__Rock Your Rock Dance__ One day there was a beautiful metamorphic rock named Bella. She was very lonely and needed someone to take her to the “Rock your Rock” dance tomorrow night. She only dated metamorphic rocks and the were very few of them in East Rockaway. There were two brothers, one was named Carlos who was an igneous rock and the other was a sedimentary rock named Sean. They both heard about the dance and they needed someone to accompany them. Sean went to CVS, he picked up a can of heat and pressure. He went home, opened the can and before he knew it he was a dreamy metamorphic rock. Carlos went to King Kullen to pick up dinner, but instead he bought a packet of heat and pressure as well. He went into the bathroom and was a handsome metamorphic rock. Unfortunately, Sean beat him to Bella and Sean got to go to the dance with her. Carlos dove in to his magma jacuzzi and started to cool and formed back into an igneous rock. On the brightside for Carlos, he met a sedimentary rock named Meagan. They had two sedimentary rocks, Sam and Johnny. After the dance, Sean and Bella got married and they all lived happily ever after.

The Rock Cycle Story

This is Molly the metamorphic rock here. I have gone through a lot to become a metamorphic rock. Do you what to know what I have gone through? All right, so here is the rock cycle story. It all started one day when I was Erin the igneous rock. ( I like to change my name when I change form. ) So there I was, sitting on the beach near the ocean. All of a sudden, the tide starts to move in closer and closer until it was right at the edge of me. Then I started to weather away, until I was almost nothing. I had broken down into tiny pieces of practically dust called sediments. I really didn’t want to change my name after that, so I stayed Erin the sediment pieces. Over a ling period of time, my little pieces of sediment started to stick together. That is when I became Sally the sedimentary rock. It made me so happy that I looked all over for another rock to celebrate with. Actually, I ended up finding no one. Now, I would be a sedimentary rock from now on, or so I thought. One day, I saw fresh, hot, magma bubbling up to the surface. I could see it was hot because it was destroying everything in its path. It wasn’t long before the magma reached me and turned me into magma as well. When I was magma, I tried to look for loopholes and tried to escape this state of magma. Then, one day, I found myself being pushed against something. Lastly, I became Molly the metamorphic rock. Well, this is the story about what I have gone through. I hope you all enjoyed it because I didn’t enjoy going through it. Now, I hope I don’t go through any more changes for a long time. By: Krista Manos

__Story Of A Rock__

Hi! I am Sam the rock. I am one of many sedimentary rocks. I am going to tell you some of the changes that go on in my life. It’s called a rock cycle. So here is my story. I was at school making a speech and I felt really nervous. I was under pressure and felt really warm. I did not feel myself. In fact, I wasn’t myself!!! I had turned into a metamorphic rock. The school nurse sent me home after I nearly fainted. Although I didn’t look like myself, I was kind of cute and I liked that! A thousand years later, I felt really warm and I felt like I was melting. Actually, I was melting! I had turned into magma and I looked horrible. I thought nothing a little makeup can’t fix but it melted off my face. Then, after that, change happened. Believe it or not, I had another change! I was lying on the floor because I burnt my bed. I felt really cold. I didn’t feel like I had a 1000-degree fever anymore. I was a hard igneous rock. After that, at school, I was being treated like I was dirt on the ground. Well I kind of was! I had turned into sediments. After I recovered from that shock, I felt like someone was constantly pushing me. Guess what??? I was back to a sedimentary rock!

THE END!

