2006 Dragon’s World Summer Camp

Writing and Leadership Workshop 2 Colonial Williamsburg Victor Shen

On August 5th, my family and I left for Colonial Williamsburg. I couldn’t wait to see all the thrilling and magnificent sites! However, on that very day, we encountered a pack of cars. It was a TRAFFIC JAM! For two hours, we stayed on just one road. It felt like we were moving at just one meter per minute. Eventually, we stopped to have a nice refreshing lunch. I ate most of a sandwich, except for some crust and meat. After the meal, I first fed the crust to the birds, hurling it at them. They dodged it skillfully and caught it in their mouths. I also threw some turkey to them, but they didn’t even look at it! I was really disappointed. I was looking forward to seeing them go for it. When we got back on the road, we thought that the traffic jam was over … until we turned onto another road. After some continuous rest stops and five hours of grueling driving, we finally made it! We arrived at the Hospitality Inn where we would be staying. We unpacked our luggage right when we entered our room. The room was fairly decent, but I really wanted to go to Williamsburg and get it over with so that I could go to Water Country USA the next day. However, when we got there, it was 5:00 p.m. and too late to see anything. There were so many exhibits and so little time! So, my parents said I’d go to the water park the day after. Colonial Williamsburg was great! I saw how the silversmith created silverware and how they used the forge to soften the steel. All the trees in Williamsburg are priceless! Their bark is so rich and pure, their leaves gleaming under the sun. The birds fly to and fro, chirping in harmony; this must surely be a place for a good vacation. In the city of Williamsburg, we saw the courts that Governor Dunmore sat in. One cool fact about the court is that in old times, they could finish at least 3 trials in one day. If you committed a crime and were at least 30 years old, you would be immediately executed. If you were under 20 years of age, you would be spared. But, they would use a piece of hot iron shaped in the first letter of the crime and brand you, usually on the left hand. For example, T stood for thief, and if you ever went to court again, you’d be sentenced to death. Next, we entered the Governor’s Palace. The lawn of the palace was certainly fitting for a governor! We entered the actual governor’s house, and there was a tour guide who showed us how the governor lived, what he did for entertainment, and some precious items, such as the first piano ever made in Virginia. After the tour, we went exploring and found a beautiful pond. It had all sorts of trees, such as the weeping willow. We also saw the gunsmith, who showed us actual guns. I really liked the jail cells. We got to hold the shackles for the men and women, and they were heavy! The tour guide frightened me when she said there might still be ghosts where the prisoners lived. After all this action and excitement, my feet were tired and sore. So, we took the bus back to the hotel and settled in for the day. The water park was absolutely awesome, but the lines for the rides were too long! My favorite rides were the JetScream since it turned you around and around, the Nitro Racer because you slide on your belly, the Aquazoid because it’s completely dark, and the Atomic Blaster,

3 because it grinds your butt. My trip to Williamsburg was full of adventure and blazing with excitement. I look forward to new vacations in the future. One thing’s for sure, Williamsburg rocks!

Blue Cheese and White Bananas Cynthia Liu

Being out on my front porch and moon gazing is a thrill to me. Even at the young age of three, I always had a big curiosity for the moon. It was so interesting to think that it was made out of blue cheese, that it had a beautiful face, and that the crescent was a white, mushy banana. As I got older, I wanted to find out the facts. I had this feeling that what I thought wasn’t exactly the truth. So once every week, I googled for information and went to the library to do research. After that, I knew that the moon looked like blue cheese because it had many craters. I knew that the crescent looked like a white banana because of the moon’s phases. While researching that information, I also learned about the work of astronauts. This made me think. Wouldn’t it be wonderful if I could be one of those people? I could explore outer space and become famous. Yes, I could! I didn’t really think about it at the time because I was still too little, and I would wait until I grew older. Even though I had already found out the facts, the funny thoughts are still kept in my mind. The moon is made out of craters, and it has phases. But to me, it’ll always be blue cheese and white bananas!

Deep Creek Lake Billy Wang

Last month, my family and I went to Deep Creek Lake, along with my friend Dennis Zhao’s family. My family followed Dennis’s car to get there. It took us about 3 hours until we got to the hotel because we kept on getting lost. When we got to the hotel, it was 10:00a.m, but we couldn’t check in yet because the hotel people weren’t done cleaning our room. The hotel manager told us to come back at about 2:00p.m. First, we went horseback riding, and it was my first time, so I was really excited. I went horseback riding with my family and Dennis’s family, and it was lots of fun. I got to ride my horse Avon for a whole hour. He has a positive attitude like me. For example, I made him stop walking so he could get some rest and eat some grass, but he didn’t want to, so he kept on walking. I also went to the pool and rode a boat. Finally, we could check in. After that, we went to a beach, but the waves were small. My favorite activity was riding a horse because I got to experience the control of a horse. I liked this weekend a lot because I got to spend a whole week at Deep Creek Lake with my friends and family.

