Here is your "Would You Rather" for today:
Would you rather have a three-day weekend every week or have an extra month of summer vacation?
I cannot wait to see what you will write!
Your teacher,
Mrs. Eads
P.S.-Here is my example:
If I had the choice to have a three-day weekend every week or have an extra month of summer vacation, I would rather have a three-day weekend every week. If I had a three-day weekend instead of two 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! However, some may prefer an extra month of summer vacation because they could take longer trips. I think the benefits of longer weekends out weigh the benefits of an extra month of summer. I prefer having a three-day weekend rather than having another month of summer vacation.
I would have a three day weekend because then you get to play with your friends more and you don’t have to run errands or anything like that. You also get less school. However some people say that an extra month of summer would be better but then it’s just boring because your friends are at camps somewhere else and you don’t have anyone to play with! In my opinion three day weekends are so much better
ReplyDeleteI would to have an extra weekend day instead of the extra month of summer break. Because on the weekend it is more off of school every week.It is also more time to watch tv. The last reason is that you could invite friends over every weekend if you are bored
ReplyDeleteI would rather have an extra month of summer because it would give you more time to sleep in. Also you could go to the beach and pool more. You could also spend more time with your family. Some people having a three day weekend is better because you only have a four day school week, but you would have to make it up at the end of the school year.
ReplyDeleteI would rather have a three day weekend than an extra month of summer. Having a three day weekend, I would have more time to relax before another day of school. Other people might choose an extra month of summer, but usually I get bored and I'm eager to go back to school. More free time and more family time.
ReplyDeleteI would rather go on a three day weekend than a extra month of summer. I would only have four days of school,have more time to play with my friends, and spend time with my family.Some may think you can go on long trips but I prefer being able to go on short trips but you could go on many of them, and do to a ton of places.That is why I chose to do a three day weekend every week rather than a extra month of summer.Less work is more fun.
ReplyDeleteI would rather have a 3-day weekend. If I had a 3-day weekend I could get homework done easier because we have a longer amount of time. Another reason is that I would have more time to relax and play. I would have enough time to visit my grandparents and other close family members. Some people might want an extra month of summer, but if you only had a 2-day weekend you couldn't do anything I just talked about. You would also have shorter school weeks. Less school and more playing is what I like to do.
ReplyDeleteI would rather have a 3 day weekend every week over a extra month of summer because the 3 day weekend ads up to be more than 1 month! But, some people think that you could have longer trips, but you could probably go on a short 2 day trip! Also,there is only a 4 day school week! That´s why I choose the 2 day week every week over the extra month of summer!!!!!! :]
ReplyDeleteI would choose having a 3 day weekend every week because you could have more time to spend at home. Also, you could have more time to spend with your family like going out to eat. However, some people could argue that it would be better to have an extra month of summer to go to camp and to go on long family trips, but I think that a 3 day weekend is better because there are only 4 days to trudge through. These are just some of the reasons why i think a 3 day weekend is better than an extra month of summer.
ReplyDeleteI would rather have a three day weekend rather than an extra month of summer. I don't mind reading an extra thirty minutes so that's fine. Now four days of school every week is great! I know some would argue the other way to. They may say say well you get an extra long school year. You would have more time to play and on half days the week would be very short. I wish three day weekends were real!
ReplyDeleteWould you rather have a three day weekend or, an extra month of summer. The thing about having a extra month of summer is that you can go to more camps,less school,and tons of fun. Also having a three day weekend would be cool. You can have small trips,extra family time,and tons of relaxation. Also you get less school. The bad part is that school gets made up and you have 90 min. of reading. I chose one extra month of summer.
ReplyDeleteI would rather have a three day weekend than have an extra month of summer. For example you only have four days of school, And another reason is that you can do all you homework In 2 days and have 1 day to rest. Also, I could go on a 2 day weekend and have one day at home. Although some may think extra summer is more fun,Having three days to rest and play is the real fun thing. More time to sleep sounds good to me,so I want 3 days of fun.
