Drums are better than Guitars.

In my opinion this is why I think drums are better than guitars.

I believe that drums are much better than guitars because drums are what keeps a band in time. There are lots of types of drum sticks

Guitars only make one noise in different chords, but drums make lots of different sounds! You have to plug an electric guitar into an amp to make it work.  Drums can’t hurt your fingers, but guitars make your fingers blister and hurt!

There is more pieces to a drum kit then you think, there is a cymbal with holes in it. There is a cymbal on a cymbal, a ton of different crashes and rides, a small tom and a lot more!

So that is why I believe Drums are better than guitars.

Pets should be allowed in school.

I strongly believe that pets should be allowed in school.

You can stroke your Cat to make you feel happy.

You can also cuddle your dog to make you feel happy.

To entertain the class you can teach your cat or dog to dance or

you can also teach your kitten to piggyback on your cat.

And your dog could play soccer.

For a treat for the dog, it can do parkour and at the end there will be a treat!

Another point is you can get your dog to get your pencil.

Another reason is birds can put a piece of paper in the rubbish.

Dogs can pull the chain to the blind to open the blind, and for the teacher, the teacher's dog can sniff out lollies in students pockets!

So that is why I think pets should be allowed in school.

Skimming reading strategy

WALT skim an unknown text so that we can quickly get an understanding of it.
I can decide if a book has useful information I need, or whether I want to read it for pleasure.
You can look at the cover, blurb, chapters, pictures and index.
