What do you think about time travel?  Please write 5 or more sentences on your opinion.

Ms. Nanna's example:
I think that time travel does exist. I  can choose to mentally time travel if I can read. Through books I get to visit strange and exotic lands that take place in the past, present, and future. I can emotionally time travel if I think an event that has happened in my life. Pretty soon I think scientist will solve the physical time travel question.  With time and science, I believe that anything is possible, even time travel.

There were a lot of behavior problems in 6th hour today. We had a bullying situation, many side conversations during discussion time, and one student actually got out of his seat and walked around the class. As of now, this class will be reading directly from the text book.  This assignment is worth 100 points due tomorrow.
