LOUIS ARMSTRONG AND ME
Louis Armstrong and I have both worked hard to change the
way people think about things. Louis Armstrong worked
hard to change the way people thought about his music. I
have worked hard to change the way people thought about
the Indian dance I did in the variety show at my school.

AGREEd IT wAS A GOOd IdEA SO wE ALL wENT TO SANyA’S
house and had a lesson with her mom. we learned the first
four steps in the Indian dance she said to practice at
home and at recess. When I got home I felt so determined
to make people feel and think about the show I put on so I
decided I would practice at home, recess and at lessons.
Later the next month a day from the variety show we
were doing a final practice in front of an audience (my
family) I was excited! Once we preformed I felt good
about the dance. But even after the dance I practiced
even though it was just a day away. At the variety show
