Krista Ramsey Introduction Activity
http://www.cincinnati.com/story/opinion/columnists/krista-ramsey/2014/02/15/krista-locking-into-the-magic-of-legos/5521245/
This column was about how Legos are a very popular toy in homes today. It also says that the legos are a better alternatives for kids than sitting on the computer or playing video games. Putting together the lego sets helps kids learn how to problem solve and learn how to follow directions.
“Everything is possible here. Because this is not just the World According to Legos, this is the World According to You.” This quote shows the reader what the legos are all about. It shows the impact it has on the kids and how they use legos to improve there imagination. Legos let kids build and create whatever they want, the option is up to them. Some syntax in this quote is how it repeats itself to show the reader that that is important and is a main point. Also the first sentance is short and gets to the point quickly and gets the point across. This helps the reader understand what is being said.
Ramsey’s writing style is chopped up into small paragraphs or sentences. For example “Along, almost invariably, with a bright yellow bag of purchased Lego products.” this is just one paragraph in this column.
What is your personal experience with the legos?
Where do you come up with your ideas?
How do yo get your voice across in your writing?
