My class and I read The Wizard of Oz and saw the movie. I don’t think that the movie is a very good adaptation. One of the reason I didn’t think it was a good adaptation is that the in the movie it is a dream. I also didn’t like when they go to the poppy field instead of the mice helping them the good witch dose. The last thing I didn’t like was the ruby slippers in the movie. Those are the reasons I don’t think that the movie is an adaptation. (Read on …)
Plymouth plantation was nothing like what I expected. Other than I really liked it. I was surprised by the dinner I thought that it was going to be more like a thanksgiving dinner where everybody sat at the same table and I really didn’t like of the but I liked the pear tart.
Until I went onto the Mayflower 2 I didn’t realize how small the ship is and who hard it would have been to live on the
Mayflower. We also did a thing were we investigated house I thought that it was the best part was. I liked it because you were in the dark with flash lights with your and I thought that it was really fun. We allso went to a Native American vilage were we got to talk to people that’s ancestors were real Native American’s it was really cool! We also went to a 1627 village were we met people that acted like pilgrims in 1627. I met Franis Bilington he shot the musket on the Mayflower I liked meeting him.
Next Thursday we are going to Plimouth plantation. I don’t know anything about it except it for that it is really fun. I think that we will live like pilgrims. I don’t think it’s going to be like Camp Slone.
Once upon a time there was a kid named Brett Green who was the starting quarterback for a team that hadn’t won a game in years. Brett had two mean roommates named Nick and Will. They were mean because they wanted to be on the football team, but they didn’t make it. Fortunately, he had a good friend named Billy.
At every game Brett always wore a special lucky wristband. It was important to him because his father had used it when he was the starting quarterback for the same team many years before.
But then this year it was different. The team started winning with Brett to help them. Finally it was the last game before championship. “It is 10 and 3 and if they win the game, it will be the first time in 12 years that they go to the championship game … Their quarterback drops back for the pass, throws it to a deep receiver and it’s caught! The wide receiver gets tackled at the 5-yard line. They hand it off to their running back for the touchdown… Brett gets the snap… He hands it off to the running back. He gains five yards on the run…. Brett hands it off to the running back who for ten yards. The crowd goes wild…ten second left. Brett throws a 50-yard pass for a touchdown…he did it! They are going to the Rose Bowl for the first time in twelve years!”
The day of the Rose bowl, Notre Dame was about to go on to the field when Brett remembered that he wasn’t wearing his lucky wristband that his father gave him. When Brett got to his dormitory he found out that his roommates had his lucky wristband. “Where are my roommates?” thought Brett.
Meanwhile back at the game everybody was chanting “WHERE IS BRETT! WHERE IS BRETT!!!!!!!!!!!!!” Then Billy called Brett. During the phone call, Brett told Billy where he was and what he was doing. Billy told him that he had seen his two roommates at the game and that he would bring them to his dorm.
Billy brought Brett’s two roommates to his dorm, and they refused to tell them where lucky wristband was. Then Brett got an idea. Since he was the captain of the Notre Dame football team, he would get them a spot on the team, they would give him his wristband, and he could return to the game.
At the game, Notre Dame was losing by 14 points with 2 minutes remaining in the 4th quarter. When Brett returned to the game with his wristband on, everyone cheered for him. Then the coach asked Brett where he was. He responded, “I was retrieving my lucky wristband.”
“Well you have missed three quarters of the game and we are down by 14 points,” said the coach.
“Coach, I will win this game for Notre Dame,” said Brett.
“USC has the ball on their own 20-yard line. The USC quarterback drops back for the long pass and Notre Dame intercepts the ball and runs it back for the touchdown. With 20 seconds left on the clock, Notre Dame does an onside kick. Notre Dame recovers the ball. Brett drops back and sees an open receiver in the end zone. 5 seconds left, Chad catches the ball for a touchdown. Notre Dame goes for the two-point conversion to win the game. The ball is snapped and Brett hands it off to the running back WHO FUMBLES THE BALL. But Chad recovers it in the end zone. NOTRE DAME WINS THE ROSE BOWL!!!!!!!”
Next year, Brett’s roommates weren’t mean to him anymore and his roommates got on the team but weren’t starters.
THE END!!!!!
This is by my third grade buddy:
In House 43 my teacher ,T.F, developed a relationship with a teacher, who teaches in New Orleans, Louisiana, She teaches at a school named the Lusher School. They thought it would be cool if their students became something a little bit more than pen pals. Now, I have two new pen pal buddies, R. and W. I got to learn all about Louisiana. I learned that Louisiana has parishes instead of counties. They have a special treat called a beignet. My buddies wrote to me that it was something like a doughnut. They sent us a King Cake for Mardi Gras. It was delicious. And I even found the baby inside. There is always a baby inside a King Cake. This is a Christian tradition mostly celebrated in Louisiana. In return, we sent our buddies New York City bagels. The best you can get! We also sent postcards, poetry, letters and artwork. One of the poems we wrote was called “I am From.” It shared about where we are from and what we like about our hometowns. They recommended a restaurant in New Orleans call Café du Monde. If they come to New York I would recommend going to Chinatown. They have great food there. I would like this relationship to go on even past the third grade. Soon our classes will do a project to help raise awareness and help rebuild New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina. That is our goal!
I saw a show called “Half a Sixpence.” It is about kid named Arthur Gibbs who is a very poor kid that becomes rich. He has a girl friend and then gets engaged to another girl. On their wedding day Arthur sees his ex-girl friend and falls in love with her again. Then they get married. I thought that it was a great musical.
The Journal of Wong Ming Chung is a great work of historical fiction. There are some great facts such as Wong Ming Chung came from Tiger Rock, South China. Another example is that Wong Ming Chung arrived to Angel Island on June 20th. There is also good descriptive language such as “ Its sides shone in the sun so it looked like a silver arrow.”(p. 65) If you want to read a good historical fiction you should read this book.