4 The History of My Pets Chris Chen

One day, I went to Petco to search for a pet. My dad said, "I think we should get a gerbil.” I agreed with him. Then, I asked someone to help us. My dad asked if a gerbil came with a cage, and the salesperson said there were two cages. One of them was separated so the two gerbils wouldn’t fight. I chose the smaller one, and it came with one gerbil. I liked playing with my gerbil. I think he adored me. Sometimes, he ran away, but once I let him go and then chased him for fifteen minutes. Another time, we found him under the fridge. We also went to a park. There were wind gusts, and he almost didn’t make it out alive. Unfortunately, my gerbil died. After that, I longed for another pet. Last Sunday, I went to Petco to pick up another cage. It was huge and could fit up to three hamsters, but the cage was easy to set up. There were four floors. The first floor was just an exercise wheel. The second floor had water and a food dish. The third floor had stairs. The fourth floor allowed you to travel with your gerbil. First, I got a male hamster for the cage. I only had it for a few hours. My dad said it was stinky, so he made me return it. I got one dollar back and a gerbil instead. I put him in the fourth floor. I thought he would like to bathe in the sun. That is the history of my pets.

Falling off a Ski Lift Phillip Tran

One day, I was riding the ski lift with my accident-prone friend, Stephen. He has had many accidents because he doesn’t really pay attention to what he does. When we were at the highest point of the ski lift, I turned around to look at the view. While I was turning around, Stephen was bouncing on the seat. It was then that he slipped and fell off the seat into a huge pile of snow on the ground below. Looking down, I saw a dark shadow taking off his skis and using them to dig a hole out of the huge pile of snow. When I met up with Stephen at the bottom of the ski slope, he told me that he wanted to ride the ski lift again. I was not afraid to ride the ski lift again, so I agreed. But, this time I told him not to fall off, and he didn’t!

Crab Catching: a Crab’s Life Alex Zhang

One sunny July 21, 2006, I went to catch little crabs on the beach. They are very easy to catch. They usually crawl around a lot in the sand. I just scooped the little crabs up with my little yellow shovel. Next, I put them in a Coke bottle. I caught two big crabs and fourteen little crabs. They were in an assortment of colors. There were brown crabs, blue crabs, and striped ones too. I accidentally let one go, and the last thing I saw of it was that it was crawling like a spider, but sideways. The one that ran away was the smallest one, weighing about half an ounce. The others weighed about one ounce to one and a half ounces. When I felt I’d caught enough, I brought the Coke bottle home along with my tools. During the night, I accidentally suffocated the crabs to death, and I had to pour the crabs down the drain.

5 Horseback Riding Camp Amanda Zhen

I recently went to a horseback riding camp located in Urbana. There were many exciting things that happened at the camp, like jumping off the bridge into the lake, going on the zip line, a water battle that went out of control, or my first time horse jumping. The story I am going to tell you is about being bitten by a pony named Sunny. It was my second year at the camp so I knew which horses and ponies were bad. But nobody would take Sunny, so I took him even though I knew he bit people and other horses and ponies. Jumping was pretty hard for him and it was sort of hard to jump on him. That wasn’t the hardest thing about him to control. He kept trying to bite, so I had to make him keep moving his head, so he wouldn’t bite me. In the end he bit me anyways. After he bit me, he went to the staff and tried to bite them, but they just kept pushing his head back. But that’s not the only bad thing about Sunny. He also never stopped walking and didn’t like to trot. Then, it was the end of class. After class I started itching everywhere and I started getting bumps everywhere. My mom said it was an allergic reaction because the horses eat hay, and I’m allergic to the pollen in the hay. Even though Sunny bit me that one time, I still like to ride horses and ponies, but I also have an excuse not to ride Sunny again.

Skiing Accident Charles Wang

It was December 30th at Libery Bell. I was calmly skiing and decided to go on a ski lift. I was pretty good at skiing. The slope I was going to was the Black Diamond, the hardest slope there. The seats were icy and slippery; I forgot to put on the safety bar. When I was ¾ there, I slipped right off. I was screaming and yelling. I was about 15-20 feet high in the air. I kicked my skis off and fell on my fingers first. I broke a finger and dislocated a bone in another finger. But, I never knew that I injured myself until I was arriving home. My mom and dad started to examine my finger. We drove back to the hospital and I got two casts. I was not happy!!

