Uniforms can be very helpful or very annoying but everyone has a different opinion. Uniforms can be good because students don’t have to worry about what they wear. They can also be annoying because sometimes the uniform is ugly or uncomfortable. Most students do not like uniforms, and I will tell you why.
Uniforms can be helpful to students. In the morning when students wake up and get ready for school, they are usually in a big rush and don’t have time to decide what to wear. With uniforms they already have the clothes chosen for them. Also there is always the dilemma of if your clothes are okay to wear and what other people will be wearing, with uniforms you don’t have to worry about that.
Uniforms can also be very annoying. Sometimes uniforms are uncomfortable and itchy. Uniforms do not come in all sizes and cost a lot of money. Children grow during the school year and buying a new uniform in the middle of the year can cost a lot of money so something that fit you in the beginning of the year might be too small by the middle of the school year.
Most students do not like uniforms. In some schools, students also need to wear certain kinds of shoes. Some students do not like the style or color of their school uniform. Another reason students do not like uniforms is that they can be itchy and uncomfortable to wear.
As you can see, uniforms can be good or bad depending on your opinion. They can be good because you might not have time to decide on what to wear in the morning. But they can be bad because they might be very uncomfortable. Many students that have uniforms do not like them and look forward to days when they do not need to wear their school uniform. So, in conclusion, uniforms are not god or bad.

Types of Homes I've Lived In
Types of Homes I’ve Lived In
Hey. Hey you. Yeah you. Now answer me this question. How many different types of homes can you think of. Don’t tell me. But I can imagine that what ever you are thinking of, whether it be a tiny apartment or a large apartment. A big house, or a huge house I can guarantee you that I have already lived in it.
Living in a tiny apartment with my parents as an only child, life was pretty easy. Even though it might have been a little bit squishy, it was a quiet little home. It only lasted as my home before the next home came along.
I’ve lived in many homes, but I can guarantee you that this was by far the worst home I lived in. Here’s why. The same year that we had moved into the larger apartment, we had a new member of the family join us, which meant that I would have to share my room with her. And I had a small room as it was so I would just have to add more clutter to my room. It had a nice little living room, a kitchen so it was just like any old apartment.
This next paragraph is about my first house. It was a nice little house with a huge backyard. I had friends that lived nearby, and they would play with me just about every day. We also lived near by the synogogue, so it would only take us about 5 minutes to walk there. I think that this was probably the nicest house I have lived in.
Now huge houses might be a little problem because they are hard to take care of. I still like the house and I am currentlly living in the house I am about to write about. This house is the biggest home I have lived in. We are renting out our basement to a lady named Danielle but we still have another play space because this house happens to have a cellarium. Although some people like to call it a sun room. We have a familly room, a living room, a dinning room with an extendable table, and a big huge backyard.
Now you probably understand that even though it may sound strange, it is true that I have lived in pretty much every kind of home. But believe me, you only want to live in the home that is right for you. It could be a big house or a huge house, a tiny apartment or a large apartment, whatever works for you, works for me. I hope that your home is a Home Sweet Home.

OSAKA
OSAKA
most good restaurants only serve good food but Osaka does that and also cook the food right in front of you. I will be writing about all the different tricks the chef does, the food, and being with friends.
The chefs at Osaka do all sorts of tricks. My personal favorite is the onion volcano. The onion volcano is when they stack a bunch of slices of onions on top of each other, then they put some liquid inside of them, and then they light it on fire so a huge flame uproars from the onions. If you order shrimp (you should) the chef will flip them up in the air, and catch it in his chef hat.
Osaka’s food is amazing. Their shrimp is with out a doubt the best shrimp on this planet. Along with the perfect sauce that compliments the shrimp insanely well. Another great item on the menu is the grilled chicken. Now this isn’t your average KFC chicken. It is grilled to perfection and marinated with the best sauce you can imagine (except for the shrimp one) to make the perfect combination.
Even though Osaka is awesome, it is not as fun if you don’t have friends with you. There are so many things to talk about with you friends and the chef! When it comes to cooking and socializing, Osaka only hires the best! There aren’t many things more cool then chatting with your friends over the sound of the grill, and then having random bursts of flames to keep you entertained.
Hopefully by now I have convinced you to go to Osaka, because when you put being with friends, great food, and entertainment by the chefs, you get one awesome restaurant

