January 18 Journal

Today is your last day in the writing lab and I am very proud of you all. This quarter you pushed yourself and did a ton of writing. I am blessed that I got to know each of you and I hope that you continue to carry the things you have learned in here into your language arts classes as well as any other class you may have to write in. Don't forget to turn in any Study Island journals, get rid of red triangles, and finish any essays. Last but not least, "Once a Machota- Always a Machota!" and I am only an email away!
  1. A.A. Miline, the author of Winnie-the Pooh, was born on this day in 1882. I you could be one of the book's characters, who would you prefer to be Pooh, Piglet, Tigger, or Eeyore? Explain.
  2. Pretend that your best friend has invited you to the movies. you really want to go, but you promised your grandmother you would spend the afternoon with her. Write about what you decided to do.
  3. Have you ever tried eating Chines food? If so, what is your favorite dish?

If I was one of the Winnie-the pooh character I would be..... Pooh because he is so clam and nice and sweet and he helps a lot of people out. I think that I am like him cause I am sweet and kind and try to help people out. He is soft and warm and looks like a pillow and he is soft. I also would be like Eeyore because he is lazy and I am lazy myself and he is slow and sometimes I could be slow like in doing something. I would also be like tigger because I be having a lot of energy sometimes and I be bounceing and things like that.that is what character i would be in Winnie-the Pooh.
