Today's blog challenge is to choose the top 3 (of anything) and justify your choice. You may choose the top three hockey players of all time, the greatest musicians, the top three reasons to do something...the possibilities are endless. Here is a suggested sequence of events for the blog:
1. Choose your topic
2. Choose the criteria you are using to make your choices, and explain it to the reader. For example, if you are ranking the top three hockey players, how are you choosing to judge them? Points scored? Plus/minus rating? Years in the league? Stanley Cups won?
3. Type your blog out by first explaining the topic you have chosen, and the criteria for your choices. Then state each of your top three choices, and dedicate approximately a paragraph to each one that justifies why it deserves the ranking you gave it. As always, formal language and proper spelling and grammar applies.
Top 3 Places I've Been
1. New York City
2. North Carolina
3. Florida
I am ranking these by the interesting things I saw in the State.
New York was the my top choice because I was walking around Times Square and Ground Zero. I was also around the Twin Tower's Monument with the eternal flame burning right beside it. I was in Manhattan and it was really awesome, we went into the HUGE Macy's. 7 stories high, and a New York block long. It had everything! I was also there with my lacrosse team so that was really fun. We went into a big candy store in the Rockefeller, it was good for the ride home. we also saw the "naked cowboy" and he was playing his guitar in times square. That is why New York was my favorite choice.
North Carolina is second because it was really good for the lacrosse and the University tours we went on. The fields were really really nice and I've been there twice and its been the same. In the Freshmen year, when I first started a lacrosse program which allowed me to go here, it was the first trip I had been on with the team, so naturally, it made it a good experience. We went to UNC ( University of North Carolina) and it was a very good tour. We got to see a lot and again, it was the first tour I had been on with the program. The second University we toured, was DUKE. It was really interesting to see the old buildings that were stationed there. North Carolina has definitely earned the second place spot.
Florida is third because it was good too see everything there and it was just a fun place to be in. I went there with my lacrosse program again, and it was really fun. It was a tournament there and we ended up getting second I believe. So that made it pretty awesome. While we were there, we went to a Tampa Bay Lightning game against the New York Islanders. It was my first ever NHL game so I was pretty exited for it. It was also the first game Tampa Bay had played with there new name, The Bolts. So it was cool to be in the atmosphere. But the biggest reason why my third choice is Florida, is because the palm tree's there were so cool!
New york sounds amazing Ive always wanted to go there and see Wall Street and the Rockefeller. New york is one of my top places to go in the world and i was to experiance it. Ive never actually thought much about north carolina but the universities sound really cool and its cool that you got to go there for your first trip. Florida is a beautiful place, ive been there before and the trees are really cool i wish penticton had the palm trees... and the beaches. The tampa game must have been cool ive never been to a NHL game but the atmosphere and the noise would be super fun and energizing, Have you been to any new places that top these three?
ReplyDeleteYour blog is very creative you give an interesting explanation on each of the states you have visited. I am interested in the New York explaination the best because I am hopefully going there and to manhattan for spring break. It seemed like you explained what you specifically liked about them very well. It is really cool how you got to go to these places for lacrosse I think that is pretty sweet. awsome blog :)
