes to sink her back into the nice, soft, fluffy pillows that look like clouds in the sky. Sometimes she might even fall asleep on them!!!
Angelique works on her first- draft in her living room. If she is lucky, she may have the whole room to herself, without anybody bothering her! This helps her concentrate and prepare for a wonderful essay that may come any time in her future!
But, for her final daft, she writes in her lovely, quiet living room because it is all her style: a T. V., a bouncy couch, a smooth, wooden table, a nicely camouflaged carpet, and a lovely bed, incase she is tired and wants to take a nap. In fact, she has the whole room to herself! When she is alone, she can only think about writing because she has no little siblings bothering her thinking.
The most interesting person to write about is Rosa Parks. She likes to write about her because she is really brave. She is brave enough to stand up for black people’s rights! “Black people should be treated the same way as white people. They should not be treated differently. Just treat people the way you want to be treated!” Rosa Parks said.
Angelique also likes to write because it helps her practice her handwriting, writing skills, and helps prepare her for any writing assignments! Writing also helps Angelique by helping her thoughts grow.
Even you could practice your writing skills at home, school, or any where you enjoy writing in. Good luck! Think, write, edit, read, publish, and became an author! Have fun too.

Gabe the magic man

Gabe the magic man he’s all over the news, newspapers, and T.V. His famous trick is CLOSE UP EXTREME. Gabe likes to write wacky stories. He writes on his bed watching T.V. He writes his pre-draft in his living room where there is a big T.V. and it’s very messy. Gabe would write his first draft on his deck were there is his computer and messy drawers too. And his final draft would be on his bed where there’s a lot of pillows and where he said it’s cozy. He writes about extreme adventures. Maybe when he is an adult and he is a famous magic man he can watch himself on T.V., on his bed, while he writes.

Thank you for reading about my friend, Gabe. Maybe next I can write about you.

“Nickelodeon” By: Melissa M.

Nick walks in his room, grabs his journal, grabs his I-pod, and hops on his bed. Every night he writes stories about dragons and mythical creatures. He writes every night in his journal while listening to music.
His favorite place to write is in his room, on his bed, and somewhere where no one can bother him or disturb him. Or, he’ll write anywhere where it’s nice and quiet so he can concentrate.
His favorite topic to write about is about dragons and mythical creatures because when he was little, his family would always read to him, and because his favorite animal is a dragon too!! He also writes because he loves making up stories and reading it to his family.
Nick is inspired to write by reading or by watching TV. Or by researching about dragons or mythical creatures.
Nick is a very good writer he loves using his imagination. He is also very good at writing. But anyway, Nick is an amazing writer; he impresses everyone with his stories.

Xen Xen, My Friend, By Danielle

There she was, dribbling down that court as fast as a cheetah, surrounded as if she was a ninja trying to defeat her enemies. She tries to aim for the hoop, but the other team blocked it. She had managed to escape. Xenia fakes a pass and passes it to her teammate instead, and her teammate passed it back to her. It was as if they were playing catch across the court. Ok, back to reality, she shoots she scores and Xen Xen wins! Xenia feels so accomplished!


After Xenia defeats the team, in a crowd thrilling game of basketball she likes to go home and write about it. She likes to write on her desk while she’s listening to music. Did I mention Xenia likes music? After Xenia writes at least a page she gets ready to go to her karate tournament. She is a black belt and is very good. She aims left, she aims right, and she takes out her opponent like a light.


Xen Xen won her karate team a golden trophy and a gold medal for herself. Her parents are very proud to have a winner for a daughter. “Got to go!” she says to her karate team as she runs home to write about it. When she’s finished writing about it, she blasts the music and starts to dance. As Xenia was doing the Cabbage Patch, her brothers Xavier and Xeryus walk into her room. They feel a little awkward and are a little freaked out, and slowly walk out of her room and shut the door behind them.


Xenia didn’t even notice Xavier and Xeryus in the room, but if she did she wouldn’t care. Like dancing, Xenia’s passion is writing, and she doesn’t care what other people think because she knew that she will become a great writer, basketball player, or ninja one day.