ReplyDeleteI would rather have a three day weekend, because I would have less school in a week,more free time,and weekend and week would almost be equal. However,some people would prefer to have an extra month of summer, so they could have more free time, more vacation, and more summer, but if you had three days a weekend you could do some much more, and you would be able to have even more small breaks than a big one. I think that extra weekend sounds pretty great!
ReplyDeleteI would rather have an extra mouth of summer vacation than have a three-day weekend every week. One reason is I could go to more camps. Another reason is I could go on longer vacations. Last but not least I could have more time at the pool. However, some people might prefer to have a extra day on the weekend to have less school but I would prefer to have an extra mouth of summer vacation, to go on longer trips. That is why I would want a longer summer vacation, instead of a extra day on the weekend.
ReplyDeleteI would rather have an extra month of summer. Here or my reasons why. There would be less school to put in more summer. I would not have to read as much every day for my thousand minutes. Other people might want a three day weekend and I understand that but I would rather have a whole month bunched in one not in parts. That is my opinion and that is theirs. Those are my reasons why I want a longer summer.
ReplyDeleteI would rather have an extra month of summer vacation than a three day weekend. If I had an extra month of summer vacation, I would have time to do more things. I would also have school over with, and I wouldn't have to stay longer. I also wouldn't have to go to school in August. However, other people would rather have a three day weekend and get 4 days of school, but if there was an extra month of summer, you would have time to do more things! that is why I would rather have an extra month of summer vacation than a three day weekend.
ReplyDeleteI would rather have an extra month of Summer rather than a three day weekend. For example, I would get to celebrate my B-day on a day with no school.I would also get to see my cousins longer because, they are always gone for a month every Summer. However, some people may think that a 3 day weekend is better. I think an extra month of Summer is better because, you would still have 1,000 minutes of reading in a longer period of time, but you would have 90 minutes of reading in an equal amount of time. Longer Summer = FUN!!!
ReplyDeleteI would pick 3 day weekend because you can do more activities and be a couch potato and watch TV. However , people want more summer but you would have the same amount of school. More weekends mean fum and time for fun. That is why I want a three day weekend.
ReplyDeleteI would rather have a three day weekend. I think having a longer weekend and a shorter week would be awesome, because you could do so much more! Some people might say that, "Oh no, you don't get to have as many trips in the summer!" But actually you can take short two day trips over the weekend. That is why I would have a longer weekend.
ReplyDeleteI would rather have an extra month of summer than have a 3 day weekend. If we had an extra month of summer, I could do so much more. I would take a LONG trip, visit my friends and family, and go to amusement parks. Also, I could relax and swim more. However, others may prefer to have a 3 day weekend, but if there is a longer summer you can enjoy warm days, and warm nights. That is why I choose to have a longer summer. This means more swimming and relaxing.
ReplyDeleteI would rather have an extra month of summer than a 3 day weekend. Then I would have more time to go on vacation and have more spend the nights. Last I would have more time to do summer homework. Although some people may like a 3 day weekend better I would prefer a longer summer. And that is why I would rather have an extra month of summer than a 3 day weekend.
ReplyDeleteI would choose 3 day weekends because if you choose 3 day weekends you would have more no school days. some may choose more summer because you can go on trips.
ReplyDeleteI would want one more month of summer. That would mean less school and more vacation time. Also, we can have more time to do our summer homework. Thirdly, we can start school closer to a holiday break. Some people may say that three days in a weekend would be better, but you get less summer. If you had one more month of summer, you don't have as much school as you normally would have.
ReplyDeleteI would rather have an extra month of summer vacation than a three day weekend. If I had an extra month of summer vacation, I could go on long trips, and have more relation time. I could also have more time to swim in the pool. However, some people may prefer to have a three day weekend, so that you can go on short trips. But I think that an extra month of summer vacation would mean long trips all the time. More time to relax means fun time, all the time1

I would rather have an extra month of summer vacation. If I did have a three day weekend I could do lots of things like hanging out with family and friends. I could also have sleepovers, and go on small trips. However, I would like to have one more month of summer because you wouldn't have have to do any work. Plus you would get even more trips that are even loner! That is why I would have an extra month of vacation.
