Hey, do you know a lot of things about New York, well I do because we have a class assignment about states and the teacher gives you a state and my teacher gave me New York and if you want to know a lot of things get ready because I have a lot of information. Here we go.
When I was doing research I found out that New York’s state bird is the Blue bird, and let me tell you I didn’t know that in fact I probably don’t know most of these things. Anyway, I did know that the capital is Albany and I really knew that for a fact. What I was surprised at was the population the population is 19,254,630 well that was the population in 2005. Also if you want to go fishing in New York try to catch a Brook trout because that is the states fish and if you want a garden buy roses because that is the states flower, oh and should have told you this in the beginning the date of statehood is July 26, 1788. Also I should have told you that the abbreviation is NY but you probably know that already. Oh and I also found out that the nickname is The Empire State, and the tree is Sugar Maple. Remember when I told you to buy roses for a garden. Well when you get your garden ready watch out for ladybugs because that is the state insect. If you love gemstones try to find the Garnett because that’s the state Gemstone. Also the state motto is Excelsior, and last but not least the area is 54,475 square miles. Well I hope you enjoyed my information I have to go, bye.
I didn't know all those things about New York either. You did a good job researching and writing your post. I can tell you paraphrased the information you found? Do you what paraphrase means?
