I love to watch birds!  It always amazes me 
  how they can build those nests!  I like to leave 
  scraps of hair and yarn out for them to find. 
  They'll use these things and weave them into a 
  nest.  Being a parent is a hard job, and the birds 
  can use all the help they can get.
What is the author's perspective?

• Humans should help birds build their nest
• Humans should never interfere with wild animals
• Birds are interesting animals
• Birds use lots of things to build their nest

I wonder who invented putting water into plastic bottles? Water bottles are disposable which means that they can be thrown away. Landfills are overflowing with garbage because people are too lazy to fill a reusable cup with water. Recycling has been set up, but many people do not recycle all of the water bottles that they use. The earth is being polluted with all the used water bottles.

What is the author's perspective?

• People should not drink out of water bottles beacuse they are disposable.

• People should drink out of water bottles becuase disposable things are good.

• People should never drink water.

What is this author's point of view...I think all students should go to school year round (all year). As an educator, I see many students lose knowledge they have gained from the previous year over the summer. I also see that many students have a hard time getting back into a school routine when it begins again in the fall. I feel school should continue year round with more short breaks (vacation) for students in between.

• school should be held year round (all year)

• the school year should be shorter

• kids should have a longer summer break

• students should have to come to school on the weekends

What is this author's point of view... Are the world's oceans polluted (contaminated)? This is a question many experts have asked. There are signs of pollution in our oceans, such as a large floating body (mass) of plastic and garbage in the Pacific Ocean. There have also been oil (petroleum) spills around the world that have caused harm. However, I don't feel like these issues (problems) have hurt the oceans to the point of worry. Animals and fish are still surviving, and when I go to the beach I don't find myself swimming in plastic.

• the world's oceans are only half-way polluted

• the ocean's creatures are dying because of pollution

• the oceans are just fine, Pollution is not a big problem yet.

• the oceans need to be saved immediately
