The type of writing I found the most challenging was the How To articles because in those articles I had to have everything you needed listed and how to do everything precisely, if not the person doing the wheelie could very easily injured or worse.
The type of writing I found the easiest was the persuasive essay because I think I am pretty good at being persuasive while just talking to someone. http://blackvillewriting68.blogspot.com/2010/05/how-to-do-wheelie-on-three-wheeler.html. This piece of writing is what I am the most proud of because I can pull a nice wheelie and I think I explained how to do one quite simply.
http://blackvillewriting68.blogspot.com/2010/04/finding-forrester-movie-review.html. This link will take you to the movie review I did and I wish I could redo this because there are some things I would have changed if I had of seen them earlier in the year, but this year is almost over so there is no sense in going back to the past to redo it.
I did find the peer assessments helpful because it always helps to have someone else look over your work to find errors and spelling mistakes and grammar mistakes. The assessments did help me when doing my final copy and revision because I could just follow what other people said. I did also enjoy assessing other peoples work. In the blog entry Writing Inventory I stated that my weakness was that it takes me a while to come up with ideas to write about, and yes I feel I have improves oin that weakness because I can come up with a good idea to write about quickly now.
The three most enjoyable activities I did in this course was using the computers almost every class. Not being in the classroom was also enjoyable, and not having many projects to do was enjoyable. Three least enjoyable activities I did in this course were having to write, edit the videos, and acting in the videos.

The Three Wheeler, How It Is Useful
The three wheeler is a part of history that was band form being made, why, because the government said they were to unsafe, but they aren't. The three wheeler is useful in many ways.
One way it is useful is when you are turning you don't need reverse you turn right around on a dime. A four wheeler you need reverse because the two wheels on the front taker up more space then the one wheel on the front. Another way a three wheeler is useful is when you want to do some yard work you can drive on top of the grass without destroying it because the wheels on a three wheeler are quite wide.
Another way a three wheeler is useful is when you want to go down narrow biking trails you can go because the three wheeler is narrower then the four wheeler. A three wheeler is also useful for when you want to do a wheelie because a four wheeler is usually too heavy.
Another way a three wheeler is useful is when you have to work on them because on a four wheeler everything is underneath a plastic cover, on a three wheeler everything is in plain sight. which is cheaper for you and easier for you.
A three wheeler can also be dangerous though because when two people is on the bike the front end gets really light on the steering so when you go around a turn you have to slow down. But on the other hand I never usually have two people on my three wheeler so I usually never have that problem.
The three wheeler is a great piece of history that is obsolete. So when you when you want to pull a wheelie on your four wheeler and can't remember you should have a three wheeler instead, or when your biking trail is grown over some and you can't make it through remember you should buy a three wheeler. You can't buy a new one now, but you can always buy a good second hand three wheeler. The three wheeler is useful in many ways. Three wheelers are just as safe as four wheelers in my opinion and the ban of making them should be removed. Three wheelers are legal to own, but you can not get insurance on them, but you can register them. Three wheelers are just as safe as a four wheeler.

"The Penny" Analysis
http://www.teenink.com/opinion/all/article/9920/The-Penny/
The title of this article is "The Penny". I found this article on the website http://www.teenink.com/. The author of the article is Paul S., the last name is not stated. The opening paragraph does contain a thesis and the thesis is to take penny's out of the money system because they are useless. The opening paragraph did catch my attention because it is written about money and I really like money. The article contains three paragraphs. All of the paragraphs do relate to the thesis because all three paragraphs are written about the penny and what it serves for. No the writer does not use information or any other sources to prove their point it is just proven by the way it is written. The writer does not present other sides to the argument it is only about one thing and that is taking the penny out of the money system. The writer has convinces me that the penny is worthless because a penny can't buy you nothing anymore. Something else that the writer could have mentioned to help back up his statement is that the penny is only worth a cent and it isn't worth making. I cannot think of a counter argument that the writer could have used. I did find the conclusion effective because it is the way it is worded. Ad it is: "When was the last time you bought something with a penny or countes out pennies to buy something? I thougth so." I did not find any grammar or spelling errors while reading the article. I did like the article because of the way it was worded.

The Letter
Dear family,
As I drove in to the state of Georgia I drove to house I bought in Jacksonville. Jacksonville is a real nice little town it's only about 3 kilometers bigger then Blackville. I think I am going to like it here. It looks like the little sleepy towns you guys watch on the old westerns back home.
I hope to see you guys here soon. I think I might come home for the rest of my belongings, then I will be coming back to Jacksonville, Georgia. I am going to buy a new vehicle tomorow just to let you guys now back at home.
I hop this letter makes home before I do because I will be quite a long time driving home in this old Ford F150 thats worn completely out. Well I got to get back to work so I will see you guys in about two months

Vacation!
As I look over to my right I see the 4 three wheelers sitting there idling and as I walk up to one of them the owner came over and asked so do you like this one? I answered yes i do. The owner said here these are all yours. So there I am with 4 three wheelers.
Me and 3 of my friends decide to go on vacation with the three wheelers. We decide to go to Alberta and got to the Edmonton Mall out there. So we pack up some of our clothes and food and we leave.
As we get out on to the Plaster Rock highway we open the bikes up to get rolling and to make some good time. We pull in to the border Irving the border that separates Quebec from New Brunswick and we go in and get some supper and some gas for the bikes. So we get out on the trails and head for Alberta.
As we are on our travels we see a lot of nature and wildlife. So as we go through Ontario I can smell the smog which hovers above the city of Toronto. As we get through Ontario we make it into the province of Manitoba. I heard all kinds of things there, I heard the bikes running and i heard the sounds of horns, and jake brakes from trucks and birds chirping.
So as we make it into Alberta we go straight to the Edmonton Mall and we shut off the three wheelers and go in. When we enter the mall we are astonished by what the mall has there. There are rides as high as 60 feet in the air. So we go on almost everything there, which was great excitement. So as we start on our way home my engine blew up in my three wheeler. It has been quite a trip...

How To Do A Wheelie On A Three Wheeler
First of all when you go to pull a wheelie on a three wheeler you have to know how to drive a three wheeler. Once you get used to your three wheeler and get to know how it handles then you can pull a wheelie. When you go to pull a wheelie you first of all stand up and put your right knee on the seat and keep your left leg down by the shifter then you haul up on the bike and hit the throttle at the same time.
Once you get the front end up in the air next you want to try to keep the bike in that position for a short time. You do this by letting off the throttle and hitting it again multiple times really quick.
Next you should try to shift the bike in the middle of the wheelie because the bike will start to rev out. You do this by letting off the throttle and shifting very quickly. This is a hard thing to do though because usually when you let off the throttle the bike comes back down. That is how tyo do a wheelie on a three wheeler. Remember though only do this when you get to know how the three wheeler handles first.