Dogs are great pets!
Do you really want a pet? Are you having trouble deciding between a gold fish, a dog, a cat and a hamster? Well, you don’t have to wonder any more because I’m going to tell you why you should get a dog. Dogs are the best pets. They are protective, give you companionship and help you get exercise. Does a gold fish do that?
Dogs are the best bodyguards. They always protect you and their loud bark keeps robbers away. Dogs sense danger and will warn you if something bad is going to happen. My dog used to bark when people got too close to me, and the only time my house got robbed was when my dog wasn’t there. He always kept the bad people away.
Dogs are the best pets when you are lonely. They are like having a friend with you. They always give you love, and great company, they cuddle you and entertain you all the time. They are even better than people because you can boss them around and they don’t even mind. A study was shown that old people that have dogs live longer than old people without dogs, because they are happy and have a friend to talk to and play with.
Dogs are great for exercise. Dogs are better than treadmills, you run/walk a dog to the park, then you play with them in the park, then you even play with them in the back yard. With a dog you do a lot of running, falling, jumping and chasing. So if you ask me you do a lot more exercise with a dog than with a treadmill.
Dogs are great pets they are protective, great companions and make you exercise. Dogs are the best pets in the world.

book talk
Death, slavery, betrayal, loss and hope. Unfortunately, Isabel experiences all these things as she faces the hardships of slavery. She is a black girl growing up in (place/year) and faces things that no person should endure.
Hi, my name is Rachel and today I will be speaking to you about the book, "Chains" by Laurie Halse Anderson.
After losing her parents to slavery and death, Isabel takes on the role of taking care of her little sister Ruth. They are both sold as slaves to the Lockton family. Isabel has to overcome many obstacles as she and her sister begin their journey towards freedom, including a war. Every detail of this thrilling story had me wanting more. I felt this way from the moment I read the first paragraph (read first paragraph)
(Read back of book.)
You can find this book in the school library, Chapters and Kids Books.
I recommend this book to people between grades 5-7 who like adventure as well as sad historic fiction.

My favorite book, by far is Cherub. It hooks you right away with all the crime. Has a clear and good point. An is extremely funny. By the end of this essay you will believe me on every thing I said.
The action hooks you with in seconds. With all the crime and stealing, It’s almost asking you to read more. You get that scared felling inside when you’re reading and your favorite character is getting threatened to be killed by a knife. You feel like you’re in the action with the characters on the mission. That’s how hooked you are.
Cherubs point is as clear as 20x20 vision. From reading the first 40 pages of book #1 you already know what this is all about. Undercover children trying to stop the bad guys but these aren’t any children they are highly skilled and train daily.
The hummer in Cherub is so funny you almost fall off your chair. To prep you up after a scary scene the kids will start joking around and you feel better. The funniest scene yet was when Lauren face planted her trainer. I guarantee you will be smiling in parts of Cherub.
I hope you’re convinced that Cherub hooks you right away. Has a good and very clear point. An is extremely funny. Cherub is by far my favorite book.

A Job that interests me
Before you even think about playing in the NBA you have to ask yourself a few questions. Am I fit enough to constantly move for about 30 minutes? Do I love basketball enough to play it as my job? Do I want to travel to different arenas almost every three days? Who wouldn’t want to play basketball as their job?
I am fit, love basketball and would love to travel a lot. Who wouldn’t want to play basketball in the NBA? I know I would be very interested to play basketball as my job.

How to Help a Family Affected by a Fire
When a tragedy happens in a neighborhood, especially a fire, everyone wants to help. The big question is how? There are different levels of how you could help. You could send food, raise money, or even let them stay in your home.
Sending food to a family who just suffered a traumatic event is an amazing mitzvah. When a family has just encountered a blazing fire, sending food may no sound like much, but it is. You could send a fruit basket, vegetables from your garden, home baked cookies, or maybe even a warm lasagna.
When a family has just lost their home to a fire, every penny helps. Maybe the family doesn’t want to seem like they need money, but if you were in their position you wouldn’t be throwing your money around. What you can do, is raise money from the whole community for the family. Then the family wouldn’t feel the need to ask for money.
When a house gets burned down, the family obviously doesn’t have a place to sleep. A great way to help, is offer the family your home to stay in. Even if you don’t have a very big house, it doesn't matter. When you offer your home, you are showing how much you care for the family in need. And that’s all that matters.
Now you know a number of meaningful ways you can help a family in your neighborhood, if they are in a fire. Tragedies happen, and we need to learn how to help make them better. You can send food, raise money, or even let them stay in your home until they are recovered. “Treat you’re neighbor as you would want to be treated”.