Falling off My Bike Taiyuan Pai

One sunny day after school, I was at my friend’s house playing Halo. We both got bored, so he got out his ramp, which he hadn’t used for a long time. I went back to my house, which is on the same street, to get my bike and scooter. “Wow, this is going to be the first time I’m going to go off a ramp on my bike,” I thought. I was totally oblivious to what would happen next. The ramp was just a slope that my friend set up at the bottom of our cul-de-sac/hill street. I just went off the ramp on my scooter a few times, and it was fun to fly off the ramp and fly through the air, so I decided to go off the ramp on my bike. The first time I went off the ramp I fell hard on my crotch, but I decided to jump off the ramp again because I wanted to see what would happen if I went off the ramp after riding down from the top of the cul-de-sac. I got a painful answer. I whizzed down the hill and my stomach dropped into my shoes as I flew off the ramp. When I hit the ground I braked, and then I flipped over and plummeted into the ground like a meteorite. My 6 friend dragged me onto the grass, and after a while, I limped back home. As I lay in bed, I thought, “At least I didn’t get hit by an oncoming UPS truck.”

• Author’s Note: The author has new bike with shock absorbers now.

A Plane Trip Vivien Chen

I looked out the window with my brother as the plane took off from the Chicago airport. Settling back in my chair, I sighed. My dad, my brother Henry, and I are going to visit China for a month, but my mom has to work, so she isn’t coming with us. Despite my sadness, I look around and feel some excitement growing, for this is my first time on a long airplane ride and I don’t know what to expect. I am in a gigantic plane with fascinating things around me. On the arm of my chair, there is a remote control that has interesting features. It is related to the mini TV in front of me, which happens to be installed on the back of the person’s chair. On TV, you can see the flight map, watch TV shows/movies, or listen to the radio. Looking around, my sadness fades away. Henry and my dad sit next to me, and I feel safe. I’m smiling as I settle down and start to watch Cartoon Network, excited about going to Shanghai, China.

My trip to Florida Matthew Chou

When I went to Florida in second grade, it was very fun. I was eight years old. I went to many places in Florida: Magic Kingdom, Animal Kingdom, and Sea World. The first place I went to in Florida was Magic Kingdom. It was a very big place. There were a lot of roller coasters. Some were very scary, but others were not. One roller coaster was called Space Mountain. My mom did not like this ride, but I did. It was very dark, like space, and it was scary. Another roller coaster was a waterslide. It’s not that scary until the waterslide part. I don’t know what the name of the waterslide is, but I got very wet when I got on this ride. The next place I went in Florida was Animal Kingdom. You get to see many animals. This place was really cool. There was a big, thick, but fake, tree. You can go inside the tree. This tree is special because it has many animal carvings, including monkeys, elephants, dolphins, and birds. I also saw dolphin shows. They are really cute. The last place I went in Florida was Sea World. Sea World is the coolest place ever in Florida. I saw a lot of dolphin shows, killer whale shows, and puppet shows. These things were really fun! Florida was really fun because I get to see and do many things that I have never seen before. I really liked Florida!

7 How the Giraffe got his Neck Cynthia Liu

One clear, sunny day in the middle of a jungle in Central Africa, there happened to be a hippo sleeping in the water. Just when she started to fall asleep, a curious short- necked giraffe, Spotty, came to ask Lola, the hippo, a question. Lola opened a sleepy eye and thought, “Why does that nosy giraffe always have to bother me when I’m sleeping?” As if reading Lola’s thoughts, Spotty said, “I’ve come today to ask another question: Do you know what leopards eat for lunch?” Lola looked disgusted. “Leopards? Well, I don’t know. Why don’t you just go and ask Shadow yourself?” Shadow was the one and only black leopard in the Jungle. “Thanks!” Spotty replied happily. “But be careful! Shadow can be pretty fierce sometimes.” But Spotty ignored Lola’s warning. He was eager to find the answer to his question. So Spotty walked the long way from the swamp to Shadow’s lark, which was built on a short, but sturdy tree. “Hello!” Spotty called. “Who is it?” asked Shadow. “It’s me, Spotty, the giraffe. I just came to ask you a question. What are you eating for lunch today?” Spotty asked. Shadow decided to answer in the most appropriate way for this question. “I’ll tell you what I’m eating today, YOU!!” “Oh, no!” Spotty cried. He desperately tried to run away, but Shadow already clamped down on the strongest part of Spotty’s neck. Then, he started to pull. Spotty started to tug. And when Shadow saw Spotty still wasn’t dead yet, he gave up and walked away. Spotty checked to make sure he wasn’t seriously hurt. When he looked down on his neck, he was shocked!! It had grown longer. Now he finally had something to show Lola besides his questions.

