Write a one paragraph response to answer the question below. Use at least 7 of last week's vocabulary words.

One day, when you're middle aged and have teenage children of your own, you may impart to your children certain aspects of your own teen years. As your children listen to your tales, their respect for you grows incrementally, as they learn the details of your arduous life. What will you say to your children about the life that you currently enjoy?


(Place in bold each vocabulary word)

I will tell my children only FACTUAL things. I will tell him or her that despite of everything else you are your own person and dont like no body tell you anything different. I would be a primary source so i would be giving them EVIDENCE from my own life. I will also say life is too short to make it go to waste. A lot of people will tell you so much OPINIONS of there owns but you need to have your own opinions and goals in life.Sometimes in life you might want to live a FASTASY but that wont happen. You have to live up to reality in life.Life would change alot when I am middle aged but you will have your own THEORY on life. When I was a teenager I had to PROVE and CONFIRM everything and I hope you do the same.

I will tell my sisters children factual things that happen to me and her throughout our life time. I will tell them i was once their age and i would have fantasy dreams of my prince to be. I would tell them that my prince like me back. I would prove it to them by showing them text messages between us. Then i know they would try to make up another that i was wrong and they was right. I would tell them i love having mrs.hosannah as a teacher because she was very funny. Then i would give them 90 bucks to kept their mouths shut when i tell them serects about their mom. Then i would confirm they never heard it from me.

I would tell my children that no matter what happens in life never be afraid to do something you want to and to learn from the experiences I as a teenager. I would also tell them PROVEN life stories and use my teenage years as EVIDENCE that what ever they learned can to happen to them and to live life to the fullest.

If i was middle aged and i wanted to tell about the currentlife to my kds enjoy i would tell them like this. It wasnt easy going through the struggles that people are facing right now.It was hard and i had to overcome many different obstacles. It was hard and a struggle. Especiall if you ever have a ELA teacher like Mrs. THall. If she said you didnt have work and the EVIDENCE to prove it then your'e not getting off her list now. Iwill also tell them we had to let her fiction and non-fiction in the text. And it was far from the elementary school level. At first i just thought it was going to be easy understanding what fiction and non-fiction is, but it's at a whole entire level. I would tell them Mrs. THall REVEAL the work to us. The TRUTH cant hurt wuth only plain words and now its still challenging. Its always believable when Mrs. THall prove the facts down to you right in your face and that is that. its always FACTUAL information and no 6 grade work.Its not a dream its the thereality of the real world

If I became middle aged and had children , I would REVEAL the TRUTH
of my life and show EVIDENCE to prove it, not spread a bunch of lies saying how good I was at everything . To make sure that my children would know that my story is BELIEVABLE , I would show them the FACTUAL history of my life ,instead of boasting FICTIONAL lies .And to make sure they understood the REALITY of my history, I would show recorded videos of me in special moments of my life .

i will tell my children lots of experiences i had and back it up with EVIDENCE. i will only tell them the FACTUAL stuff but tell them straight up. i wouldn't tell them a lie i will tell them straight up what the TRUTH is and not have them waiting and worrying on what goes on in life. i will PROVE to them that its real and many of these things happen in real life.i will tell them i was a wild one and was sneaky on the down low.i will show them that it can be all a FANTASY but can be base on a REALITY. but when it comes to a time it can be ups and downs and how not to make no one show that you are different because you are just the same. i will also say to never judge a book by its cover and never show that you can be better than anyone and prove that your right or wrong. because in life everyone one is wrong and makes mistakes. people like me always use to say how they wish they can rewind time back to make things better but you cant its just apart of life. i will also PERSUADE,them to not tell there father anything and not to ask no questions. and buy them something to keep quiet. :)

When I have children, I would not tell them FACTUAL information. I would tell them fragmented REALITY, and make sure they would never find out the truth. I would have PERSUADED them to think life is all fun and games, sunshine, lolipops, and rainbows everywhere so the can grow up having opinions and imagination, not like a office lakeys in a cubical that just types and writes paperwork all day.

Well I would say I enjoyed my life without kids. I would also say if I didn't have you guys I would go out for dinner with your mom. But I would give them FACTUAL details on how I would I spent my life as a youngyin. I would tell how I had plenty of friends and I would show them an album for EVIDENCE & PROOF. I would tell them how much I disliked some teachers.How much of a BIAS person I could really be. I would tell them all of my THEORIES as a kid which I know they would be intrested in and give chances to give OPINIONS on how my life is. But as of this moment me telling them that is very ILLOGICAL. I mean c'mon.

I would tell my children TRUE and FACTUAL things about my life and i would try to PERSUADE them into BELIEVING that my child years were cool and great by adding some FICTIONAL stuff.

I will tell my children only FACTUAL information. Also I will give them proof that i play baseball,basketball,and football. In order to PROVE that I played those three sports I will show them pictures of me in my uniform. Also don't let people OPINIONS get to your head cause you know who you are. Sometimes the things you might talk about may be BIAS so,you will need EVIDENCE to COMFIRM that it is true. NO matter what people tell you about me I'm the PRIMARY SOURCE and they're the SECONDARY SOURCE.

Kids usually like to hear tales that are ''factual'' and that may give them a ''fantasy''. I will tell them my own ''theory'' about how life is and to enjoy it the best you can. i will also tell them that people can be ''bias'' and ''contradict'' on your dreams. i will give them ''evidence'' of some kind, for them to ''investigate'' on. i will tell them that they just have to ''persuade'' the audience for it to believe what they're saying and will tell them that's what i did that got me here with them that day.