The Changing Problem Once there lived two rocks Matthew Metamorphic, and Isabella Igneous. They were in love. One day, Matthew proposed to Isabella. She agreed. They became engaged and spent the days before the wedding and Rock Reception feeling blissful, dreamy, and a little nervous. On the day of their wedding, early in the morning, a bugle was sounded and everyone rushed outside, because that meant only one thing- a new law! The new law was that two people could only be married if they were of the same type of rock. Alas! This meant that Matthew and Isabella could not be married. The two were astonished, and extremely sorrowful. All the money spent to prepare for the big day was now gone, and they could never be married. They did everything they could think of to get by or change the law. Here are only three of the many, many things they did. They changed their names, spray- painted themselves, went to rock court, and even went to Monsieur Magma the king. None of these ideas worked out. It took months of thinking crying and crossing fingers before…“I’VE GOT IT! I’VE GOT IT,” shouted Isabella. “Matthew, oh Matthew my dear.” Indeed she had it, or so she thought. “All we have to do is to go to Sara Sedimentary and …” “You mean Old Sara Sedimentary?” interrupted Matthew. “The meanest and stingiest rock there is.” She is not that bad argued Isabella. “Anyway, do you want to be married or not?” “I do, but I’m certainly not going.” Isabella agreed reluctantly and thought to herself that Matthew could be as stubborn as a donkey. By the time she reached the two golden statues of lions which marked Sarah’s large dark house, she was shaking in her new pumps and her heart was pounding so loud it seemed to be next to her ear drum. Sarah was in a very good mood, but unfortunately was nearly deaf and thought Isabella had requested to change her into a sedimentary rock. So Isabella became Samantha Sedimentary. She was back to where she had started and did not have enough money for another round. She trudge sadly back home, and told the news to Matthew. One day Matthew was watching Rock Witness News, when Bill Ritter and Liz Cho announced that Sedimentary Rock could be changed into Metamorphic Rock by heat and pressure. Matthew took Samantha to Florida, and to his great delight, because of heat and pressure she turned into Maria Metamorphic. Together they lived happily ever after. This story shows that the rock cycle can change and has no beginning and no end. It includes four of the five stages in the rock cycle. By: Rachel Nation Meagan Petersen 11/27/07 Story 6-8
 * __The Rock Cycle__**

One morning Sally Sedimentary Rock was taking a stroll in the near by park. She had recently thought about getting a makeover. Her cousin, Serina Sediments happened to work at a pharmacy so she bought some makeup and a package of weathering and erosion from the Quick Pick next door. The next morning she tried it out. It had worked; Sally became sediment just like Serina. Everyone in East Rockaway loved Sally’s new makeover. Serina and Sally were happy little rocks but their friends Millie Metamorphic Rock and her cousin Lola Igneous Rock had the same problem, they wanted a change. They both new they could turn into each other by buying a pack of heat and pressure but that would not make them stand out. They also could become sediments by buying a box of weathering and erosion. Everyone in Rocky County knew that. Millie and Lola asked Sally and Serina what to do. They told her she had to buy one box of weathering and erosion and a bag of compaction and cementation. They quickly sprinted to the Quick Pick and bought the materials they needed. First they used the box of weathering and erosion and turned into sediments. After becoming sediment the girls would have to use the bag of compaction and cementation to become Sedimentary rock. They finished the process and were so happy everyone loved the girl’s makeovers and they asked how they did it and they told them the new process, The Rock Cycle. Sally, Serina, Millie and Lola all went out for some Rocky Road ice cream. Serina invited everyone over to jump into her new volcano hot tub made of magma. They all melted and when they cooled they became Igneous Rock and the cycle began again.

