Hi. Today you need to go directly to My Access and work on your Persuasive essay. Once that is done you will go and revise your narrative. Remember to use the Tutor and Editor in My Access to improve your trait scores. Next week we will be working in Study Island.
  1. Imagine that your family is preparing for a garage sale to get rid of any unwanted household items. Your parent has told you that you must select three items from your room to sell. What three items would you sell? Explain.
  2. Pretend that you are shopping at a garage sale when suddenly you hear a toy doll speaking to you. Write about what happens next.

If my parents told me that I had to pick three items out of my room to sell at a garage sell, I would pick an old stuffed bear, an old outfit, and my very old jewlry box. I would pick these items because they aren't at use and I don't think that I would ever use them again.

I was with my mom at a garage sale when sudenly a toy doll started to speak to me. I was so suprised that I nearly screamed, but I played it cool. I stared at it to make sure that it was talking when I saw a little kid pulling the string behide it to make it talk. At that point I was mad at the little kid, but also relieved that a doll wasn't talking to me.

What will probably happen is that when the doll talk to you,you will probably talk back but then you say something back you will probably be freaked out.Because if i heard a doll talking to me i would just ignore it.Its just a doll.Thats what will probably happen.

If I had to sell 3 items I would most likely sell any old clothes that cause me grief and pain
I would also sell my old fancy dresses because some of them don't fit me and thay just remind me of things that I don't want to be reminded of.
And last bt not least I would sell my old rock and roll sad music because I want to be happy and move on with my life but until that day comes that I do move I will be laying down in my own old depression of life.
