Sarah Hale used the power of writing to support a cause and create a national holiday. How would you use writing to change our world? Write what you think could be done to promote change. Justify your answer with examples, details, or facts. Use the magic rule of three.
Example:
I would like to propose a national holiday to honor the oldest child in families across the United States. Oldest children often have to take over chores at an early age. They often have to babysit little brothers and sisters. This can be such a pain because younger siblings often don't behave and are quite messy. Oldest children also have to set an example for their younger brothers and sisters, too. They rarely get to misbehave, and that should be a part of growing up. It's a lot of pressure to be good all the time. Finally, oldest children are the guinea pigs for their parents. Parents learn how to be parents using their oldest children to try out new parenting skills. Sometimes parents make mistakes, and oldest children are the ones to suffer because of them. So I propose a holiday to honor oldest children all across our nation in honor of all the hardships they face on a daily basis!
I would like a national scoliosis day accross the u.s. scoliosis is a disease that happens to the back. some kids and teens have to have surgery to fix thier backs. scoliosis is the curvature of your spine. which basicly means your spine is not straight. this is a worldwide issue that should be recignized. believe it or not..... ok... you cant tell anyone... i even have scoliosis! you may not have known this but it is pretty common. i believe that this is really important and needs to be recignized as a holiday. in conclusion i would like to purpose a holiday to recignize scoliosis. p.s. you can keep my secret...right?
ReplyDeleteMy holliday is going to be Childrens Day. It is where you take your child where ever they want to go, then where ever you want to go. Then keep switching off until you and your child are to tired to go any where but your home.
ReplyDeleteP.S. this day is going to be on your childs b-day.

ReplyDeleteDear, to whome it may consern
I think we should have a National No School Week. I think we should have this holiday because students grades 1st-12th have to go to school five days a weeek. Also we only have a two and a half month summer break. Last but not least the, last reason is....... school is hard and kind of boring.
My holiday honors special needs kids and how they have disibilities.I honor this because they make great friends,they are really fun to have around, and they are just so special. This is why I honor a special needs kids holiday.
ReplyDeleteI would like to propose a holiday Candy Day. I think we should do this because not alot of kids get to eat candy.Also more kids would want to go to school. Another reason is parents would not have to cook.Next if we put it after to Halloween familys could get rid of their candy.Lastly if we put it on Thanksgiving we could stuff the turkey with candy instead of normal stuffing.
ReplyDeleteMy hoiday would honor GIRLS because girls can make a diffrence. Just because girls are not tough dosnt mean they cant be a race car driver, a football player, or even the president. WE CAN MAKE A DIFFRENCE. So if youre a girl get up and show your girl power. Do it be a girl!

My holiday is no school for a week because kids need to be kids and have fun and have no homework and when the kids gat back they have to give you teachers candy for a week p.s 1 peice of candy.
ReplyDeleteSoccer day on september 12 because we will have soccer people will come and we get to meat cool soccer players.Them we will play some soccer.That is 3 thing why I wout soccer day.
ReplyDeleteI wood like a day cold footballn day. Every body wood dress up as football players.Every body wood compet in the alltoment football game.After the football game evey body cold get to gether and have a big fest.
ReplyDeleteMy holiday is going to be Little Brother Day. Little Brother Day is when the oldest child in the family has to take care if his little brothers. The first reason we should have this holiday is because the oldest child in the family needs to know how to take care of childen when he/she gets married. The second reason we should have this holiday is so the parents know he/she is responsible. The third reason we should have this holiday is so he/she knows what to do for childen. Thats why we should have Little Brother Day.
ReplyDeleteI think Docter and Nurse Appreciation Day should be hoiday. We should have Docter and Nurse Appreciation Day because all the medical help we all get we should take the time to thank the docters and nurses. We should also have Docter and Nurse Appreciation Day because if you donate money to the hospital then the hospital could get more equipment like beds.finally we should have this day because it would make the care givers feel more needed than they already are. that is why we need Docter and Nurse Apprecaition Day.