How the Leopard got his Spots Amanda Zhen

One day the leopard was hunting for food in the forest. He saw some mice, but they all already saw him try to catch them, so they ran away. The leopard smelled the fresh cake and pie from the bakery and had an idea. He went to the bakery and said to himself, “I will buy some syrup and mix it with some black paint. The syrup will make it stick to my fur, and it will be my camouflage.” After he painted his camouflage, the leopard went back to the forest to hunt for food again. This time when he saw the mice, they didn’t run away because of his camouflage, and the leopard caught them for dinner. After the leopard caught enough food, he wanted to wash his camouflage off, but it wouldn’t come off. So from that day on, he always had his spots.

8 Why dogs and cats don't get along Vivien Chen

Now, this story happens not too long ago, only about 200 years before today. At that time, dogs were known to be very patient, especially to other animals, including cats. There never was such a thing as a dog fighting with a cat, at least until one particular day. It was a hot day in the desert, with cactus and sand as far as the eye could see. There was a faint breeze carrying voices and the smell of food cooking from a house. All of a sudden, the door flew open and a handsome young man stepped out. His dog, a strong alert Doberman, greeted him with several friendly licks. Smiling, the man patted him and said, “I am going to a party right now and I’m counting on you to be a good watch dog.” And with that said, he mounted his horse and galloped away. Fifteen minutes later, the Doberman was looking in the direction his owner went and heard a soft padding behind him. He whirled around and saw the neighbor’s cat walking on his property, her head held high. She was a Persian, with silky fur and walked with a superior air. Politely, he woofed, “Excuse me, but you just stepped on my property. Would you step out for my sake? I’m doing the role of a watchdog right now.” Now, this cat was no ordinary cat. She was proud and stubborn, a cat who didn’t appreciate being pushed around like that. Looking at him, she said coldly, “I have the right to do anything I want, so shut up.” The dog would not give up. Patiently, he asked the cat to move, but she refused. This went on for a while until the dog couldn’t stand it anymore. The cat was just too much for him, and she had worn his patience thin. Finally, he exploded, “Get off my property you stupid fur ball,” and started to curse. Angrily, the cat unsheathed her claws and pounced in the angry dog. The dog put up a good fight, but finally collapsed and fell unconscious. The dog was woken by a shake. Opening his eyes, he saw his owner look at him disgustedly. The owner said, “I thought I could count on you! You’ve disappointed me!” Then, he kicked the poor dog out. From that day on, dogs never liked cats.

Why the Monkey doesn’t have a Home? Janny Zhang

A long time ago, in a small forest, there lived a monkey who did not have a home. One day, it was raining very hard. The monkey said, “I will build a home that is the most beautiful in the forest.” He went under a leaf and fell fast asleep. The next morning, the monkey woke up very early. Can you guess what the monkey did? Monkey asked every animal in the forest to go to his house and play. Monkey had a lot of friends, but when he went back on a tree it started to rain, so monkey did not build a house. The next day, monkey’s friends were mad since they came to visit him and did not see a home. If you could ask monkey when he is going to build a home, he’ll say, “I’ll do it tomorrow.”

Domino’s Pizza tour Vivien Chen

Noisy chattering filled the air. Class D was going to have a pizza tour! My friend Cynthia and I were really excited. We climbed into Tony’s car, and drove to Domino’s. During the pizza tour, we did many things. First, we went into the big refrigerator where they stored all the toppings, dough, sauce, etc. The refrigerator was cold and it gave me the goose bumps! Next, Mr. Mark showed us how to make pizza. The dough was made out of water, yeast, and cornstarch. He tossed the pizza in the air and made the dough the size he wanted. Then, he put on the sauce and toppings, which was cheese in that case. The last step was to put it in the hot oven to bake for 5 minutes. After the demonstration, it was our turn to make a pizza. It was fun, but spreading the sauce wasn’t as easy as it looked. The dough kept moving when I spread the sauce. I put pepperoni and extra cheese on my pizza. After my pizza finished cooking, Ms. Lindsey cut it and put it in my pizza box so I could take my pizza home. My pizza was very good, and my family enjoyed it too. But of course, I wouldn’t have eaten my pizza if I didn’t to go on a pizza tour. I would like to thank everyone who contributed and made this wonderful pizza tour possible.

