- At least 3 supporting sentences defending your opinion
- A concluding sentence summarizing your writing
Here is your "Would You Rather" for today:
Would you rather have a 3-day weekend every week or have an extra month of summer vacation?
I cannot wait to see what you will write!
Your teacher,
Ms. B
P.S.-Here is my example:
If I had the choice to have a 3-day weekend every week or have an extra month of summer vacation, I would rather have a 3-day weekend every week. If I had a 3-day weekend instead of 2 days, I would get a lot more done! In addition, I would not have to work as much, and I could spend more time working out, shopping, reading, relaxing, and hanging out with my friends. Plus, I would not feel so rushed on my weekends. I could even go out of town for long weekends and visit family and friends! I prefer having a 3-day weekend rather than having another month of summer vacation.
I would rather have an extra month summer. I would rather have that because then I would get a longer time at Camp Laney! Also I would like it more because, I could have a longer time of summer fun(FYI water fights!) The last reason is that I could sleep in a LOT more, and I need it. I would rather have an extra month of summer.
ReplyDeleteBetween having a 3-dad weekend or having a whole other month of summer I would rather have a 3-day weekend because for me the summer goes by really fast, and it probably wouldn't feel like I had a whole other month of summer. I might also be able to go out of town on a weekend. I also look forward to having three days of freedom!
ReplyDeleteIf I had a to choose between another month of summer or 3 days of the weekend then I would choose 3 days of the weekend. First of all at the end of the year 3 days of extra weekend would add up to more than one month. second you would get to have friends sleep over on Mondays or on Thursdays. Third you would get to stay up later because is you had one more day of the weekend than you could. I would rather have a three day weekend than one more month of summer.
ReplyDeleteIf I had a choice of a three day week -end or a extra month of summer vacation, I would choose a extra month of summer vacation. If I had a whole extra month of summer vacation I could relax at the pool more with my friends. I could hang out with my favorite babysitter ever because it would be her last summer for me and my sister to spend with her. I could also hang out with some of my friends who are leaving next year for another whole month of what ever until we go our separate paths on life. That is way I would prefer a extra month of vacation!
ReplyDeleteI would rather have a extra month of summer instead of a 3-day weekend. I choose this because in the summer the pool is open, so you would a extra month of swimming at the pool. Also it would be better to have a extra month because you can go on more vacations. Like if you didn't get to go to the beach, you could go in your extra month of summer. Lastly, you don't have to do homework for a extra month. So that means no homework for June, July, and August. I would totally choose having a extra month of summer
ReplyDeleteI would rather have a 3 day weekend then a another month of summer because. I would not feel like I need to be done with this and you need to be done with , but is I had that extra day I would not feel that way. Also I would like it because I can have extra fun with my friends and family. Another reason why we should have that extra day is because I will be able to have a full day of home work. It is like having 1 day of home work and 2 days of fun with my friends. And that is why I would rather have a 3 day weekend then a extra month of summer.
ReplyDeleteIf I could either have a 3 day weekend or have a extra month of summer vacation, I would rather have a 3 day weekend. When you get older you still have to work on the summer, but it would be less stressful. You wouldn't have to be rushed on the weekend. I could have more time to hang out with my friends and more time to relax. In the summer you are usually at camp so you wouldn't as much time at home.I would rather have a 3 day weekend.
ReplyDeleteIf I had the choice of a 3 day vacation or a whole extra month of summer, I would have to chose a whole extra month of summer vacation.
ReplyDeleteI chose that because:
1.) You can have something to look forward to.
2.) I think that summer is just too short, and we might just need a bit extra to make it complete.
3.) If you choose a 3 day weekend, that's only about 90-100 days in weekend and plus 94 more days of summer. So you would probably get about 194 days of vacation.
If you choose a whole extra month of summer, and just regular weekends, that would be 60-80+130 which =200 days of vacation.
That's why I choose a whole extra month of summer.
(and plus, who wants to go back to SCHOOL!)
My opinion is that I would rather have a 3-day weekend. There are 52 weeks in a school year, and there are 28 days in a month. You see where I am going? I like less days in school, and I am sure others do. If you get a 3-day weekend, that's like 24 less days than a month more of summer! Also, what if it doesn't snow on Christmas Break, but it snows on the Mondays or Fridays after? I know you might say " It will be a snow day!"... but what if it's not!! That would be a total rip-off. AND you could of just had a 3-day weekend. All i'm trying to say is that personally I would rather have a 3-day weekend.