ReplyDeleteI would rather have an extra month of summer vacation. If I had a month of vacation I would have extra time to play and go to the beach. I would also relax and have extra time to do things. However, some people may want a 3 day weekend and get less school, but if you had an extra month of vacation you would have lots of fun and go to places. That is why I would want an extra month of vacation. The more time to play is always better!
ReplyDeleteI would rather have an extra month of school than an extra day for each weekend. First of all you get more time off than if you had a three day weekend. You would also have more time to go on vacation. Other reason is you would have more time with your family. However you may chose three days as you weekend so then you would have more time to relax. But I would chose more summer over less days of if you chose a 3 day weekend.
ReplyDeleteI would rather have an extra month of summer instead of a three-day weekend every week. On an extra month, it would be warm because the month would be either be May or September (my birthday month) off. It is usually hot in those months so you could go to the beach or go to other warm places. In the summer you usually have cold desserts including ice-cream and you can go to the pool with your friends. However, some people say that having a three-day weekend is better because you only have 4 school days in a week and you can go on two day trips, but if you have an extra month in the summer, you can have longer trips. Also, you can go to camps longer because camps are usually in the summer. An extra month of summer would be great!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI would rather have one extra month of summer vacation over a three day weekend. I could be with my friends and family alot more. The pool would be open an extra month! I could also delay the family trip so I could get more time to relax.
ReplyDeleteOther people may think having an extra day of the weekend would be better but I think not, because that means a couple extra weeks of school, who wants that? Summer in Nashville is great!!!!!!! MORE SUMMER LESS SCHOOL!!!!!!!!
I would rather have an extra month of summer than have a three day weekend. If I had an extra month of summer I would have more time to go on trips with my family, also I would be able to go to sleep away camp for a longer amount of time. However, some people would rather have a three day weekend because there would only be four days of school in a week. Also, you can go on a lot of short two day trips, but, you can go on longer trips if you have an extra week of summer. That is why I would rather have an extra month of summer.
ReplyDeleteI would rather have extra summer in my opinion because you get three months of summer. Also you get to relax, play, go to sport camps,and swim at the pool.You get to play with your friends,you can play with your siblings.Some people might think 3 day weekends every week would be good but I think extra summer is better. I think extra summer vacation is better because,you can play a lot.
ReplyDeleteI would rather have an extra month of summer than a three day weekend. If we got an extra month of summer we could have more time to go on more vacations, and we don't half to worry about school because it's still a month away! Also we get more time to sleep in! However some people think having three days on a weekend is better, Because you have more time to do your homework, but after school on Friday you could also do your homework. When you get an extra month of summer you have less of a month of school! So that why I think we should have a extra month of summer!!!
ReplyDeleteI would rather see ten years into my future, however others might want to see one year into the world’s future.
ReplyDeleteI think it would be better to see my future because I could find ways to avoid more problems that might accrue. I also might be able to get a sneak peek about the world, will self driving cars be out? Will we be able to transport? I could help myself be a better person, or if I’m going to be famous know what to expect! The world is always changing and so are we! We need to take control of our future! Others might think it would be would be cooler to see one year in the world's future, I know the world would just change one year everything will probably be the same.
That’s why I think I would choose 10 years into my future!
I would rather be able to see one year into the world's future than ten years into my own future. I would know how everything would turn out. I could tell my dad to buy a stock market knowing it was going to go up a ton. Also, I could save someone because I would kmnow something bad was going to happen. I would know what the weather was and I could plan something on a warm day. However, some people would like to see ten years into their future. They would know what their job was and know what to practice so they could be good at it. Even knowing that I would rather be able one see one year into the world’s future. That is why I would want to go one year into the future.