The Rock That Could Not Stay The Same

Once upon a time there was a metamorphic rock named Reggie. Reggie lived with a bunch of other rocks on the very top of Mount Saint Helens. Reggie liked it there and would definitely rather live next to a hot volcano than in a freezing cold igloo with an Eskimo. Whenever magma or lava erupted from the volcano Reggie would hurry and find his best friend, Lola, to snuggle with. He would call out “Lola! I need you, where are you? The volcano is starting to erupt and I don’t want to die alone!” They were always extremely scared and yelled “Oh my gosh! We’re all going to die! Everyone run for your lives!” That was just a little inside joke they had together. One hot, summer day Reggie was at the top of the volcano, all alone just thinking about what a beautiful day it was. All of a sudden the volcano started to shake. Reggie was terrified and he could not find Lola anywhere. Then, the lava started pouring out of the volcano. Reggie tried to roll down the hilly volcano to get away, but he wasn’t fast enough. He knew he was done for. After a few hours of sleep, Reggie woke up in a strange place. He was lying on some dirt, far away from his home. Reggie was scared and did not know what to do. When he looked at his hands he noticed they were all liquid and orange. After a few minutes of thinking, he finally knew what had happened to him. He melted from metamorphic rock and turned into magma. Reggie was relieved he knew what happened to him. Then, he thought, “Oh know! Will I ever see Lola again?” Reggie was terrified. One day Reggie was gazing at the clouds and suddenly he heard a voice call his name. “Reggie! Are you there? I miss you and I’m scared.” Reggie thought for a second “Who could that be?” Then, he said to himself, “No, it couldn’t be, could it?” But Reggie was right! It was Lola! Lola and Reggie were so excited to see each other and promised to stay by each other’s side for as long as they lived. After thousands of years of happiness, Lola and Reggie started to cool off. They were no longer orange and they were no longer hot. They actually felt kind of cold. They realized they have cooled and formed into igneous rock. Reggie thought his body was a beautiful color! He was black and had some pink. Everyday he would roll over to the pond and just stare at himself. One day when Reggie was coming back from the pond, he noticed a bird fly away from his home. Lola was not at home when he got back. “The bird must have taken Lola”, he thought. Reggie spent thousands of years searching for Lola. One Friday afternoon, Reggie got tired and decided to lie down for a while. After about twenty minutes of rest, the wind started to pick up. He suddenly fell asleep. When he woke up he felt kind of smaller. He noticed he had weathered and eroded and became one tiny piece of sediment. Reggie was happy to be safe, but he was sad he was no longer an igneous rock. He made lots of new friends as sediment because he had so many other sediments around him. Reggie and his new best friend Sam, always talked about their life and what it was liked to be other kinds of rocks and which rock they liked best. On Reggie’s 8,000th birthday he noticed Sam was not there to celebrate it with him. He looked all over for Sam but could not find him. Finally he noticed some kind of tan colored rock in the middle of the soil. It was Sam! Sam had told him that he had compacted and cemented together and formed into a sedimentary rock. Reggie was so relieved that he hadn’t lost Sam like he had lost Lola. A few months later the same thing happened to Reggie. Reggie was happy to look like Sam again. Exactly 3,000 years later Reggie and Sam started burning up and started to get cramps. They thought they might have a fever. But than they noticed they started to change shape and size. Reggie realized by heat and pressure he was turning into a metamorphic rock again. Reggie was so happy to look the same as he looked when he first entered the Earth. Reggie and Sam were thrilled that they were together and they looked like what they liked to be most. Reggie and Sam lived happily ever after! The End!

The Rock Cycle Story

Hi, my name is Meta. I am a metamorphic rock. I am going to tell you something that happened one day. I went through a process called rock cycle. So here it is One day when I was walking or rolling around (whatever you want to call it), it hit me. It was like BAM!!! The heat got to me and I was feeling pressure and started to melt. Then I turned into magma. So when I turned into magma I started to move around. And after a couple of days I was at a really cold place but I didn’t no were. Then it started to get harder to move around. And before I knew what was going on I was already a igneous rock. I went through what we call cooling. So when magma cools it turns into a igneous rock. When an igneous rock goes through melting it turns back into magma. But anyway. So then I was on my way to go hang out with my friends, Sed and Quartz. And I went through something called weathering and erosion and turn into sediments. But also an igneous rock can go through heat and pressure and turn back to a metamorphic rock. So back to the story. When I turned into sediments I couldn’t hang out with my friends anymore because sediments are like tiny pebbles and dirt. So now scene I couldn’t hang out I was on my way home and then….. I went through compaction and cementation and turned into a sedimentary rock. A sedimentary rock can also go through weathering and erosion and turn back into sediments or go through melting and turn into magma. So now I was getting a little angry from all this changing. And now I was walking or rolling a little faster, then I turn back into a metamorphic rock. Now I was really angry and I rolled home as fast as I can. When I got home I told her about my whole day. Then she stated to laugh at me. And she said I was going through a process called rock cycle. She told me all about going through the rock cycle. She also tells me that the rock cycle never stats and never ends. I was relived when she told me because I thought I was going crazy. And that’s my story. This mite sound silly because you are learning about this in school but if you ask a rock that does not no yet and you had a day like mine, you mite think your going crazy, too. By taylor

