St. Patrick's day history By: Courtney Derrick
St. Patrick's day is a holiday that has been celebrated for thousands of years. It's originally to celebrate Saint Patrick. St Patrick is one of the patron saints of Ireland. He is said to have died March 17 in or around the year 493. He grew up in Roman Britain, but was captured by Irish raiders and taken to Ireland as a slave when he was a young adult. After some years he returned to his family and entered the church, like his father and grandfather before him. People believe that on St Patrick's day if you wear green you will blend in with leprechauns and fairy's (for no odd reason). People began pinching people who don't wear green as a reminder that leprechauns would sneak up and pinch green-abstainers. St Patrick's day is mostly celebrated by Irish people, and even though St Patrick's day isn't the most celebrated holiday, it is still fun to get to pinch your siblings when you don't wear green!

Nice job Courtney! I thought it was really good! I like how you told us about why people wear green on St. Patrick's Day! I also liked your wording throughout the paragraph. You did really good! I couldn't really find anything wrong with it, but maybe put the title in the middle of the page. Good job! :)
ReplyDeleteGood job! I like your concluding sentence it is pretty funny. One thing you could add is citation, but your writing is still really well done.
ReplyDeleteGreat job Courtney!! That was supper good! On thing I would say to fix is put a tab at the beginning of the paragraph. But over all it was really good!!
