Here is your "Would You Rather" for today:
Would you rather have the ability to see 10 years into your own future or one year into the future of the world?
Please remember to check for mistakes by reading aloud your post to yourself before you publish it. I cannot wait to see what you write!
Your teacher,
Ms. B :)
I would rather have the ability to see 10 years in to my future because I would be able to see the things that I need to change, see what I can look foward to doing, see what I look like, and to not do stuff that I will do in the future because it will be exciting to do it for the first time.
ReplyDeleteIf I were to choose to have the ability to see 10 years in to my future or have 1 year to see the future in the world I would rather have the ability to see 10 years in to my future because I would be able to see the things that I need to change, to see what I can look forward to doing, see what I will look like, and to not do the things that I will do in the future because it would be exciting to to it for the first time. That is why I would rather have the ability to see 10 years in to my life over 1 year in the whole world.
DeleteI would rather get to see 10 years into my life than to see the world in one year. the reason why is because I could see how cool i am in the future. The second reason why is because I could see what my life is like. And the last reason why is because I could get prepared for my life in the future. That's the reason why i would rather see my life in the future than see the world in the future in one year
ReplyDeleteI would rather look 10 years in the future of my life because...
ReplyDelete1). I can see where I go to college.
2). I can see who my freinds are.
3). I can see what I look like.
I would rather see 10 years in the future of my life than 1 year into the future of the world.
I would rather look ten years in the future of my life because I can see where I go to college.I can see who my friends are, and I can see what I look like at age twenty. I would rather see 10 years into the future of my life rather than seeing the 1 year in the future of the world because of those reasons above.
DeleteI am to choose between seeing either 10 years into my future or 1. I would choose getting to have the ability to see 10 years into the future. Because you would get to see how you will be doing in college. You might get to see how your grades turned out in the year (in college). Plus if we're talking the WORLD, then you would get to see everything that changed or stayed the same. You would get a heads-up in the future of 2023. The next year for us is just right around the corner and seeing how we would do would be a waist of time and money to see it. We have but only very little time in school and summer goes by really quickly. The next year is 5th grade and seeing that year we could really just ask a 5th grader (a.k.a. rising 6th grader) what 5th grade is like. In conclusion these are the statements that state that I think seeing 10 years into my future is better than 1.
ReplyDeleteBetween having the ability to see 10 years into my future or getting to see 1 year into everybody's future I would rather get to see my own future. First of all I can see what I do. Second of all If I act bad in 10 years I could change my act now. Third of all I wouldn't need to worry about strangers and there future. That is why I chose to see 10 years into my future.
ReplyDeleteIf I could choose between seeing the future for myself or seeing one year into the future of the world, I would choose one year into the future. Here are some reasons why.
ReplyDelete1) When you see one year into the future for the world, you may be doing something good for the world. For example, if a volcano was coming, you could warn the villagers beforehand.
2) If you know the future for yourself, there would not be many surprises in your lifetime.
3) If you could see one years future, you could also find about your one years future lying ahead.
That is why I chose one year into the future of the world instead of knowing my future for ten years.
I would rather have the ability to see one year into the world's future because you could tell if a war will end or if another war will start, so you can be ready for it. I would rather have the ability to see one year into the world's future because you could tell if there will be bad farming, so the farmers know to stock up on food that year. I would rather have the ability to see one year into the worlds future because by the years trees go bye bye, so you tell the president that all the trees will be gone next year, so when next year comes everybody will be ready for big machines to cut down trees.
ReplyDeleteI would rather have the ability to see one year in to the future of the world than have the ability to see yourself in the future in ten years because what if your future self turned in to a punk,you would not want to see that would you? And if you died in the next ten years you would not want to know that. If you went one year into the future of the world you would probably be the same and you could see if you still lived in your house or if you had some new friends. That is why I would rather have the ability to see the world in one year than have the ability to see my self in ten years.
ReplyDeleteIf I had to choose from having the ability to see 10 years in to my own future or one year in to the future of the world. I would choose having the ability to see 10 years in to my own future. I would choose having the ability to see 10 years into my own future because then I could see longer in to the future. Also, I would not really want to see what the world is going to be like in the next year because it could be just the same as it is now. If I saw my future in the 10 years it could be a lot different ten years later, but the world can't change that much in just one year.That is why I would rather be able to see ten years into my future and not one year into the worlds future.
