February 18 Journal

Good morning. I am working in the office today so I am just a buzz away. Please be on your best behavior. You should not be out of your seat nor should you be on a different computer. Today is the last day for you to make the third submission for My Access. If you are still on your second submission, please go directly to My Access and skip Study Island. If you have made your second submission and are working on your third, work in Study Island for 30 minutes and then go to My Access. If you are done with My Access all together, you may start the next prompt: "Abraham Lincoln."


  1. The third Monday in February is Presidents' Day. Would you rather be president of the United States or a famous movie star? Exlain.

  2. On this date in 1930 the planet Pluto was discovered by astronomer Cylde Tombaugh. Pretend that you are an astronomer who just discovered another planet in our solar system. Name your planet and describe what it looks lik and where it is located.

I would rather be the president of the United States, because I would be able to make decisions to make our country a better place to live. Movie starts often get lies told about them, do drugs, and get stalked. Being a movie star wouldn't be fun unless people would leave you alone, although if I were the presedent, every decision would be held on my shoulders, and some of the population may have disagreed with my decisions. Either ocupation is hard, although being the President would be harder.

I would rather be the presedent of the United States because I would stop the war in Iraq and bring our troops home. I'd Rather be president than a moviestar because when your a movie star you get stalked twenty-four seven. While being presedent i could undo all of Bush's wrong doings.

I would rather be a famous movie star because being a president is just too much responsibility. I've noticed that everytime a president is elected they go in with colored hair and when their term is over they come out with white hair becuase they have a lot on their hands. They are responsible for an entire country. A movie star just has to act and be cool which is what i would choose to be.

I would rather be a famous movie star then the president of the United States mainly because I'm not very into polotics and I don't really like getting into the whole war and threats thing, I would rather let the government take care of that.

I couldn't choose between being a movie star or the president because i think it would be cool to be famous and to be president because i reall like studying about the presidents and stuff.

I'd be a president because people(guys,men) think that women don't have the potential to do it as well as men do. Also, because presidents earn more money then stars do and can tell people what to do and have people do stuff for them that they don't feel like doing.

I would rather be a movie star than the president because movie stars only have to worry about themselves, while the president has to worry about himself and the rest of the country.

I would rather be a movie star than a president. I would be a movie star because they are popular. I am not saying a president is not famous because they are. Also I would not have to do big decisions for the country. I would have fun doing movies and working with a crew. This is why I prefer being a movie star than a president.
