ing them. So in my

opinion we should

get the e reader at

our school. I think

we should get

them because it is

a new technology.

How would

you feel if your

school got rid of

every book in the

library. Now you

can fit 1,500

books in your

backpack with an e

reader. The e

reader can hold up

to 1,500 books on

it. It uses no elec-

tricity so it is

charges like an I

Pod.

All you have

to do is download

books for $10 or

less. You can

download as many

books as you want

to up to 1,500.

You can go to

Amazon on the e

reader and

download books.

This is the

cool thing some

people want and

some don‟t. The e

reader is small,

weighs less than a

pound and it is

easy to store. It is

only about 10in

long.

It‟s the

thing schools have

already started us-

8 or 9 planets

Pluto is an icy dwarf planet that was

discovered on February 18, 1930.It meets

2 out of three requirements to be a planet.

The first requirement is it must orbit the

Sun .The second requirement is it must be

nearly round. The third requirement is it

can‟t cross another planets orbit .

Pluto seems to be similar to the

objects in the Kuiper Belt. Scientists that

study Pluto think it came from the Kuiper

belt. An object in the Kuiper Belt nicked

named Xena is larger than

Pluto.

Earth's moon is lar-

ger the Pluto. Earth and all

the other planets are larger

than Pluto .Lets talk to An-

drew to see what he thinks

about Pluto being a planet

or not. He thinks Pluto

should be a planet because

they„ve called it a planet

since the 1930‟s. He thinks they

should keep Pluto a planet. The girl

who named Pluto is British and she

named it after a Roman god of the

under world.

I think Pluto should not be a

planet because it is not similar to

the other planets.

a cool sport in my opin-

but a fun sport because

It takes about

45 minutes to cross the

very trying sport it is

also very hard.
