1) THE LABORATORY

    

Mia's father had laboratory, but she had no idea what was in it. Her dad always closed and locked the door when he went in. She knew that he used it to do projects for work. He never told Mia what

these projects were.

      One night, Mia approached  the door to the laboratory. She stopped and thought,"I wonder what crazy experiment he is doing now."Suddenly, she heard a loud noise. It sounded like an evil laugh. The noise scared her so she walked quickly back to her room. 

     The next night, her friend Liz came to her house. When Liz arrived, Mia told her about the night before. "Oh, it was terrible," She said.

     "Why don't we see what is in there?"Liz asked." It will be a fun adventure!" Mia felt nervous about going into her father's laboratory, but she agreed. As always the door was locked they waited until Mia's father left the Laboratory to eat dinner! "He did not lock the door!"Liz said."Let's go." 

        The laboratory was dark. the girls walked down the stairs carefully. Mia smelled strange chemicals. What terrible thing was her father creating?

   Suddenly, they heard an evil laugh. It was even worst than the one Mia heard the night before. What if a monster was going to kill them? Mia had to do something. She shouted for help.

     Mia's father ran into the room and turned on the lights. "oh, no," he said."You must have learned my secret."

    "Your monster tried to kill us," Mia said.

   "Monster?" he asked. "You mean this?" He had a pretty doll in his hands. The doll laughed.The laugh didn't sound so evil anymore." I made this for your birthday. I wanted to give it to you then, but you can have it now.I hope you like it!"

2)THE REPORT

Lee sat among the books at the library and thought about his group project. They had to turn it in soon, but he had not even started his part! Jack and Claire were in his group. They had worked hard. They were also very smart and Lee did not want them to get a bad grade.

    Jack did the report. He wrote a lot of very good sentences and described things with great adjectives. Claire drew a nice map of the stars. Now, Lee needed to do his part of the project.

      "Well, I suppose I need to start my model," Lee thought.

     Making the model of a planet was really hard. Lee tried to read several books, but he did not comprehend any of the charts."We are going to fail because of me!"Lee said. He put his head down on the table and said, "I wish I could see a planet, instead of having to read about it!"

    Suddenly, there was a bright light. Lee was pulled from his chair, through the roof, and right into a strange ship! "Hello Kid," said an alien."Did you ask for help?"

   Lee told the friendly alien all about his project. The alien agreed to help Lee solve his problem."First, We will fly through space to view the universe. Then, I can help you make a model of my planet."  

        Soon, they were going through the clouds. They passed the moon. Then they viewed mars. Lee was very excited. Instead of a bad grade, his group would have best project ever! 

        "It is time to go home," the alien finally said. On the way back, he helped Lee make a model of the planet Mars. Soon, they were on Earth.

       "Thanks,"Lee said. My model will be awesome!"then he took his model and said goodbye to his friend.

      When the Report was presented in front of the audience, it was appreciated a lot. The whole auditorium was filled with the applauses.
