-------- -----A Real Life Batman Name Date
Daniel Kish has been completely blind since he was a toddler yet he can hike play basketball and even ride a bicycle Just like a bat Kish uses echolocation to navigate his environment As he moves Kish makes a clicking noise with his tongue The noise bounces off the objects around him and he uses his ears to see them in his mind
The clicking makes it much easier for Kish to get around and live independently but the method does have limitations He still cant see colors and while a bat can detect an object as small as a gnat Kish says something needs to be at least as big as a softball for him to know it is there Its like seeing with dim flashes of light Kish says
Kish believes that any blind person can learn to echolocate although it is easier for children He has founded a nonprofit organization called World Access for the Blind to teach children to echolocate 11It isnt that difficult to teach It really isnt Kish says 11I believe that the brain is already partly wired to do this Kish believes that echolocation is a life-changing skill and that every blind person should have the opportunity to learn it He says that not allowing it would be very shortsighted

First off insects are really good for you They are packed with protein By weight crickets and termites have more protein than beef
Second raising insects cost less and is better for the earth than raising cows and other livestock Insects take up much less space and need much less food and water than cows Also you can eat more parts of an insect than other animals Insects also reach their adult size quickly It does not take much time to raise insects to eat
Third insects taste good Many types of insects taste a little nutty Some kinds of bugs taste like bacon while others may taste like fish or even fruit Some insects such as meal worms dongtt have much of a taste at all They pick up the flavors of whatever they are cooked with So what are you waiting for Why not try a beetle today

Why I am Afraid of Balloons Name Date
Some people are scared of spiders or snakes or high places But me Im afraid of balloons I am not the only person who is afraid of them I read about it on the internet Its called globophobia
It started when I was little My mom gave me a balloon to play with I was so little I didnt know what it was It was bright red I thought it might be good to eat like cotton candy It popped when I tried to take a bite After that I wanted nothing to do with balloons
Its not usually a problem But sometimes its embarrassing Last week I went to my friend Lilas 10th birthday party Of course there were balloons I was so nervous I covered my ears whenever I thought one might pop I pretended I had to go to the bathroom so I could leave the room The other girls probably thought I was bananas but I just couldnt help it
Maybe when I grow up I will invent a kind of balloon that does not make noise when it pops Then I will have balloons at my parties too

People often confuse alligators crocodiles Alligators and crocodiles are both reptiles They both live in the water and they both have sharp teeth
Crocodiles live in salt water They have special glands on their tongues to get rid of the extra salt Alligators don1t have these glands so they live in fresh water
Alligators have wide U-shaped snouts A crocodile1s snout is longer and more pointed like a V Also crocodiles have teeth on their lower jaws that stick out You can see them even when the crocodile1s mouth is closed Alligators do not have any teeth that stick out

She gritted her teeth and took a breath as she crouched at the line
She paused the sound of her own heart beating beating beating

She would finally feel the heavy weight lifted from her heart and draped around her neck instead Joy would fill places where before only worry lived This time victory was hers