ReplyDeleteIf I could chose having a 3-day weekend or an extra month of summer, I would rather have an extra month of summer. I would like that better because I could go on a long vacation with my family.Also I could play with my friends at the pool. I would feel more relaxed because I finished school than when I just have a three day weekend. I would rather have an extra month of school than a 3-day weekend.
ReplyDeleteIf I could have either, a 3-day weekend, or another month of summer vacation I would choose having another month of summer vacation. I would do this because I could do whatever I want to do on any day of the week. I think it would be more easy to have an extra month of summer than a 3-day weekend. I could spend more time with my friends and family than I would if I had a regular summer . It would be great to have a whole other month of summer vacation and not have to go to school for another month .I would rather have another month of summer other than a 3-day weekend.
ReplyDeleteI would rather have a extra month of summer than have a 3 day week end. If there was 4 months of summer instead of 3 month of summer I could spend more time with my family and friends. I would also get to go to more places for a longer time. I could get to relax more. I would prefer month of summer than a 3 day week end. I could spend more time doing what I like.
ReplyDeleteI would rather have a 3-day weekend because it would amount to more time than one extra month of summer. Also it wouldn't be wasted in one amount of time.Another reason is that you would get more playtime in the school year.That is why I would prefer a longer weekend.
ReplyDeleteI would rather have an extra month of summer than have a 3 day weekend. If there was an extra month of summer it would be better because I could have more time with my family and friends, I could get tanner, and if it was a 3 day weekend, you would have less time to go to school. And that's why I would prefer an extra month of summer!!!
ReplyDeleteIf I were to choose to have a 3-day weekend or another month of Summer vacation, I would have a 3-day weekend because I could have sleepover's in the week, longer time to do homework, spend a longer time with my friends, and in the Summer we have to read 1,000 minutes and with an extra month that means more reading!
ReplyDeleteI would rather have a extra month of summer because you don't have to be afraid of going to bed and not getting your work done on time. One reason is that you can be on a trip longer than a pain old trip to Disney World for two days. Some more reasons are you can do your home work on time so you get it done, and not at the last day. Lastly a really good reason is that you can play outside a lot more because it's not winter or fall because it gets really COLD!!!!!!!!! That is some reasons I prefer a longer summer.
ReplyDeleteI would rather have an extra month of summer vacation than a three day weekend. I would rather because then I could have Halloween during the summer and it just feels longer. I also would rather have a longer summer because then I could have a longer vacation. So let us have a longer summer!:~O
ReplyDeleteI would rather have an extra month of summer than a three day weekend because in the summer it is always nice and sunny outside! Also if you get a extra month of summer the club pools would stay open longer and that means more swimming!! Also your family would be able to have more vacation time together in the good weather. That is why I would rather have an extra month of summer than a three day weekend.
ReplyDeleteIf I had a choice of having a 3-day weekend or a another month of summer, I would rather have another month of summer because if I only had 3 days of a weekend it is really not a lot of time to visit family. If we did have another month of summer that means that we can spend more time at the pool plus after August it will start to get cooler and by that time all the pools are not open any more. Another reason why is because one more month of summer gives you more camps to go to, have a way longer time to visit family, and it lets you go on longer trips.
ReplyDeleteI am to choose between a 3-day weekend and a extra month of summer. I choose a 3-day weekend. Why? Because of the 5 following reasons-
ReplyDelete*We would get more relaxing time and more time for projects and homework that are do the next day.
* Our summer now is 2 1/2 (maybe) months. That is a pretty good amount of summer-out of school- no homework time.
* More time to go on mini trips and see family and spend time with (in the state family) family.
*There are 3 breaks in the school year (fall, winter and spring). That adds up to about 3 weeks out of school for, in school breaks.
* If you think about with the 3 breaks and the 3-day weekends all year long, that adds up to probably (almost, maybe) 1 month.
This concludes why I think that a 3-day weekend is better than a extra month of summer.
