I recently visited Downtown Disney in Orlando, Florida, and enjoyed the huge Legos ® creations there.
Really, they are tremendously interesting. I kept trying to figure out how someone built them and where they put their first blocks to begin these fun displays.
Here are some of the Legos ® pictures I took:.
You’ve seen your fair share of messages on t-shirts, and you’ve probably worn a few t-shirts with writing on them.
Sports teams, music groups, camps, and even hospitals put their messages or advertisements on t-shirts.
They are like wearable billboards, and everyone reads them as you walk by. What message do you want to tell people? (more…)
You learn important skills in essay writing that you can apply to other forms of writing, but are essays always the best way to communicate ideas to others?
When Oliver Wendell Holmes Sr. wanted to save a piece of American history in 1830, what did he do?
Did he write his senator? Take out an ad in the local papers? Write a letter to the editor? Make protest signs?
Although all of those things are legitimate ways of communicating with people, he did none of them yet still succeeded in saving the USS Constitution, an old warship that had fought in the important War of 1812.

In the Declaration of Independence, Thomas Jefferson writes that our “inalienable rights” are “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.”
“Inalienable” means you can’t sell your rights or transfer them to someone else. They’re yours to keep.

Former U.S. presidents John Adams and Thomas Jefferson used to be hot rivals but became close friends later in life. In fact, for the last twelve years of their lives, they wrote to each other almost daily. In one letter about a year before his death, Jefferson wished the ailing Adams “nights of rest” and “days of tranquility.”
Near the end of their lives, they wrote to each other that they wanted something very special. Do you know what they wanted? (more…)
Writing tools for all ages!
