Ohio



















Dear Class,
The non fiction book I've been reading is Ohio by Dottie Brown. I chose this non fiction text because my family (except me) are all from Ohio. Ohio is connected to Lake Erie one of the US's great lakes. Ohio has a nickname and it is The Buckeye State! Ohio has a Mound called The Great Serpent and the mound is 1,330 feet long and about 4 feet high! Two of The United States most famous people were born in Ohio and they were the Wright Brothers! The Wright Brothers were born in Dayton Ohio and they also owned a bicycle shop in Dayton. There are a lot of sports teams in Ohio! Some are the Cleveland Indians and the Cincinnati Reds and they play Major League Baseball. Ohio also has two pro football teams, Cincinnati Bengals an the Cleveland Browns. Ohio is also home to two pro basketball teams, the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Cleveland Rockers, a pro women's team.
I have a connection and that is, i go to Ohio about 3 times a year. My opinion is that the Towering Cliffs in Hocking Hills State Park in the Appalachian Plateau are so big. I think that the state of Ohio is my favorite state because they have a lot of fun activities and a lot of sports! I think whoever reads this should go to Ohio someday and have a lot of fun!






My favorite college football team is in Ohio!!! The team is Ohio State!!!






Sicerly,
RJM

Dear RJM,

My favorite part of Ohio is the peanut-butter buckeyes everybody makes during March Madness and football season! Of course, I've never been to Ohio so that has to be my favorite part. It sounds like a really pretty state, based on your description and what I've heard my friends tell me about it. Did you know that we have several teachers at our school that went to Ohio State?

Keep up the good work with explaining your connections and reactions. Let's see if you can go even more in detail with those explanations for next time!

Happy Reading!
Ms. E
