Canoeing

I read the book Canoeing With the Cree by Eric Sevareid. This book is about two young men named Eric Sevareid and Walter Port. These men were best friends in high school. They decided to seek an adventure that summer by doing something that has never been done before. This was the first time an all-water trip had ever been made from Minnesota to the North Atlantic Ocean. Their plan was to start in Minneapolis and go to York Factory at the Hudson Bay. They canoed up the Minnesota River and its…

camping trip when you were younger with your family or a group of friends? Well when I was about sixteen, I went on a canoeing trip to the Ichetucknee river with a BSA (boy scouts of America) crew. We had canoed the hole 12 miles which held an abundance of alluring sites to behold. There were manatees, turtles and tons of fish and much more to see. Once a year troop 123 goes on a canoeing trip to the Ichetucknee river which is a long all-day trip that is six miles long. The scout leader told…

In Cold Blood Camp was very fun. But I just love reptiles. So when we did in cold blood I was in heaven. At in cold blood, we got to hold and pet these awesome animals. I learned so much about these animals. In fact, reptiles are one of the oldest species on the planet. I was so happy about it. I could barely keep my feet on the ground. I Love reptiles. In fact, reptiles lay eggs and my lizard had eggs. Reptiles are emafroditas, but the male must fertilize the eggs for them to be alive.…

Passamaquoddy and Wampanoag Tribes are significant to the American history and culture, because they are the descendants of Native Americans and the original inhabitants of some parts of the United States. Not only they communicated with the Europeans, but they assisted the pilgrims as well. Passamaquoddy Indians and Wampanoag Indians shared similar lifestyles. Passamaquoddy Indians played a pivotal role in the American culture, because they were among the first Native Americans who interacted…

people had to stand because all the seats were taken. The first boat me and my brother decided to ride in had a hole in it, so we had to get another boat. It took us a small while to figure out how to steer, but eventually we got it. When we finished canoeing, that’s when we changed our clothes because they were wet and got in the car to head home. We went to a restaurant and ate before we continued our trip back home. The trip was pretty fun, I didn’t really mind most of it, but the only part I…

others achieve their goals. I feel being an PTO would be a good fit. My third aspiration is to become a sergeant in the patrol division. A few hobbies I enjoy include running, playing sports, and being outdoors (hiking, biking, canoeing). My family and I would go canoeing every week or every other week. This is where I learned to love the outdoors and…

Returning to a place where one once experienced an event after several years, allows for the regeneration of memories specifically those from childhood. The article “Once More to the Lake” written by E.B. White, is about a man, now grown up, who goes back to the lake he and his Dad visited every summer when he was a child. Now, as a father himself, he ventures back with his own son. The stage it set for a trip down memory lane, filled with reminiscing about one owns childhood, as the sights,…

The symbol I created to represent myself contains a wide variety of different drawings and words. The drawings represent activities or specific components of my life that are important to me. The different words that go around the inside are values that I believe to be important, as well as traits that I possess. The most important words on my symbol to me are family, friends, honesty, dedication, respect, appreciation, forgiveness, caring, sacrifice, and patience. Family and friends are by far…

coloring in a vial filled with pond water and the result was that it changed colors. The pond water went from brown, dirty and disgusting to light green. We also went canoeing, I was in the same little boat as Joven and Audrey. While I was rowing, I needed to intentionally look at where I was going. I had the best first time canoeing. When one of the other two girls were rowing, I'd surreptitiously rock the boat to see how the girls would react. It was one of the funniest days of my life!…

At this time, Chloe writing development would be centered in the Transitional Stage. Chloe really took this writing assignment and ran with it. You can see how enthusiastic she was about writing this piece because of all of the details she provided about her dog, however, she does not organize the details or the paragraph as a whole, which makes the paragraph seem a bit chaotic. Chloe uses capitation and punctuation correctly throughout the paragraph. In addition, Chloe vocabulary is increasing…