When i'm middle aged have children of my own, I will teach them that they should always tell the truth and things they hear may not always be TRUE.Anytime you try to explain things to people you should have any type of EVIDENCE and these evidence should be FACTUAL.I will always tell them that i was one day their age so they dont feel left as a kid (even though that probably wont help).

“When I was your age, I had extremely fun times as a teen. In my opinion, what I did as a teen to have fun is better than what the kids your age are doing for fun. When I say fun, I mean when I threw cake at Chinira at her sweet 16. My friends and I, Zachary, Ode, and Njehan, went over to each other’s houses to play games and go outside. It’s believable because they lived around the corner and that’s what most kids do. The one that got me in trouble was Eleseah Cunningham; the food fights (which I won) were too much. Our rivalry had started in second grade when she claims I pushed her into a poison ivy shrub although there is no evidence to confirm this. In college, we called a truce on old rivalries. Now I am enjoying a life with you kids right now. I will do my best to make sure that you have great teenage years. You’re mom is having a fantasy living with me. I’m pretty sure your theory of life is ecstatic and all about non-stop action. Now we enjoy ourselves when we have quiet time alone and travel the world.”
I hope the talk with my kids will persuade them to do things that they never tried before.

I would tell my new teacher the FACTUAL advice that I have learned for my self. DESPITE the fact that I am young to be telling a teacher my honest opinion for EXAMPLE if I was to be a new teacher at a new school I would tell them his because your true teacher isant hear that does not mean you change your personality. If they don't be there self they would not reach anywhere in life but I will have EVIDENCE that they will change if they will act There normal way. We as teachers as to PROVE to the kids they are not in charge and they are not living a FANTASY life this is the real deal. TALIAH MORGAN CLASS 271

First of all I will make sure everything I tell them is FACTUAL.I will tell them how there are kidnappers in the world.The EVIDENCE I will have to back that up is the little boy named Patrick Alford that was kidnapped in 2008 and they still didnt find hi. The only FICTION story my kids will know about is Cinderella because eveything else I tell them is REALITY.This will all be the TRUTH.I will REVEAL to them everything I witnessed when I was younger because I did witness alot and it will help them have a better AWARENESS of life.

I will tell my children the TRUTH in how you would get in trouble in school for running in the hall.I will also tell them FACTUAL things such as if you talked back to your own mother you would get slapped.I would also tell them how life seemed like a FICTION book because of all the things that would go on in the world such as bullies and earthquakes.I would also tell them how life was like a REALITY tv show because sometimes kids/adults would just stare at you for no reason.I would also tell them about the law,how you must have EVIDENCE before cops can arrest someone.To make my story BELIEVEABLE i will tell them that my ELA teacher Mrs Hall lived longer then me so maybe they could ask her and hopefuly see that i had REAVELEVED the truth.

I would tell my child all of the FACTUAL thing i did when i was their age and tell them all the UNFACTUAL things I did.I will also tell my child/children not to do what I did when i was in school.What I mean by that is the way I was in class.I would tell them to pay attention in all class.To do all homework and classwork as well.To stay out of trouble.I would give them EVIDENCE to why doing all of this would be a good thing to do.I always be their for them.I would tell them that their FANTASY is good at some point in time.I will CONFIRM that they still have to stay on task in class.THEORY'S that they have on anything can most likely will be answered in class.I will PROVE that from doing all of this it will bring them far in life like they would never thought of. That is what I would tell my child/children about what i was like when I was their age.

When i am older and have children of my own,who are growing to be mature adults. I would tell them FACTUAL stuff about my past.I wouldn't want them to make the same mistakes i did growing up. Things i would tell them will be the TRUTH. I would tell them that i loved hanging out with my freinds after school and told them about the crushes i had on some boys. I would also tell them about the teachers i had and how they helped me pass so i could go to the next grade. I would invite some of my old freinds over to prove to them that i was once their age and went through the same stuff they might be going through in their life.

One day when I am older and have children of my own, I will tell them about my UNBELIEVABLE childhood. Every thing that I will tell my children will be the TRUTH and also FACTUAL. I will tell my children that even though some of the things that I did were not the best, I will still try to PERSUADE them to do good. I hope that the EVIDENCE that I PROVIDE will PROVE to them that even though life may be crazy, you can still make the best of it.

I would tell my children FACTUAL things about my life at their age. Plus I would have EVIDENCE because of my yearbook. To CONFIRM that I am not lying I would have to get my old friends from the 8th grade to PROVE it. I would also say that I had a lot of BIAS people while I was in 8th grade. People would say the most ILLOGICAL things you could ever hear, but then again everyone had their own OPINIONS. I would also tell my kids how great the 8th grade experience was.

I will tell my chldren only things that are FACTUAL. They need to know that my life was also difficult and all the hardship I had to go through. Many parents will only tell their children OPINIONS about this cruel world. And they sweet it up. But I Will give them EVIDENCE to show them that things may sosmetimes come easy but not all the time. I want to be the first person that my children come to. I want their goals to be realistic not a FANTASY. I want them to have their own THEORY on how life should be. Then I would PROVE to them it aint easy. And CONFIRM their questions but hope them come as well as I did by pushing them along the way.
