MORRO BAY, California
By Josiah P.
|
Josiah impressed us with his essay. It was a paragraph called "A Day in Morro Bay." From breakfast to dinner, he took us all over town. We met friendly people and saw some wild sights.

POCATELLO, Idaho
By Emily S.

Adjectives can help writers paint rich pictures. Emily used them well. She showed us meandering streams, steaming geysers, and bubbling mudpots.

POINT LOOKOUT, New York
By Katie M.
|
Point Lookout has just one traffic light. Katie turned that small detail into an original way of looking at her town. She talked about how Point Lookout's small size makes life pleasant.

REEDSVILLE, Wisconsin
By Melissa Z.

Melissa showed how a town can create fun times. Each year, Reedsville's firefighters hold a huge picnic with plenty of games. And they create an ice rink every winter.
