5th grade writing prompt!

I like answering fifth grade writing prompts. This I feel was a fun one to answer.

Your family has just moved to a country where you don’t speak the language. What will you do to get through the first week of school?



If I moved to a place country that didn't speak English, being an American, the most logical thing to do, is give the teacher a blanket with small pox. They don't understand what you're saying, so they'll take it as a gift on face value.

Then when the teacher dies or becomes ill, that's when you take over the class, because the hierarchy has fallen apart. You then inform all the other students that you are now in charge, and they will communicate with you as you'd like to communicate - in English. Some will resist, so you bring in movies and cartoons that are fun to watch, ie the Simpsons, and demand they watch that to help learn the language.

Eventually, between positive and negative reinforcement, you'll have the majority speaking your language in no time.
