Hi, Sharon! Last School lesson Gracie and I have different opinions. In my view, the first Thanksgiving were 1621 and she say, Thanksgiving were before. Because of this incident Mrs Tripp give us extra work. We must do a presentation about Thanksgiving. I don´t think it´s fair. Ciao Moritz

Hi Sharon,

today we had trouble in class and I want to tell you something about that. I told Gracie to at I would go to Plymouth for the big parade, because Thanksgiving began there. Suddenly she interrupted me and she wasn’t very polite. I tried to tell her the story, but she interrupted again in a loud tone. Then she was very angry and began to say that there were people before the Mayflower arrived. I knew that already, but there were just Indians like her. We moved on with our disagreement, but then Mrs Tripp broke in and said to us that we shouldn’t talk to us in this tone. Now we have to make a short presentation, so we can “share our opinions with the class, because they are all interested”. I hope you can imagine the situation now.

Good bye

Mike

Hi Sharon

How I you? Have you a good day? Today is a bad day by me because i had a conflikt with a girl in my class. Her name is Gracie. We have different opinions of Thanks giving. Gracie was so rude. It wasn't my fault so I don't think it is fair, thats Mrs. Tripp give us extra work and we must have make a presentation about Thanks giving. The way I see is, that it'ts Gracies fault, that Mrs Tripp interrupt the lesson. That is so unfair! I don't like her. Everytime she is so rude and now I must make a presentation with her. Please write me back and I hope the next day will be better. Ok by!

Your Mike

Hi, Sharon!

Today in school I was a little bit rude because Gracie, Mrs Tripp and I have angry about Thanksgiving. Mrs Tripp gave us extra work for home but in my view was that very stupid and I don’t think it’s fair. Even though we interrupt the lesson Gracie was angry and we fight us again. After the extra homework we must make a presentation that we call “why we don’t fight us”, it was a partner work and for this we must tolerate us. It was totally stupid and Gracie wanted to be the boss the whole time. But she can’t do this because than we must the work and she make her nails :).Our work was over and we did not like each other anymore. I didn’t steel your time with that.

See you!

Mike

Hi, Sharon!

How are you? I’m very angry because we had trouble in the class.

Today we talk about thanksgiving and where and when it begun. Mrs Tripp gave me and Gracie an extra work because Gracie and I were different meanings. Both of us must do a presentation. I think you know Plymouth. In my view thanksgiving begun in Plymouth at 1621 because the Pilgrims arrived at 1620. Gracie thinks the first thanksgiving was before that because there were other people before that. She means the Indians. So we have different opinions. And then Ms Tripp gave us the extra work. It’s so bad and it isn’t fair. I wouldn’t do this presentation. I’m very angry about Mrs Tripp and Gracie.

Please tell me your opinion. What do you think, when was the first thanksgiving? And do you think the extra work is fair?

Dear Mike

Hi Sharon, I hope you are fine. Because I´m very angry. I would tell you something what makes me very angry.

Today at school we talked about the Thanksgiving. We talked about our holidays and instead of the studying the American Revolution.

But when we talked about that and I said that the Thanksgiving begun in 1621 in Plymouth, but Gracie said that Thanksgiving begun in 1620 in the Mayflower. So we both had different opinions. But then I said that´s wrong but she just thinks she is right. And I sad she´s wrong because it was in the Mayflower and that was in 1621. Then she interrupted me again, and she been angrier and angrier. After that I said that Indians like her were very friendlier. And then our teacher Mr. Tripp interrupted us. She said that be both had to do a presentation. But I don´t think that´s fair because, I just say what´s write and Gracie had to do a presentation to see that she´s wrong. In my view I think that´s a better idea when she just has to do the extra homework. I wish you share the same meaning, because I think it´s not fair. And now I can do extra homework. Dear Mike

Hi, Sharon!

Today we´ve spoke about the first Thanksgiving. In my view the first Thanksgiving were when the pilgrims and the Native Americans had their first corn in winter. I wanted to say this, so I started to tell, but an Indian girl in my class, Gracie, interrupted me and said, all what I said is crap. The class had a public viewing of an argument in class. At a point, Mrs Tripp interrupted the argument and told us, we had to give a presentation about Thanksgiving. In my view just Gracie should give a presentation. It´s not my fault that she interrupted me. I don´t think that´s fair. That´s the way I see it. By the way, can you help me to find information about Thanksgiving? You lived near the reservation, maybe you can ask some of the Native Americans.

Greetings

Mike