Lisa Goldschmidt November 27, 2007 Science 6-8 Ian was writing. Dear Journal, Still no luck! I am 105 years old and for the past 5 days I have been magma. I mean, all my friends are igneous rock, nice, cold, black rock. Okay let me get back to the point. I mean I know I am the youngest of all my friends, but come on my little brother Anthony is cooling. I mean by this rate he will be igneous before I will. My dad says I’m just “special”. I want to be big, I want to be smooth, I want to be…Rock! Thanks for listening. Bye. Ian Then Ian locked up his cool blue journal and thought, it’s as cool as rock. After that he put it under his bed. Then he thought to himself…I could go out to the store and buy Liquid Dry, he snickered, I’ll be drier then the Sahara desert by tonight. I’ll be igneous rock and nobody will know what happened. They’ll all be wondering. Then Ian went out and got his bike. He then remembered that he got a motor put in to make his bike sound like a motor cycle. He thought I’ll have all the girls and I’ll be igneous what can go wrong. After he bought Liquid Dry at Walmart, he met this beautiful girl. He thought it was love at first sight then he went home. When he got home he immediately noticed that he had spots on him, he said, “these are igneous spots, I’m igneous rock!” He hadn’t put on the Quick Dry, when he read the back of the bottle it said the side effects would be headaches and drowsiness. He thought, “I am not going to risk all these side effects, I’m going to ask out that girl.” He found out that the girl’s name was Mel. Mel was metamorphic rock. Mel was 104 years old and she looked like she was melting. Ian wrote in his journal the next day. Dear Journal, I met this girl I like. Her name is Mel. I don’t need the Quick Dry I am now igneous. There is a dance tomorrow and I am going to ask her to go with me. Ian Ian asked Mel and she said yes. Ian ran home and Mel was magma. By tomorrow Mel would also be igneous. The next day was the day of the //Rocks, Rock Dance//. Everybody who is anybody was there! Ian thought, I hope Mel likes me. Meanwhile, Mel thought I hope Ian likes what I am wearing. The school year went on and then they went through high school and graduated. Same with college. The rest of their lives went on. Actually, Ian and Mel got married, they had twin girls named Isabella and Irene. The girls were both magma waiting to be igneous rock. Then Ian said, “girls you know you have to wait when you are changing… believe me it is worth waiting for”, who was now sedimentary rock. The girls said, “change, change, change”!

Lola By:Paige Salmon Once upon a time there was a metamorphic rock. Her name was Lola. Lola went everywhere with little kids. She went up noses, in pools, into dog mouths, and in some stomachs. One unusual day a kid threw her into a volcano. She yelled “I’m melting, I’m melting” but no one could hear her, because she was a rock. Over hundreds and thousands of years she was cooled and became an igneous rock. She had come to realization that an igneous rock was better than being a metamorphic rock. But when she began to cool she noticed something, she was all different colors. She was a beautiful black, silver, pink and a little salmon color also. She thought she looked odd. Then she realized that the volcano was going to erupt again, and she did not want to go through the process again so she rolled down the mountain. She rolled for a long time; she really wanted to find her friends. She looked around and never found Reggie, Jeffery, or Billy. One day the wind really started to blow and Lola began to roll around in pieces of rock started to come off of her. She was getting smaller and smaller and finally she was sediments. She was so upset everyday she just laid there getting stepped on and ran over by cars. She was so upset. One day she finally turned into sand and was washed away into the sea. She did not enjoy being at sea up and down and up and down everyday. One day she looked up and there was her friend Reggie. He said hold on I will help you. Reggie helped her work her way out and now she was just sitting on the beach again. One day the wind picked up again and Lola was compacted and cemented. She now had become a sedimentary rock. From there she became a metamorphic rock once again. After all she had been through she has decided that she was the only kind of rock she ever wanted to be. She lived happily ever after with all the children, and animals, and she liked being in peoples stomach sometimes…
