= = welcome to my wiki page! toc hello there my name is JorgeD and im a student at esteban torres high school. :) we are going to be posting our writing from

writing workshop on this page. hope my writing is interesting to read and hope you have fun reading it : I will never forget something that happened in school when I was in 3rd grade. I was playing with my friends in the playground while some construction workers were putting some material to cover the ground. After they finished putting the materials, they left and we started playing with some little small rocks. When we were playing with the small rocks we were throwing them to each other. Then some teacher yelled at me and at my friends because of the actions that we did. Then we all started crying because she took us to the principal’s office and I felt very sad because I’ve never gone to her office. After me and my friends got detention I started crying even more. I was really scared and I thought that she was going to call my mom but she didn’t because she said that we were small and we don’t need a big punishment. After what she said I felt very relieved because I knew that I was not in trouble. And from that time we learned a big lesson we learned to don’t play with dangerous things because we could get in trouble again.

I have read several books of Captain Underpants by Dave Pilkey. I have read several books of his. Iv'e read Captain Underpants and The Perilious plot of Poopypants and several other books. In this book the main characters of this book is "George and Harold" they are some teneagers that go to school and they always get in trouble.

To me George and Harold are some young kids that are almost going to fully develope but they are still imature. I would recommend this book to all the people that like joke and action books﻿ like this one and i would not recommend this to people that dont like joke books because this book is very funny, and he made some good books for people to read like this one was very interesting.

=WORLD POETRY DAY/ TWITTER 5 YEAR ANNIVERSARY POEM=

My bike is clean just like my neighbors car.

**I was surprised when/angry about/satisfied with/moved by/incredulous at/... ** **I liked the way the author ** **If I were the author I would have ** **This book reminded me of ** **I wish that ** =**I rated this one (110) ** =

I was suprised when the main character from the book border crossing left his little country just to visit the united states and to see his mother. I liked the way the author included important facts about the main characters and about the important locations that they were in. If i were the author i would include some other important facts about his life like saying how old was he and how many family members he had in mexico. This book reminded me of the time my mom came to the united states when she was around 20 to come see if she could of get a better life and she did just like the guy from the story. I wish that the story included more facts about what part of mexico he was born in and how old was he when he came to the united states. I rated this one a 5 because it showed good details but it it did not show the main details about the book and of the main characters.

(summary of article- between 3-5 sentences long)  "Long Spells at Screen Create Health Risk" was an article that looked at the effects of prolonged computer and television use on the human heart. The chances of having heart issues double when four or more hours a day are spent in front of either a computer or television. Initially it was thought that exercise could offset the heart issues, but now it appears that does not make a difference. The main probelem stems from the bodys inability to create an exzyme called lipoprotein lipase which helps to break down cholosterol. This enzyme is not created during periods of low or no activity (sitting infront of the tv or computer).

=Article #1 - corvette c6.r engine: state-of-the art small block v-8= "Corvette c6.r engine : state-of-the art small block v-8" was an article about how to build a engine. The corvette engine is a racing engine that has a 500 horsepower and it has the key componenets of the ls7.r racing engine and that makes the car go very fast. and it also has two intakes that provide maximum strenght. the car has many racing structures that might be the best ones that are in the united states. and the engine is lubricated with alot of oil.

1. the article has many facts about engine structure. 2.There is two intakes in the engine. 3.intakes are located in the bottom of the engine. 4.any car could have a intake in the engine.

I enjoyed reading this article. I think that the article included many facts about cars intakes and many car structures.Cars are many peoples transportation to the market or to the park or somewhere fun. Thats why everyone needs a car with a engine and intake for the car could go very fast in the freeways or in street races.And some racing cars become very famous in the streets and in some of the racing places you get know very much because of your car or because your a good racer in the streets or in your neighboor hood.

=How To Make Your Own Cold Air Intake= =Jorge Duarte= Making your own cold air intake has been around for some years now. You could make it out of many materials but the most important material is the big pipes. The intake has to go through the engine for it could run faster and for it could make a loud racing noise. In other words a car needs a intake for the engine could breath because if the car does not breath the engine is going to mess up and the car is not going to run anymore. And also if the intake is bigger it provides more better strenght to the car and some noise to. We all think that putting intakes in your car is illegal but it is not and some cops consider it illegal because it does a'lot of noise and the noise sometimes gets annoying or it sometimes scares people or animals because of the vibration of the exhaust and the noise. You could also put a cold air intake on any car or trailer but it looks more better in cars because their small and they need to run faster and minivans and trucks are too big so they just stay regular and i recommend for people to get intakes in cars only in big trailers because they need to run fast too :)

=Definitions= 1.intake: is a metal tube that provides maximum strenght to a car. 2.car: a car is a piece of metal that includes wheels and many other stuff. 3.muffler : provides strenght to the car for it could travel faster. 4.minivans: they are trucks that have bigger stuff and bigger room then a car. 5.engine: a engine is a metal material that provides the car for it could run or for it could move. 6.motor: a motor is a big heavy part of the car for it could run.