ReplyDeleteI would rather go one year into my future. I would rather go one year into my future because then I would get to see new things that I've never seen before. I would also rather do that because if I saw ten years into my future and the future would be bad, then I wouldn't be able to do anything about it. I would also want to go into the future so I could skip tests at school!(no offense ms.B) So that's why I would rather go into the future!
ReplyDeleteI would rather be able to see 10 years into my future because I would be able to look at my mistakes and fix them. Also I could see what job I would have and work up to it. Another reason why I would rather see 10 years into my future is I would be able to see my self in 10 years and that alone is pretty cool. The reason why I wouldn't want to see ten years in the future is because I want to see what I would look like more than what the world would look like in one year because it is only one year away so that really is not a very long time. Also I think I would be more interested in my future than the worlds. That is why I would rather see 10 years into my future than see the world in one year.
ReplyDeleteI would rather see my future for 10 years than see other peoples futures because, if you did something bad in the future, you could stop yourself from doing it. Another reason, you could see your new job or see an animal that has not been found yet. My last reason is a really cool, what the CARS would be like? I've seen movies where cars FLY! But I really think it will be cooler than an really nice car because now you could go to the beach alone, and not on an air plane.
ReplyDeleteIf I had the choice to see into my future 10 years later from today, or if I got to choose to see into the future of the world 1 year from today. I would choose getting to see into my future 10 years from today, and if I was mean, or if there was some bad things in my life. I could try to fix those things, so I could be a better person when I'm older. Also, if you only get to see 1 year into the future of the world there would be kind of the same things in the world that there was the year before that. Also, I would like to see into my future 10 years from now because I would be able to see what college I went to, and I would see all the things in life that I wouldn't get to know before I got to see 10 years into my future. Another thing is that I wouldn't want to see 1 year into the world's future because all the things in the world could become better than they are in some places, and you would not want to have that good new spoiled. If I got the choice to choose if I could be able to see into my future 10 years from now in my future, or if I got to choose to see into the future of the world 1 year from now. I would choose getting to see into my future 10 years from now because I would get to see all the good opportunities that I would be able to do when I get older.
ReplyDeleteI would rather see ten years into my future because I could stay safe, do the right thing, and make better decisions. For example if a tornado was coming or a bad storm that would cause damage you would know where to go and what to do. Another example is that if someone was teasing somebody you could stand up because you would now what the other person would say. My last reason is that if somebody needed help and someone else needed you at the same time, you would be able o make a better decision. That is why I would rather see ten years into my future than see one year into the world's future.
ReplyDeleteIf I could choose between getting to see 10 years into my own future or getting to see 1 year future of the world, I would choose to see 10 years into my own future. I would choose getting to see 10 years into my own future because that would mean I would be able to see what I will look like 10 years from now instead of just getting to see what I would look like 1 year from now. I would also be able to see which collage I will go to , I would get to see if I will have a pet or not, live in a beautiful house or not , and I would be able to see if I would be rich then or not. Last of all if I would rather get to be able to see 10 years into my own future instead of getting to see 1 year into the future of the world because I would get to see what job I would have then. That's why I would rather be able to see into my own future instead of getting to see 1 year into the future of the world.
ReplyDeleteI would rather be able to see 10 years into my future than to to see one. Because you could see if it is good or bad. You could see if you are popular or famous. See if you got into your favorite middle school/high school, and if you got into your favorite college. You could see new inventions. How smart or athletic you are. Basically you could see how good or bad the rest of your life is going to be like.
ReplyDeleteI would rather be able to see 10 years into my life than just 1 year because you could see if it is good or bad. You also could see if you are popular or famous. Also see if you got into your favorite middle school/high school, and if you got into your favorite college. You could also see new really cool inventions, and how smart or athletic you are. Basically you could see how good or bad the rest of your life is going to be like.
DeleteIf I were to choose, I would want to look 10 years in to my own future. I would want to do that so I would what to do, and what not to do. Also, I chose that one because I could see what I looked like in 10 years. And one more of my reasons would to see what i need to do to get a job i wanted. And my last reason is that I could see my life and what I did to make it that way. I would rather see 10 years in to my own future.
ReplyDeleteIf I had a choice between seeing ten years in my future or seeing one year in every ones future I would want to see my future in ten years. First of all if you saw your future you would get to see what to change and what to get better at. Second if you went ten years in the future you would get to see the new things that they made like flying cars or a floating house. Third if you went to the future you would get to see your job and see who you new friends are. I would rather travel ten years and see myself than go one year in the future and see every ones future.