If I got to choose to have a extra month of summer, or if I got to have a 3 day weekend. I would choose getting a extra month of summer break because if you could have another month of summer break the weather would still be warm, and you would be able to go on really long trips. Also, I think it would be better to have another month of summer break because if you have a 3 day weekend that really cuts into your learning time a lot, and during summer you don't miss any work, and you will get a math, and reading assignment, so you can stay fresh over the summer, but if you are having a 3 day weekend you don't have any work to practice, but if you have a little homework that people usually do it on the first day. Also, an extra month of summer would be really great because you will have a really long time to do things, you won't ever be rushed, able to sleep in, and you will be able to stay up later than you would over a little 3 day weekend. I think it would be better to have a month extra of summer because you have more time with your family, and you could make memories with siblings that could be about to go to college.
ReplyDeleteI f I had to choose from having a 3-day weekend every week or having an extra month of summer vacation I would choose having an extra month of summer vacation. I would have an extra month of summer vacation because then I could go on long vacations during the extra month. I would have something to look forward to, and not have a short summer vacations I could also go to more camps during the extra month of summer vacation.. I prefer having an extra month of summer vacation than having a 3-day weekend every week.
ReplyDeleteI would rather have a three day weekend more than a extra month of summer because I wait all of the school year for summer, a longer summer would probably mean the year will feel longer, but if the school week was only four days would not make it feel long. All those three day weekends would add up to a month or two so that would be equal to the other option. Another reason is that you could get more gaming time with your friends, or go out with your family. I would rather have a three day weekend more than a extra month of summer because it would probably mean as much as a extra month.
ReplyDeleteIf I had the choice to have a 3-day weekend every week or have an extra month of summer vacation, I would choose the 3-day weekend every week. If I had a 3-day weekend every week I could do more of the things I love. For example, gymnastics, art, and playing with my family and neighbors. Also if I had a 3-day weekend I could go on longer weekend trips to go see extended family, or out of town family friends. If I had a 3-day weekend every week I would have to go to school less, and Mondays won't be such a rush. I prefer having a 3-day weekend rather than having an extra month of summer.
ReplyDeleteI would rather have a 3 day weekend than an extra month of summer because I could hang out with my friends, go shopping and take more mini trips. My supporting facts are that you could just waste some of that time in summer because you might not have anything planned.You have weekends much more often than your summer break. That is why I would prefer a three day weekend than an extra month of summer. BYE BYE!!
ReplyDeleteIf I had to choose between a three day weekend and a whole extra moth of summer vacation, I would choose a whole extra month of summer vacation. Here are some reasons.
ReplyDelete1.) You would get to stay much longer with your relatives if they lived in a different continent.
2.) You would have more time to go to many other places.
3.) You could have more time to relax and play in the sun.
4.) There would not be any homework for another whole entire month.
5.) There would be lots of rest in one big clump instead of having the free time broken up in pieces.
That is why I would prefer one more month vacation rather than a three day weekend.
I would rather have an extra month of summer vacation. I would like another month of summer vacation because you can do more camps. This summer I wanted to do the Oak Hill basketball camp but I had my sleep away camp the same week. If there was an extra month of summer, Oak Hill probably would've had another week of basketball camp and not just one. Another reason is because I don't get to have sleep overs in the summer because of all the camps I do. If there was an extra month of summer I could have sleep overs wth my freinds. I usaully only get to go on two trips at the most in the summer and if I had an extra month of summer I could go on more. I prefer a four month summer more than a three day weekend.
ReplyDeleteIf I had the choice to have a 3 day weekend every week or have an extra month of summer vacation, I would choose to have an extra month of summer vacation. I would choose to have an extra month of summer vacation because that would mean that I would get to have more time to rest before going into the next grade. Another reason is that I would have another month to go on more long vacations. Having an extra month of summer vacation would also give me more time to go swimming and hang out with my friends. The last 3 reasons I would rather have an extra month of summer is that I would have more time to spend with my family , play with with sister, and spend time playing with my 2 dogs Ellie and Gus.That's why I would prefer to have an extra month of summer vacation instead of having a 3 day weekend every week.
ReplyDeleteI would rather have a three day weekend,because I would be able to play more sports.I would also like it a lo because scouts would be easier to manage.my third reason is for extra sleep. I would love three day weekends.
