April 29 Jouranl

Good Day! I am glad you are here. Today you will work in Study Island for the first 30 minutes and then I am going to go over some academic vocabulary terms with you, we will pick topics and partners and review prompts. I really need for you to be present in mind and body today.
  1. The zipper was patented on April 29, 1913. Imagine that you are camping in the woods with a friend. As you try to get out of the tent in the morning, you realize that the zipper is stuck. Write about what happens next.
  2. Would you rather be an ant at a picnic or a bee in a flower garden? Explain.

I would rather be a bee in a flower garden because if I where to be an ant I would probably die in a picnic.

If me and my friend were in a tent and the zipper was stuck I would try to open it again or rip the zipper off and buy a new tent. I wouldn't want to be stuck in a tent all day so I would do anything it took to get out of the tent.

I would rather be a bee in a flower garden because there's less chance that you'll get squished! How many people try to kill bees? (Not many, considering the fact that a lot of people are allergic!) How many people try to kill ants? People do it every day; they don't even think twice about it. Ants spend a lot of their life squeezing through risky opportunities. Bees can fly, and they take part in the majority of garden growth.

If the zipper was stuck I would wait for a while and then try it again if it got to the point where I had been in there too long and I needed to eat or something I would rip the tent to get out

If the zipper was stuck I would take something to cut a hole in the tent so I could get out yep.

What I think would happen next is that I would tell my friend to get something, so that I can cut where the zipper is and get out.

I would rather be a bee because they are more fun to be. Also because they will never die.

If i woke up and my tent zipper was stuck. I would try a couple of times to open it and if it doesnt open. Then i would go in my bag and i will get a knife and just either cut the zipper off. So then i will be able to pull the left and the right side apart. So then it will be open. Or i would judt take it and cut a big whole in the tent. And then just go buy another one.

I would rather be an ant because I like to eat. I would be an ant as long as I don't get stepped on. Being an ant at a picnic would be fun because you get to sneak around and take food from other people. I would be like a secret spy.

i would like to be a bee in a flower garden, because if i was an ant then the pinic would leave and then the food would be gone. if i was a bee with the flowers then the flowers would always be there and i could keep coming pack for food when i was hungry.

If i was stuck in my tent because the zipper was stuck what i would do next is try and try to open it i know i would get mad but then i would try to see whats wrong with it if i wouldnt be able to open it then i would ask somebody else to help me with it. Thats what i would do if i was stuck with a zipper.

What happens next is that we both try to get out our tent. I would try to put a hole in the tent so that I can get out. because I would be hungry and hot,or I would see if someone is out there and try to tell them to try to open the tent or break the zipper.

I would rather be a bee in a flower garden because then you have less of a chance to live.The ant in the picnic could get stepped on and killed.Th bee could hide in a flower or it could fly away if there's any danger.

i would rather be a bee in a flower garden because then i would be able to look at and smell the beautiful flowers.And i would also be a very pretty bee.

After the zipper got stuck i would keep moving the zipper up and down and till i got out and if that won't work i would get something to make a whole in the tent so i can get out.

I would rather be a bee because then i whe ouldn't die when someone killed me because i was in their food. I would have my own little paradise in the flower garden. Of course by collecting the pollen, i would be making honey and doing my job. I also like the yellow and black on a bee :D.

if the ziper was stuck i would rip a whole through it and then i would get out and do what i need to do and then ask my friend for help, and if my friend does not help i would just probably try to fix it myself.

Then next you see a shadow walk in front of your tent. Then he goes to reach for the zipper when another noise happens outside. then he goes to see what it is and it ends up being a bear. The shadow runs away but you got the bear to handle now. So you start to make alot of noise and the bear gets scared and runs away. Then all of a sdden the zipper gets unstuck and you run for help.

If I went camping with a friend and I couldn't get the zipper
open I would panic for like 10min
then I would tell myself to calm
down. After I would of told myself to calm down then I would of start
looking for a knife because you suppose to take a knife with you just in case something pop off and I would of start cutting it.
