Six Doors. Which door will you Enter?

 

There are so many possibilities when considering a fictional world.  If you could choose any of these six to live in, which one would you choose and why?  How does it unfold?

 

 

  1. Short description of each place:

 

Narnia: Magical world in the Chronicles of Narnia book series where ordinary kids become prince and princesses and the king, who they try to save, is a talking lion.

 

Neverland: The land where Peter Pan brings three kids from England.  In Neverland you don’t have to grow up and have responsibilities, you can play and dress up forever.  The only downside is the evil Captain Hook.

 

Wonderland: The dream land where Alice lands when she falls down the rabbit hole.  Wonderland is filled with talking animals and flowers, a disappearing cheshire cat, a mad hatter, and a queen of hearts who tries to get rid of Alice.

 

Hogwarts: The school for wizards and witches in Harry Potter where Harry faces the struggle between good and evil and has many adventures with his friends, Ron and Hermione.

 

Camelot: Is the castle and court associated with King Arthur.  It is a place where knights are deemed nobles and princesses are to be saved.

 

Middle Earth: The continent in which the Lord of the Rings takes place.  The hobbits, men, elves, and valar are on the good side while Melkor along with the orcs and dragons are evil.

To wear a uniform or not to wear a uniform, that is the question!

images[4]

Have you ever thought about what it would be like to have to wear uniforms to school?  They are often mandatory if you attend a private school, like Miss Osmond did in Dubai.  Do you think they would be a positive thing to have in a public school system as well, such as HLPS, or do you think they would have more negative aspects?  State 2-3 reasons FOR and 2-3 reasons AGAINST having uniforms in school.  State your opinion and why you feel that way.  If you had to wear a uniform, would you rather have all of the clothing look exactly alike or would you rather have mix and match options?  Why?  If you were picked to design a uniform for your school, what would it look like?  What rules would you have for wearing the uniform?

What are you thankful for in your life?

osani 2

” I read a story about an anthropologist who proposed a game to the kids in an African tribe. He put a basket full of fruit near a tree and told the kids that who ever got there first won the sweet fruits. When he told them to run they all took each others hands and ran together, then sat together enjoying their treats. When he asked them why they had run like that as one could have had all the fruits for himself they said: Ubuntu, how can one of us be happy if all the other ones are sad?”

* Ubuntu in the Xhosa culture means “I am because we are”.

This beautiful story makes me reflect on all that I am thankful for in my life.     How does this story make you feel?

Write a paragraph about all that you are thankful for in your life. Follow the structure of a paragraph.
