In the future, a company is able to create a fully functioning dinosaur theme park for visitors to come and see real life dinosaurs! I have three questions for you. Firstly, would you go to this theme park? Secondly, what might be some problems with this creation? Thirdly, should we bring back to life what was destroyed in the past?

Watch the short video below. Then, compare and contrast Esperanza's Rising to another book/story of your choice. Here's my example below. Esperanza Rising & The Boy Who Cried Wolf Compare (Similarities): Esperanza and the boy in the story started off as characters who thought only of themselves. Esperanza was self-centered and loved being on El Rancho de las Rosas in the beginning of the story. The boy wanted to have fun so he played a prank on the villagers. Contrast (Differences): Esperanza Rising is a novel that has chapters titled in fruits while The Boy Who Cried Wolf is a short story (fable) that teaches a lesson at the end. Esperanza transforms into a new person like a phoenix at the end of the novel. The boy didn't really transform, but only learned a lesson. What do you think the theme of this movie clip below? Give Mr. Luu an example sentence for each figurative language below. These are my examples so you cannot use them. Set it up like Mr. Luu did. Try to challenge yourself and give me long beautiful sentences. It has to make sense though!
Simile: Jessica smelled like roses after she sprayed herself with the new perfume. Metaphor: Jeffery is a freak of nature! Personification: The wind howled through the night. Alliteration: If there were two witches watching two watches, which witch would watch which watch. Onomatopoeia: Zoom! Hyperbole: Man, Coach Hafner made me run for days! Idiom: When nature calls. Research the most important invented electronic device ( your opinion, mine is the computer). Give some facts about it like: function, price, availability, history, manufacture (company that makes it), and/or stores that sell it. Then say why you believe this is the best invention.
Research your favorite animal and provide me with some information about it. Please give me facts and not opinions!
Example: Did you know that tigers are the biggest cat species? Their entire body can extend to a length of 11 feet! Their size helps them dominate their prey. Having razor sharp teeth also helps. Although their size helps them being a predator, they often fall as prey to human hunters. This is why they are slowly becoming extinct. Here is a picture of friends. One theme of this picture can be: true friends cannot be bought. Another theme can be life is best spent with friends/loved ones. Tell me about a theme that you can say about this picture and describe it. Do you follow this theme in your life?
How did this happen?! I challenge you to use interjections, prepositions, conjunctions, correlative conjunctions, dialogue, and correct commas! Take the challenge!
Here's a picture of a family that doesn't have much. Compare your living conditions to theirs and reflect on how grateful you are for what you have.