Why Travel to Disney Land?
If I could travel to any place around the world I would go to the ‘Happiest place on earth’ Disney land. Going on the fun rides, meeting the Disney characters, visiting Disney land during the night time. This all sounds like a dream come true!
As you probably know, Disney land is an amusement park. Therefor, Disney land has loads of scary, relaxing and fun rides! You will always be able to find a ride you like, weather its an upside down roller coaster (like, California screamin’), a water ride (like, splash down mountain) or a soothing/young child ride (like, ‘its a small world’). One of the highlights about the rides are that they are themed around the Disney: movies, T.V shows or characters.
You have seen the disney character in movies, T.V shows and musicals, now its your time to meet them! When you enter Disney land you will get the one in a life time chance to meet all the character’s. There are many tourist attractions in disney land where you could meet the disney characters for example: Goofy’s kitchen, minnie&mickeys houses or even during a parade.
Everything at night is taken up a notch and especially in Disney land! They have parades, fire works and more! The candy/ice cream shop is opened for an extra hour and the rides are NOT crowded! But, the BEST part is going on California screamin’ at night. The ride is lit up, not crowded (well not AS crowded) and there is wonderful music playing in the background!
As you can probably see, Disney land is a great place to travel to. With all the unique rides, silly characters, and the exciting night life, you will always be having a fun and busy day. I think the ‘Happiest place on earth’ is also the best place on earth!

Dani's colored Essay
Mrs. Hinskie was a teacher of mine in third grade at Bormblume Solomen Shecter School. She was one of my most memorable teacher. She looked like no other teacher and her personality was the same. When she taught you, you knew you would never forget the material or the look on her face when you finally got it right. She was my favorite and most memorable teacher and in this essay I will explain.

Book Talk #2
Book Talk #2
By Josha Rafael
Imagine living in a world where if you’re Jewish living in Germany you get sent to a concentration camp where the Nazis persecute you and leave you to die. Anne Frank did. Her and her family go into hiding from the Nazis for 2 years living with 2 other families. From July 12th 1942- August 1st 1944 Anne wrote in a diary about her and her family in hiding. She explains in the diary what it truly feels like to be totally cut off from the world and the struggles and fights living with 2 other families. The diary is written from the perspective of a teenager who just wants to be a teenager.
By the way, Anne Frank’s diary is actually a real diary that was written by her.
Hello everybody my name is Josha and today my book talk is on Anne Frank’s diary written by Anne Frank. Anne frank’s diary is about when her and her family go into hiding with 2 other families for 2 years. She writes from the perspective of a person stubbornly honest, touchingly vulnerable and just in love with life. She writes about how she hungers for affection and the fights her and her mother get into. She tells her tale with the wisdom of a 50 year old but in truth she is only 13. Now that I think about it, she is only 1 year older than me.
I’d recommend this book to kids ages 11- 15 who like sadness, happiness, love, hatred and just plain stupidness.
This book is available at Book Warehouse, Kidsbooks, Chapters, Mr.G’s library, Mrs.Weintraub’s library, our school library, and the Vancouver Public library.

