October 29 Journal

Welcome to the Writing Lab! My name is Mrs. Machota and I will be your guide for the next 21 class meetings.
Every day that you are here you will begin your day by answering one of the two journal questions listed below. You are graded on answering the question and writing in full complete sentences. By the end of the quarter, you should have earned 21 points by journaling.
In order to get to the journal, you need to click on "comment" located under these directions. When you are posting, you can click on "show original post" on the left to see the prompt again. You will then type in the box on the right under the phrase LEAVE YOUR COMMENT. When you are ready to "publish" your post, scroll down to "chose your identity", click on "other" and then type your first name, last initial, and grade level and day in the first box where it says "name". Never type your last name. It is for your safety. Do not type anything in "your web page." Then click "publish your comment" which is orange. When you are done, read your scholastic reading book.

Here are today's two topics:
  1. October is National Popcorn Poppin' Month. Imagine being the only kernel of popcorn that does not pop in a package. Describe how you feel about it.
  2. If you could have a candy product named after you, what would it be? Describe the treat and why it should be named after you.

If I was the last cornel that has not been popped I would feel that I have no purpose of living at all as if all the other cornels were more valuble or tasty than me then I would question why was I chosen to be the singled out popcorn cornel out of the bag and until this day I ponder why why am I the piece of junk unpoped cornel out of the bag.

If i was the only kernel left i would feel really sad i would have no one to talk to and i would cry almost all the time. If i could talk i would say "hey you please pop me." "i want to be pop."

If I was the last kernel in the last bag of unpopped popcorn then I would feel very lonely. At the same time I would feel very important and wanted.

IF I WERE THAT KERNEL I WOULD FEEL LEFT OUT BECAUSE I WOULD BE THE ONLY ONE THAT DIDN'T POP. THAT WOULD ALSO MAKE ME FEEL SAD.

Walton.S If I had a candy product named after me I would make it caramel with peanut butter and nuts on the inside and chocolate on the outside.My candy bar would be called waltons treat.I would make the candy the way did because all of those ingredients are the ingredients of some of my favorite candy bars.

If I were the only kernel left unpopped in a bag of popcorn I would feel both sad and scared. I'd be very scared since I don't know what might happen to me. Maybe I'll get thrown away. I'd be so sad because I'd be alone and maybe get jealous of the popcorn that did pop.

If I had a candy product named after me I would feel proud. I would be happy that I have made such an achievement in life to get this neat award. The candy product would probaly be some sort of chocolate bar because I love choolate. It would probaly have a caramel filling too. It would be named The Landon Bar because it is chocolate and I love chocolate.

If I was the only kernal unpopped in a popcorn bag. I'd feel pretty lonely because all of the other kernals are popped and I'm just hard and I can't be eaten. Plus if I was a popcorn kernal all my friends would be together getting ready to be eaten. Yet I'f be thrown in a waste basket.

If I was the last kernel I would feel sad because they probably forgot and they really didnt mean to forget me.Another reason is because they was probably in a rush so they just for me.So thats why I think they forgot me.
