January 24 Journal

Welcome back to the Writing Lab. Remember you will respond to only one of the journals. Don't forget to put your name and grade in the "nickname" identity and move the green dot there. Take out your parent/student information slip and place it on your table. Also when you are done, open up Study Island and begin working on either completing your notes or testing in the first activity.


  1. Imagine that by accident you get locked in a department store after it closes for the night. Describe how you spend the night.

  2. Wow! You are going to be a guest on the Oprah show for kids! What will you talk about? Why?

If I ever got locked in a department store for the night I would go crazy. I would try on all the clothes. I would sleep in the beds that they have on display. I would try to find some food too. In the morning I would act like nothing happened.

If I got stuck in a department store after it closes for the night I would go crazy and act like a fool. I would jump on all of the beds and try on all of the clothes that I liked. That would be so fun if I did get stuck in a department store but it would be boring too.

If I got locked in a store I would live off of what is at the store. For example the food that isn't frozen would help for not starving, and the bedding supplies I would make a big bed out of that.

If I was locked in a department store I would spend the night by going and eating the candy and go to freezer sectionto get milk and something to drink. I would then go to the sofa section there and make a bed for myself. If the lights were out I'd go steal some lighters and candles to get some light. Before i go to bed I'd probably get a book to read and then go to bed.