ReplyDeleteI would rather go 10 years into my life time.
ReplyDelete1. I could do more things for the first time, for example more roller coasters exct.
2.I would be able to see what I would look like especially my hair.
3.It would be fun to know what college I am going to.
4.To see what new friends i would have, and what I would do for a job.
5.If something bad happened I could fix it.
That is why I chose 10 years into my life.
DeleteIf I had the choice of seeing 10 years into my future or 1 year in the worlds future I would choose to see 10 years into my future. I would do that because I would see if I become a wife or a old lady with cats. I would also see what college I would be going to. Also in the future you could maybe win the lottery and become rich and famous. I really want to go to a college and learn all things I could to become a designer. That is why I would choose to see 10 years in the future rather then see on year in the worlds future.
ReplyDeleteIf I had to choose between 10 years into the future or have one year to go into the future, I would choose going one year to go into the future because:
ReplyDelete1. When I came back I could make a fortune by making the products they have built.
2. I could see what would happen to the world in a few years.
3. You could win the lottery by making all of he money building the products.
That is why I chose to go to the future for one year.
If I had to choose between 10 years into the future or have one year to go into the future, I would choose having one year to go into the future because, when I came back I could make a fortune by making the products they have built. Another reason is that I could see what would happen to the world in a few years. The last reason is, you could win the lottery by making all of the money building the products. That is why I chose to go to the future for one year.
DeleteIf I had to choose between getting to see 10 years into my own future or getting to see 1 year into the future of the world, I would choose getting to see 10 years into my own future. I choose that because if you did something wrong and got hurt, you could change that when it is about to happen. Also, I would be able to see what college I go to, where I live and what is my job. If didn't like something you saw in the future you would be able to go back and change it. If you chose to see 1 year of future of the world and you didn't like something you couldn't save the whole world. For example, a giant meteor might hit the world and you could only help by saving a few people. I would totally choose getting to see 10 years of my future instead of getting to see the future of the world.
ReplyDeleteIf I could choose seeing 1 year into the future of the world or see 10 years into MY future I would choose to see 1 year into the worlds future because I could tell the government what their actions could do. Also I could help scientists so they don't make hazardous mistakes. I also would warn people about natural disasters so they could evacuate the area. Another thing I could do is warn someone if they are going to be murdered.
ReplyDeleteIf I could chose from being able to see 10 years or 1 year in the world. I would chose 10 years in my future. I would chose that because if I chose 1 year in the future there wouldn't be a lot of changes in my life of the worlds. Also if I chose 10 years there would be more changes in my life like what collage I go to. Last if I chose 10 years in my future I could see what my job is. I would chose to see 10 years in my future than 1 year in the world.
ReplyDeleteIf I had the choice to either see 10 years in my future, or go to 1 year ahead in the future, I would want to see 10 years into my future. If you go to a different place in time, something WILL go wrong. Also not much changes over a year. If you could see 10 years ahead, you would see what collage you go to, what you like to do, and so on. If there was a bad decision that changed your life when you were 20, you could change it when it was time to make that decision. You could just get a look, instead of going into the world and you will most likely have a challenge there, when it wasn't worth it, and you could of just LOOKED where your life actually changed.
ReplyDeleteThose are some reasons why I choose to look 10 years into my future.
DeleteIf I had to choose between seeing my future for ten years, or seeing the world's future for 1 year, I would have to choose seeing the world's future for 1 year.
ReplyDeleteMy reasons:
In important events- such as the Superbowl, the Olympics, the Kentucky Derby.- You could bet a lot of money, and win every time. p.s. you could also win the lottery.with the money you win, you could buy protection things for you and your family. Another reason is that with the money you earn, you could help poor and homeless people. You could also see other people's future and get money for that too. You could also know what is going to happen in your country and get them prepared for it. That's why I chose to see the future of the world for one year rather than see my own future for ten years.
I would rather see one year into the future of me because,Number one I could see if I would die.Number two I could tell people if I saw that I was getting sick to cure me.Number three I could tease my friends about magic.I would love seeing one year into my future!!!
ReplyDeleteI would rather see one year in to the future then see 10 years in to the future because, 1.) I would not in joy my life that I have now.2.) I would not be able to find any of my friends because it would already be 10 years from now.3.) I will be really confused and would not know were my parents are, and it will be really scary.And that is why I would rather see 1 year in to the future then see 10 years in to the future.
