Blackbeard


Blackbeard was a captain of a ship. Blackbeard was a famous pirate that killed many people. Blackbeard died from a British that came from Virginia. Since Blackbeard was an evil person who killed many people, I would try to escape from if I ever met him. I am glad Blackbeard is not around anymore to terrorize people.

Barack Obama


Our topic is Barack Obama. He is our president. He was born in Hawaii on August 4, 1961. He is 49 old right now. He wanted to become president so he could change the world. Another reason he wanted to become president is because his father died and he wanted his name to live on. One day I hope to go to the White House and meet him in person. Sources:

Lions


Lions are part of the cat family. The word lion comes from the word Leo. Lions have from 2 to 6 cubs at one at a time. The difference between a zoo Lion and a wild Lion is that a zoo Lion is trained and a wild Lion is not trained and they can attack people. I wonder what having a lion would be like.

Dolpins


Dolphins are very intelligent marine animals. Orcas and whales are similar to dolphins because they both live in the sea and are mammals. When dolphins give birth, the tail of the infant comes out first. When she /he is out the mother dolphin pushes the newborn to the surface of the ocean for the infant’s first breath of air. It is better for a dolphin to live in the ocean because they could die of germs in captivity. Dolphins are endangered because people kill them for meat. We must save these marvelous marine creatures from going extinct.
