King Saul: The First King of Israel

Tessa wrote this for English and History. She finished it today. She will need to proof it later.

Saul

Here is story of Israel's famous king named Saul. There are three main facts about this famous king. Saul is the first king of Israel, he is tall and handsome, and he starts off a godly man but then becomes evil.

The Israelites wanted a king so they could by better in battle and they wanted him now. So God told Samuel, the prophet of the day, to go find the man whom He had chosen, named Saul, anoint him and crown him king.  To be a king you didn't have to be rich, wealthy, or smart, though that may help, but you have to look like a king which means you have to be tall,handsome, and strong. Saul was all of these. Saul started off as a very godly man but then, of course, he got proud of his riches and his power. All of these got in the way of his walk with God, he became evil, and that led to his own destruction.

In conclusion King Saul is rather famous.  King song is famous because he is Israel's first king, he's tall and handsome, and he starts off as a godly man but then becomes evil.

Essay

Writing essays is an assignment that can cause tears at our house. Maybe it does at yours too. Well I tried having her record her essay instead of writing it. She was reading her essay that she dictated to me and I wrote down for her. Here is what she did.

Election

For English today Kit wrote about the election. She combined the election information that her father has been studying with her and a 3 point expository paragraph that she is learning in English. When she was done she choose 3 pictures to go with it. 

There are three types of elections that must happen before you can become president. They are the primary election, the popular election, and the electoral college vote.  First, comes the primary election.  The primary election is where the Democratic Party elects their candidate and the Republican Party elects theirs. Next,  comes the popular vote. The popular vote is where every citizen in the United States of America above the age of 18 votes for the candidate that they think would be the best for the country.  Finally, comes the big thing, the electoral college vote.  The electoral college vote is where every elector of each state comes in to read the certificates tell how many votes each state has given. The three kinds of elections primary, popular, and the electoral college vote is the way the country decided to pick the president of the United States of America.

Canada

We have been studying Canada and for English today Kit wrote a 3 point expository paragraph of Canada. Here it is.

I have three cool facts about Canada. These cool facts are about Maple syrup, ice hockey and Canadian police. My first cool fact is about maple trees.  Maple trees produce sap to make maple syrup and maple syrup is cool because it tastes good and is good for you at the same time.  My second cool fact is about ice hockey. Ice hockey is cool because it originated in Canada. My third cool fact is about Canadian police. Some Canadian police called Mounties ride on horses instead of in cars. Canada is really cool but my three cool facts about maple syrup, ice hockey and Canadian police is the best of them all.

My Favorite Deserts

Kit is studying deserts in science and she was assigned a 2 point expository paragraph in English. We decided to combine both of them. This is what she wrote today.
