Personal Narratives

I have been writing a narrative in class and this is what I am writing about so far.

    A kid named Ricky who started picking on me and calling me names.  I didn’t like that and my friend Darrien came and told Ricky to stop. Then Ricky stopped calling me names. Next Ricky got scared and ran away. When Ricky went away we got on the swing and waited for the bell to ring.                                                                                                         

   I told Darrien thanks for helping me he replied your welcome. Then after school I invited him to my house and we had pizza and played video games for a while. Then we watched a movie. After the movie his dad came and picked him up. I think the best part was when Darrien helped me.

American Jazz Experience

 

  I recently watched a performance at the Memorial Theater called the American Jazz Experience. It was so cool! They played the trumpet, the saxophone, the cello, the piano, and the drums. They taught us all kinds of different music. All of it comes from Jazz. Their names were: Daddio, Jim, Mr. Walker, Bobby, and Dave. They taught us Jazz and the Blues.

  It was so fun because they had us get up and do Ragtime and the Boogie Woogie. They even had people come up on stage and do a scat. A scat is a type of song where you repeat nonsense words what the other person says. They also taught us Harmony and Melody. I enjoyed my time at Memorial Theater and I hope to go again very soon.