ReplyDeleteMy holiday is going to be called National Opposite Day. To have fun,to where different clothes, and where cool and crazy socks.To have family members over to have fun.To see funny opposite clothes.To also have afun holiday.
ReplyDeleteMy holiday is No School Day.It is kind of like the weekend but you have no school for about 2 weeks! You will get know home work and you don't have to get your parents intials or read.When you go to school the next morning all thats on the bord is... party! But you do have to give the teachers something like candy from the party.
ReplyDeleteMy holiday is a small neighborhood holiday.It is a celebration for the life of every person in a small community.And I think so because you get to know your neighbors.You could get new friends and you would have a feast.
ReplyDeletei would want a national hunters day because men and women boys and girls who love hunting could go out and could shoot bears deer wild boar and be safe doing it. Sons and daughters would have a blast doing it and I think it would be fun for parents to go hunting with there sons,daughters,husbands and wifes.
ReplyDeletenational Clean Up Day
ReplyDeleteI think that we should pick up trash on Wednesday.We could have a cleaner world. it should be on Wednesday because it is in the middle of the week so we would not have to clean up every day. It would only be once a week. It could be a benefit to all of us in the world and our world would be much better if we clean up every week. We would not get sick and we could go to school. We would not have to step in nasty stuff.
ReplyDeleteNational Baseball Day!
I think we should have National Baseball Day because kids would be active playing it. Being active can keep your body in shape and healthy. You could also have fun playing with your friends. playing can take some stress of because you could have fun. If you played on that day, you could learn how to play baseball. Maybe baseball could really interest you and make you want to keep playing.
I purpose football day. We should have that day becouse if people like to watch football that day, footballgames could be on t.v. Another reason is becouse if kids wanted to play football, they could play on football day. Another reason is becouse if you wanted to surport your best collage or Nfl team, you could waer your favrote football team jersy. That is why we should have football day
ReplyDeleteI think we should have a childrens day.Parents say that we are so specail,so we should have a day for us, just like mothers day and fathers day.I know that we have our birthdays and christmas but we need a day all about us just like parents,so this new hoilday will be on April,24 every year until there is NO MORE LIVES on the planet EARTH
ReplyDeleteI would want All Sports Day.If you were to like the Bengals and your favorite player is A.J Green then you could wear an A.J Green jeresy on All Sports Day.Another thing you could do is root on your favorite team.EX.COME ON A.J GREEN GET A TOUCH DOWN!I also think we should have a game on All Sports Day.
ReplyDeleteThat is why I think we should have an All Sports Day!!!
National No School Week!
ReplyDeleteI think we should have national no school week. Many children around the world need personel time to do catchup work for parents and others. Also some kids need some time to relax and take a day wherever it takes them. Also it would be a good time for parents to bond with their families and children. Thats why we should have National No school Week! Thank You.
My natinol day would be celebrate young brothers and sisters around the world. We should celebrate this day because parents make us do too many chores like taking out the trash, cleaning your room every day, and parents don't have to. Worst thing of all, we can't make our own choices, they make them for us, like playing a sport you do not want to play. The worst of all, older brothers and sisters! They make fun of us when guests are over and pick on us or worse... an atomic wedgie in front of your freainds.Thats why I want natinol celebrate young brother and sister day all around the world.
ReplyDeleteI think we should have a National Soldier Recognition day.
ReplyDeleteIt would be a great time for soldiers to enjoy a day off to do whatever they want. People would recognize how hard the soldiers work. National Soldier Day would tell the armed forces we care!
I propose having National Town Pie Day. A town's population would gather at an indoor or outdoor location and bring pie with a few extra recipies. That way if I liked a recipie I could take a recipie and make my own. Everybody would have full bellies from eating pie. It would help picky eaters try new foods tasty style. It would also be a time to socialize. Kids and parents could make new friends. That is why our country should have National Town Pie Day.
