November 15 Journal

Welcome. When you are done with your journal move into Study Island. After 30 minutes I will go into Direct Instruction to discuss your next assignment.
  1. Today is America Recycles Day. Imagine that you've just invented a machine that recycles a common everyday item by turning it into something fabulous. Write about what your machine recycles and what the items become.
  2. Pretend that your teacher is moving away and your principal has asked you to write a help wanted ad for a new teacher. What would your ad say?

If i invented a machine to recycle all common everyday items, the would would probably be alot less poluted. It'll recycle basically everything recycleable, and then turn it into anything you'd like by pressing a button. But, of course it'll only turn things into what it's capable of.For an example, it wouldnt turn a peice of newspaper into a bench,nor would it turn wood into a milk jug.

If I had a machine that recycles everyday items into something fabulous, it would turn paper into diamonds because paper is found laying around all the time so instead of throwing it away and wasting it, it can be turned into expensive diamonds.

If I had A recycling machine it would turn all metal to cars and all paper back to wood.All the glass my machine would get would turn into expensive potter.
Everything my machine makes for me will be sold and I will get rich off of it.
