February 7 Journal
Welcome back! Today you will work for 30 minutes in Study Island. Then I will do direct instruction and show you how to take the Persuasive Wizard, insert it, and reformat the paragraphs.
I think that if a pioneer girl were to come through a time machine, the three things that would surprise her would be the computers, clothes, and people.
ReplyDeleteIf a girl who lived in the 1800's arrived in a time machine three things that'd surpise him would be the televisons; because they didnt have any in her time. Also the cars, they are so advanced these day, and lastly the technology like from the MP3 players and the videogames or computers.
ReplyDeleteThe three things that would suprize her is the people,the diffrent damention,and the color.
ReplyDeleteIf a pioneer girl showed up at my home from a time machine, there would be many things that would surprise her. One thing would be iPods and new styles of music, because in pioneer days there wasnt many types of music, and no music players or electricity. I could also show her cars, heaters, calculators; anything that would use electricity or make harder tasks easier. Pioneers would be excited and surprised by today's technology because in their time, there was no easy way to get food, heat, or entertainment. Today we have all of those things at our fingertips.
ReplyDeleteIt would suprise her to see the way we dress and the music we listen to.She will be most surprise by the streets and buildings and how the world looks different to her.
ReplyDeletei think if a pioneer girl came to are school she will be suprise about are cloths and all the history that had happen and tv.
ReplyDeleteif i had no water than i would go over my family house and if i had no elictronics to play than i would just go outside and play basketball or just have fun and do some sports
ReplyDeleteA day without electricity or running water would be terrible. I couldnt even take a shower when usually I take one everyday. We would have no lights in the house so If it go dark I wouldnt be able to see anything unless I had candles or something.
ReplyDeleteI can not imagine living without any technology.My whole life is based on technology.Everyday I use these things to make my life whatit is. Like watch TV, or listen to the radio.
ReplyDeletea pioneer girl has just arrived in a time macine as she walks out she looks around. As she looks she is startled by one of the computers.
ReplyDeleteshe then asks where we got our clothes from n as she leaves she is frightened by the honking of the cars and runs off never to be seen again.
A day in my life without running water would be very bad. i need running water take showers or wash my hands when i go to the bathroom to so that would be really hard and without electricity i would probley not survive because i use nit everyday to watch tv or go on the coumputer or even talk on the phone
ReplyDeleteIf a pioneer were to arrive at my school they would probaly be supprised at all the things they have.We have computers electricity and working bath rooms now. Also they would be probaly suprised at what we wear and the stores that we have now.
ReplyDeleteA day in my life without water or electricity would be bad because i would not be able to take a shower in the morning so i won't be so fresh . Another thing with electricity is that would't be able to watch tv or play XBox . It will be a very boring day.
ReplyDeleteThe three thing that i thing that would surprise her is how we dress because theres alot of new styles now. Another reason is how we talk because there's aot of new slang words these day. The las reason would be how we live.
If a pioneer girl were to arrive at Dirksen in a time machine she would be most suprised of our school computers, Mrs.Machota's camera for the year book and how everyone dresses
ReplyDeleteone we have food every day , and that we have runnig water ,and ellectricity
ReplyDeleteI think if a pioneer girl were to come through a time machine,the three things that would suprise would be the food,homes,and cars.
ReplyDeletewell my electricity and water never was off so i guess i wouldnt know what to do but sit there looking every were to found water and take a shower i can take having no electricity but showering ill go crazy!
ReplyDeleteWhat I think wpould suprise herthe the most is the cars because such things moving that fast would be crazy to her. Also the food we eat. Third the way we dress because the dressed way different back then.
ReplyDeleteI think the pioneer girl would be suprised about the technology, the way we dress, and the variety of different people.
ReplyDeletewell, for starters, probably electricity and running water would frighten her, but aso all the people that are here and all the different technology.
ReplyDeleteIf a girl showed up from the 1800s then i would show her all of the new technology, like computers, ipods, new tpyes of music and much more.
ReplyDeleteIf I had to last one day without electricity or running water, I would absolutly die! I live not one day without my computer, TV, or radio. I also can't go not one day without taking a shower and doing my hair. That day would be a diaster.
ReplyDeleteI would have to make something that I could do all th time. It wouldhave to be fun and stuff.
ReplyDeletei would probably have to work hard for food and water just to kepp myself clean. i might not even have time for my own self. although i wouldnt mind the electronic things very much.
ReplyDeleteIf i was a pioneer girl and I came through a time machine i would be surprised at the technology like computers,t.v.s, microwaves,etc. Also, i'd be surprised at how to make fire instead of using wood to make it. Last, i'd be surprised at the food how it looks,smells and tastes because since she wasa a pioneer girl they never had good food like we do these days.They used to eat like fish that they catched or they's attck animals and eat them. Instead of ordering pizza or going to a resturant.
ReplyDeleteThe one three things that would suprise her would is how we can go to different places in a car, and how we have all this medicen to cure people.
ReplyDeleteI think if a pioneer girl were to come in a time machine what would surprise her were the computers, the time of clothes we were and how we were them, and finally all the electronics.
ReplyDeleteA day when this happened was when there was a storm. We had nothing to watch on tv. We had to light candles in our house for light. Also we had to go to my aunt;s to take a shower. It was very bad and boring without these things. I hated that day a lot.
ReplyDeleteI think one thing that would surprise her is the way we dress eat the things we do in our spair time like the computer maybe the kind of video games and cars just our tacnolagy becouse she would not be use to the kind of things that we use see eat and exspirience and i think i would want to exspirience some of the things she do use and have
ReplyDeleteA day without running water will be i very bad day for me.How will i be able to take a shower and brush my teeth.Plus without any power desroys alot of things like school work cbecause a need light to see and,my t.v shows are very impotant to me to.So yeah without both of those things my life will be horrible.
ReplyDeleteI think if a pioneer girl were to come through a time machine,the three things that would surprise her would be the cars,computers and the mp3.
ReplyDeleteI think that it will be verry hard for me to no't live without electicity because I like lising to music and the redio. Electicity is berry important because it makes awere lives iser. I espacialy couldent live with out running water.
ReplyDeletethree things that would surpise her would be clothes we have different labels of clothes now, another would be cars,bikes ya know, lastly maybe technology like computers and tv's stuff like that.
ReplyDeleteI know that if there was no electricity or running water is bad. One time when some kids in my block opened the fire extinguer and for the whole day we had no water. Now without water we could not wash anything. with no electricity you cant cook anything or use the T.V

ReplyDeleteThree things that I think that would surprise her would be computers because she doesn't know what they are she's never seen them before. Something else that would surprise her would be cars because she's probably use to carrages, but we use cars for transportation. Finally she would be surprised about are clothes that we wear because the clothes we wear do not the clothes that she wears.
ReplyDeleteShe would be surprised about a computer,elmo,and a laptop.
ReplyDeletethe things that migt scare her the most would probally be the bathrooms with toilets, a water fountain without having to go get it from a well, and last but not least the school were there is more than one classroom.
ReplyDeleteI think i would show her an ipod a computer and microscopes because those things could intrest her.She would know how to use a computer and she could play games on there.She could listen to muisic on an ipod.Also she could look at bacteria with a microscope so she can tell her family about them.
ReplyDeleteWith out water I would not take a bath.Some people dont carrie about they stink.

ReplyDeleteI think that if a pioneer girl arrived at our school she would have probably found surprising the computers that we have now I think that she would have prbably also found surpising when she sees people with their celphones talking to other people. The last thing that I think she would have found surprising is the close that people wear. Those are the three things that I think she would have fond surprising.