ReplyDeleteI think we should have a national soccer day. I also think we should honor all soccer players so they know they have some appreciation. Another thing is I think we should let whoever won the championship show of moves. Also we should have a soccer day so kids, teenagers, and adults get up get outside and get active. Thats why I think we should have a national soccer day.
ReplyDeleteI think switchorew day(for school) could be a national holiday that happens every year on the last friday of the school year. I think it would be a good idea because it is a good opertuity to have kids switch with teachers,teachers switch with cafeatera ladies and princeapals switch with kids. You find out what you are when you pick out of a hat and what ever you are when you pick that is what you are for the school day. You can't be the same person you already are if you do draw the same thing you draw again. I also think it is a good idea because it is a way to find out how hard peoples jobs are and a good way to learn responsablity. I also thhink it is a good idea because it is a good way to learn and have fun and also be ready for hard things you will need to learn and have fun at the sametime. That is why I think that switchorew day could be a good national holiday.
ReplyDeleteI think that we should have a leftys day. It would be a good idea to celebrate lefty's day because there are not many leftys in the world. There are certainly more rightys than leftys in the world. Also we should have leftys day because people usually think it's weird that us leftys write with our left hand. That's just because they're right handers and they're just jealous.another reason is that my old teacher was left handed and she said that left handed people use the right side of their brain. I always agreed with her. in conclusion all I'm saying is that leftys need to have a day where nobody makes fun of them. Also where we can write in peace.
ReplyDeleteNational Christmas Month I think national christmas month is good we can all celebrate Jeuses brithday. We can take a break for a long time and parents can spend time with us longer. Teachers can spend more time with their kids and so we can do want we want to do for a long time. Mabye it would be good if we have a national christmas mouth I think kids would like it.
ReplyDeleteI think we should have a INTERNATIONAL TOY DAY because children all over the world will get a new toy instead of that boring old toy that their parents bought last month. Shops will also gain a lot of profit from the money they get from the sales. They will get more money to order more toys for next year. If parents buy their children a good toy,then they might get lucky and will not have to buy a toy for their children until next toy day.(Warning for children, do not lose your brand new toy).Every toy store will have a 25% discount sign outside. Every isle will be full, even the storage rooms. The lego isles, the beyblade isles, everything. The toy shops like TOYS R US will be bustling with people but mostly children. I think that maybe we should let the children vote for how frequently it should come by. That is why I think we should have a INTERNATIONAL TOY DAY. Get there before sales run out!
ReplyDeleteMy holiday idea is family day. This would be a good holiday because you would be able to see family that you don't see often. Another reason it would be a good holiday is that you could learn more about your family, like who your great great great grand parents are. It would be the only day that there would be no school that day just to see family because who would want school in the middle of the only day you get to see every one in your family.
ReplyDeleteI think that we should have toy day. This is because all of marysville would come together in a big big gym. Then when we get together we can have a toy trading convention. Next we can all join and pray for all the toys we got. Last but not least we can play all day till we go to sleep. That is why I think toy day would be awesome!
ReplyDeleteNational no homework Week!!!!
ReplyDeleteI think we should have a National no homework week because children work really hard on our homework alot. For some of you kids, homework is really difficult. so 1stgraders, 2nd graders, and 3rd graders should not have homework as hard as it is! But it doesn't matter what grade. also the adults don't have to help you with it if their busy at the time. I hope that this becomes a real holiday soon in the future.
I think there should be a Lazy Day! This is a day were you get to do anything you want! Are you tired of going to work? Well now you don't have to If there was a National Lazy Day! Are you tired of cleaning your house. Wait what am I saying!Everyone is tired of cleanig there house!Thats why there shold be a Lazy Day.
ReplyDeleteI would like to have a National Sports Day. Each family could get at least one adult and have each family go to a big comunity games they could have there own games for evry onein the comunity. It would be gould for our bodies and, hart but it will be vary fun also. so if we all joined twice a month so dring the sumer you can have fun with family.
