January 17 Journal

Today is your last day in the Writing Lab. On Monday, you will report to Ms. Koehler in the Art Room. I just want to tell you that I am so blessed to get to know each and every one of you. You have grown as a writer and it is my hope that you will continue to write. If you ever need anything, I will always just be an email away and remember: "Once a Machota- ALWAYS a Machota!"
  1. Benjamin Franklin was born on this day in 1706. He once flew a kite during a thunderstorm to prove that lightning is a form of electricity. Was this a wise thing to do? Explain.
  2. Describe how even a small child can show courage.
  3. Have you ever tried Chinese food? If so, what is your favorite dish?

    No it was not a wise thing to do because when you hold on to a kite when lightning hit's it then you start to get hit by lightning also. So I'm saying it's a bad thing to get hit by lightning.
