Journal 11: Dr Dolittle

Here's a silly journal topic for you!

One of my favorite movies as a child was Doctor Dolittle. It was about this professor named Dolittle who learned all the animals' languages. He could speak with every animal! Most people didn't believe him, of course. It always made me wonder, however, what animals would have to say to us if they did have a language of their own.




Prompt: What would happen if animals could talk? What are some of the questions you would like to ask animals?

Due Friday, March 4th by 10PM.

Note: You can listen to and read the story here.


Man is an animal too,

Journal 10: Advice


People seek advice from friends, role models, teachers, and families. Americans often write in to newspaper advice columns like Dear Abby. I think some people love to give advice - maybe even a little too much!

Prompt: What is the best advice you were ever given? Did you follow this advice? What happened? Alternatively, what is the best advice you have ever given?

Due: Wednesday, March 2nd. 10PM

Note: You'll notice we use words like seek, give, and follow with advice. Try to use these correctly in your journal.