Book talk #2- Percy Jackson and the Olympians the lightning thief
Hook- Imagine being a regular normal boy one day and the next you figure out that you are a half blood because your father is the G-D of the sea Poseidon. Then you figured out that Zeus’s master bolt was stolen and you are their main suspect. And it was all up to you and your friends to restore peace within the G-d’s and the world.
My name is Maayan Fadida and the book I am doing is called Percy Jackson and the Olympians the lightning thief by Rick Riordan.
Summary- It all starts out with a boy named Percy Jackson that has been kicked out of too many boarding schools to count. At the moment he is being kicked out of a school but that is not exactly at the top of his list right now. Percy has been experiencing some odd things to him like having mythological creatures walk straight out of your history book and having your teacher turn into an animal at the museum. All of these things were answered to Percy when learned that he is the son of Poseidon and that he is a half-blood.
Zeus the G-d of the sky’s master bolt has been stolen and their main suspect is Percy. Percy and his friends have been sent on a quest to find the bolt and return it to Zeus before the summer solstice in ten days. Percy can’t take a plane to where he needs to go because he cannot go in the sky because the Zeus is up there and he thinks that Percy stole his bolt. So, bad things could happen. Did they return the bolt to Zeus or not you’ll have to read to find out.
I recommend this book to people who like adventure and fantasy. I think this book is suitable for kids the ages of 9- 13.
This book is available in the school library

Simple Example of Expository Essay
Here is an example of a five paragraph essay. Pay attention to the colours!
My favorite pet is my dog, Romeo. He is beautiful and easy to care for. Playing with him is lots of fun. He always takes care of me. I have never had a better pet.
Romeo is beautiful and easy to care for. He is a tricolor Sheltie, mostly black with white and a bit of brown. Caring for him is easy because I simply have to make sure he has fresh water and food every day. I exercise him by throwing his toys. Because he is good looking and doesn’t require much care Romeo is a good pet.
Romeo is lots of fun to play with. He loves to play catch. He follows me around the house with a toy and drops it on my foot so I will toss it. He can catch just about anything, but his favorite is chasing a Frisbee. I really have fun playing with Romeo.
Romeo takes care of me. He always follows me when I leave a room. When I am sitting on a couch he plops down right beside me. On sunny days when we are hiking in the woods he always makes sure that I keep up with the rest of the family. He always watches out for me.
As you can see, Romeo is a great pet. I am proud of him and he doesn’t require much care. Playing with him is very pleasurable. I am always safe because he watches over me. Romeo is a wonderful pet.

What’s an essay?
An essay is a written composition that is combined of three main parts. There are three steps in writing an essay. One you have to work out what you’re writing about. Two you have to go brainstorm ideas and discuss them. Three you should go through all of your ideas and separate the good ones from the bad ones.
There are three main parts of an essay. There’s the introduction the body and then the conclusion. The introduction is the outline of the essay it states what the essay is going to be about. The body are several paragraphs that are on different ideas. The conclusion wraps up not just the essay but it brings all your ideas to a close.
You should make an essay plan before starting to write your essay. That way you know not just what’s needed in it but also what you would like to include. Also a good plan is to make sure you know the rules of writing an essay before you write one. Here are some really important rules you should know always one idea per paragraph, make sure that you link your paragraphs together, you will need a topic sentence witch is usually at the beginning and make sure each of your paragraphs only contain one point.
There are a few types of essays such as opinion discuss, compare, contrast or explain. If your essay is supposed to be on your opinion make sure that you put thought into it. If in your essay you are supposed to discuss make sure that you consider everyone’s voice. If you are supposed to compare and contrast in your essay try to find facts that are on the same subject but slightly different. If you are writing an essay and you are supposed to explain your subject make sure to find good information.
Some tips that I think would be very useful when writing an essay are when doing your plan make sure to organize your essay. Once you are done writing your first draft review it. While writing an essay make sure to be constantly using spell check. If you can read aloud to make sure your essay is not just good in your head but also on the paper. Make sure before you hand in your essay that there is a title and that your essay answers all the questions that were supposed to be answered in your essay.

