Film Fest 2012 Entry: Don't Be A Bully

Cheyenne's Explanatory Paragraph

One skill I learned in fifth grade is to be a better reader.  At Kearney, you have to read better and faster than you do in fifth grade. Also, in middle school you have to read a lot! It is fun to read, so that's why I really focused on becoming a better reader this year in fifth grade. Now when I go to middle school I will be ready. Plus, it is good to read... it is an important skill to have for more than just going to school.  I will use this skill the rest of my life and the better I am at it, the more successful I can be!

Bryan's Explanatory Paragraph

The skills that I learned in fifth grade that I will continue to use in middle school are finding the area and the angles of a rectangle and a triangle. Also finding the area of a rectangle is important because if the teacher gives me some problems I wouldn't be able to figure it out. Also, finding the angles of a triangle is important. In sixth grade, I wouldn't be able to finish the work that the sixth grade teacher gives me if I didn't have these skills.  I  would never finish it. This skill will help me in real world situations too.  If I'm trying to find the area of a room, a yard, the playground or the school, knowing the formulas and how to use them will come in very handy.