Pizza Making Alex Zhang

On August 16, 2006 I went to Domino’s Pizza to make my own pizza. First, you start with dough that is frozen. Next you put on cornmeal. Then, you put on all the toppings you want. Finally, you put it in the oven. My pizza had pepperoni, sausage, mushroom, green bell peppers, and bacon. It was very delicious. I also brought home a Domino’s magnet.

10 Field Trip to Domino’s Pizza Cynthia Liu

On Wednesday, August 16, Class D of Dragon’s World Summer Camp went on a field trip to Domino’s Pizza. Our teacher Tony took turns driving us there. There were three people who worked at the store: Mr. Adam, the manager, Mr. Mark, the guy that showed us how to make pizzas, and Ms. Lindsey, who is the assistant manager. First, Mr. Adam asked us to wash our hands and stand in their big refrigerator. It was really cold! Then, Mr. Mark showed us how he makes the crust from the dough using a dough pan and screen, and yellow cornmeal. Next he showed us how to spread the tomato sauce on the dough. He said that we could put anything we want on the pizza. After that, he put it in the oven to bake. The oven was really hot - 477 degrees! The pizza slides in slowly, and in 5 minutes the pizza was ready. Finally, Mr. Adam said that we could start making our own pizzas. I put pineapple, ham, bacon, and sausage on my pizza. It looked really good when it came out of the oven! I really enjoyed my trip to Dominoes Pizza. I hope I get to go again!

Pizza Tour Tai Pai

One August 16, 2006, I went with my summer school class to Domino’s Pizza at Seven Locks for a pizza tour. When we got there, the staff introduced themselves as Mr. Adam, Mr. Mark, and Mrs. Lindsey. They showed us around, pointed out the oven, and let us walk in their giant refrigerator. Then we washed our hands to prepare to make our own pizza. First, Mr. Mark showed us how to rub dough with cornmeal and how to turn that lump of dough into pizza bread by spinning it. Then he gave us pre-made pizza dough and demonstrated how to spread the Marinara sauce. After we spread on the sauce, we put on all sorts of toppings, from Italian Sausage to Jalapeno peppers. Then we baked the pizza at

11 477 degrees F for 5 minutes. Finally, they took our pizzas out of the oven, boxed them, and gave them to us along with free Domino’s magnets. After that, we went back to school and waited to eat our delicious pizzas.

12 Guest Speaker: Ms. Kimberly Geary Vivien Chen

Kimberly Geary’s job is a very interesting one. She is a Pediatric Occupational Therapist. She works with kids from ages 1-7 who have problems with concentrating and balancing. The interesting thing is that Kimberly helps kids concentrate using their 7 senses. On August 17, 2006, Kimberly came to our class and talked to us about those methods that she teaches kids. For example, hearing can be used to listen to music. Depending on what kind of tone the music has, it will put you in that mood. Vision is important, so Kimberly has kids give their eyes a break every 15 minutes. Using your mouth while doing homework, I found out, can be very helpful. Chewing or drinking can help you focus on tasks most of the time. Surprisingly, smell can also help you think. Like music, different smells can give you different moods. In addition, if you’re doing work and your hands and feet start to feel uncomfortable, Kimberly suggested that kids have some things nearby that might help ease the restlessness. If you can believe it, movement and gravity/ balance were the last two senses Kimberly talked about. She showed us the actions we could do to help focus, like sitting on a ball while doing homework. By inviting Kimberly to talk to us, it helped me learn some new ways to concentrate and focus on things. But, a lot of kids are different, and I figure that some methods might not work for me. Even so, I’m glad that Kimberly was able to talk to us.

Kimberley Geary Cynthia Liu

Ms. Kimberly Geary is an Occupational Therapist. She helps people who have trouble concentrating on their homework. Today, she came to talk to us about how to concentrate, since school is about to start. In her presentation, she talked about the different senses. She taught us how to use different objects, such as gum and music, to help us calm down. She also told us that there are another two senses: balance and muscles. If some of the kids have these kinds of problems, she helps them with it. I was very glad that Ms. Geary came in to talk about her job. It was very interesting to learn about what she does as a Pediatric Occupational Therapist. I hope she will come to talk again sometime soon.
