Hey guys,
I had several recommendations of writing pieces to post on the blog from our activity today. So many good ones to choose from. Considering it would take me forever to type them all out, I've decided to select just a few of the recommended writings. Great job by everyone on this assignment though.
The class was asked to write a journal or diary entry through the perspective of a rational number.

Dear Journal,
It's me again, 6. I've had a horrible day today. :( You know my BFF, 9? Well he was subtracted from our equation this morning. He and 7 got into a fight. "Let's all just be rational number here!" 9 tried to tell her. But then, guess what happened?! 7,8,9!!!! I felt so helpless seeing my friend being all gobbled up like that. I'm so terrified of 7 now, but i still have to stand by him at school in the number line. AHHH!!!!

Dear Diary,
Something weird is happening at school! These "negatives" moved in , and my BFF's (and not so BFFs) are shrinking! My friend, 16 shrunk when she was added to negative 8! Now, instead of 16, she's only 8. I'm 14, and I love being 14, so I hope I never EVER meet a negative. Well, they may not be so bad.... 21 got bigger when he met -18! Now, he's 39. He said something about subtracting negatives, and hey, I just might give it a try!

Well, today is the day I'm going to get subtracted. I admit I'm a little nervous. I mean I've been added, multiplied, and even divided by, but never subtracted. Some of the guys have been subtracted. They say it doesn't hurt. While I'm wondering HOW!? They are taking something away from you!! Right now I'm so nervous I wish I was born a zero, I'd already be nothing, but be worth more in the long run. Oh no it's time. Here it comes..... Hey, that didn't hurt. Oh well.