What is and Essay?
What is an essay? Is it a cluster of messy writing looking formal? No. It is a written composition on any subject. There are many parts of an essay that you need to know about. Here I will explain a couple of things. One how to plan an essay, two what are it’s parts and three different types of essays. Let’s start from the top of the list, how to plan an essay.
When ever you write an essay, or any piece of writing, you need to plan. You need to know how your essay will look like. What you want in it, and how you can keep it organized. There are a couple good ways to plan an essay. Before you write your outline or brainstorm, you need to analyze your information and pick out all the information you are going to use. You don’t want to start writing and then have loads of useless information written on your paper. Now you can start an outline or brainstorm. An outline is you writing down what you are going to say in each paragraph and where you will put each paragraph and in what order. Another way is brainstorming. You can brainstorm by writing all your ideas in note form or a mind map or anything really. The purpose is to know exactly what you’re going to write. Next step is learning the parts of an essay.
There are three main parts of an essay. The introduction, which is a separate paragraph at the beginning of an essay introducing the essay’s main points. The body, which has all your new edited paragraphs in a easy to understand order. Then last in your essay you have to have a conclusion. The conclusion wraps up all your ideas and summarizes what you have written in your essay. Remember in each of your paragraphs you have to have a topic sentence. To tell the reader what they will learn about in the paragraph. Now that you know all this information you need to know how you can put it into writing, as an essay, by choosing what type of essay to use.
There are many different types of essays that you can write about. It all depends on the subject. You probably won’t want to write an opinion article about ancient Egypt. In an essay you can discuss, explain, compare/contrast, or give your idea or opinion. Sometimes your teacher will ask you to write your opinion of the matter. Although sometimes they ask you to have the hard core facts, and you just need to explain them. Even sometimes you are asked to compare different things, as I did in this past term about Canadian and Japanese society. Always mention the similarities and differences.
Now you can write an essay! Just remember to plan by using a brainstorm or outline. Make sure there are three parts to your essay the introduction, body and conclusion. And last, make sure you know what type of essay you are writing, is it an opinion? Or should you be explaining a specific topic? Good luck with writing your next essay! Now, all that isn’t to hard to remember is it?

What is an essay?
Today I will be writing about what an essay is, what main parts there are, how you can plan and then write one and finally some different types of essays you can choose.
An essay is a written piece of information on any subject. There are three main parts to an essay that are introduction, body and conclusion. The introduction introduces the reader into the story, the body is the middle of the essay and the conclusion is the wrap up of the essay.
When writing an essay, you must analyze the topic and work out exactly what you are doing. You should brainstorm, which means thinking about a variety of smart, good and useful ideas that relate to your topic. After brainstorming, you should begin to select the ideas that are best suited to your topic.
When you begin to organize your essay more, you should have at least one main sentence in a paragraph that describes what you will be talking about. Your first paragraph should have an introduction, your paragraphs in between, should have a body and your last paragraph should have a conclusion. Be sure to write a plan before you start.
When you have your first draft, review it. This means to check your spelling and punctuation and read it aloud. Make sure you have a title that makes sense and relates to what you are talking about. When you have written a first draft of your conclusion, make sure it leads the reader and makes them wanting more!
Writing all essays creates a similar format. However, there are many essay styles. Different types of essays are opinion, discussion, explanation, comparison and contrasting ones. I hope you learned as much about essays as I have. I now feel that since I know what an essay really is, it is much easier to write one!

What is an essay?
An essay is a written composition on any subject. An essay contains of three parts an introduction, body paragraphs and a conclusion. An essay has lots of information on a certain subject. Writing an essay takes lots of time and consists of many parts, but the finished product is worth it!
An essay has three main parts, an introduction, body paragraphs, and a conclusion. The introduction introduces the subject that you will discuss in your essay and hooks the reader. A paragraph is a section of the essay containing information on a main point (one idea only) like the body paragraphs. The body paragraphs give general information about the subject and each body paragraph has a topic sentence that that starts the paragraph by explaining the main point. The conclusion ends off the essay by wrapping up all the information that was given in the essay, it also leaves the reader a good feeling about the essay.
To plan and write a good essay you must do many different things. While you are learning about your topic you should brainstorm ideas, analyze your topic and finally choose the ideas that suit your essay the best. Before writing your essay you must make an essay plan, in the essay plan you must list the main ideas that you want to present in your essay. Then you must make a rough draft and make sure you link your ideas and paragraphs so that they flow well. After you finished writing your rough draft you should check punctuation and spelling.
There are many different types of essays. Some of them tell the opinion of the person who wrote the essay. Some essays compare and contrast ideas, some essays discuss ideas to the reader and some explain ideas to the reader. Although there are many different types of essays each has a different purpose and should be used in different situations.
