Today we all made passports for ourselves. Our new handmade passports allow us to enter into the “Kingdom of Shuan.” We studied the strange message on the British passport. It says, “. . . allow the bearer to pass free without let or hindrance. . .” and “. . . afford the bearer as much assistance and protection as may be necessary.” Now we can use our passports as our bathroom pass too. We are keeping journals on what we’ve been doing, for example, new vocabulary and past simple. Here is an entry by Teresa:

How was your day?

-Did an exam

-Made a passport

-Played basketball

-Played tennis

-Answered questions
