The bing,

Paragraph Two –
The BING
First of all, my mom cooks the best food on the Fourth of July. We always have spicy, sweet barbequed ribs or chicken. My sister’s yearly request is golden corn on the cob dripping with butter. My dad must have creamy potato salad. However, my favorite item comes at the end of the meal—juicy, red watermelon. Yes, the Fourth of July meal is the best.Slide9
Paragraph Three –
The BANG Next, it is always fun when my family gets together on the Fourth of July. Each holiday my uncles and aunts bring their families to our house. In the morning we usually go swimming in the lake behind our house or ride horses through the pasture. Afterwards, we have a big picnic with the whole family. Then my cousins and I get together for a game of baseball in the front yard. My family has a great time when we are all together.Slide10
Paragraph Four –
The BONGO
Finally, I love to watch fireworks on the Fourth of July. At night all of my family go downtown to the city’s annual fireworks display. We spread blankets on the cool grass and lie down facing the starry sky. Suddenly the night is filled with glory. Fingers of color explode overhead. Great booms and pops fill the night. We all watch in amazement at the beautiful sight. The fireworks are a great ending to a perfect day.Slide11

Writing Situation:
Some students make time capsules to let people who will live in the future know a little about how we live. A few items that represent our culture are selected to be placed in a closed container. This container is buried underneath the ground to be dug up by individuals in the future.
Directions for Writing: Before you begin to write, imagine that you are preparing a time capsule. Decide what items you would enclose that would best represent our society.
Now write an essay that explains why you selected these items to be buried. Support your choices with specific details and examples
