My favorite article was “The Rise of the Jellyfish”. This is my favorite article because it shows how much jellyfish there are. It says “there are more than 2,000 different species of jellyfish, and they all come in different sizes. Also, the reaches name is Lucas Brotz he is a Jellyfish Reacher he came from the University of British Columbia in Canada. Jellyfish are sometimes dangerous. It says “During two weeks in June, jellyfish stung about 2,000 people in Dayton Beach, Florida. In a single weekend last month, more than 700 swimmers were treated for stings at beaches near Charleston, South Carolina.” Scientists are now thinking that humans maybe partly responsible for the recent rise in Jellyfish. Lastly, they also believe that are human fossils are being used as fossil fuel and it may be helping Jellyfish multiply.

My favorite article was "The Rise of the Jellyfish" this is my favorite because it shows how much Jellyfish there are. It says"there are more than 2,000 different kinds of jellyfish" I think it is crazy that they have stung more than 2,000 people in 2 weeks in June. Also, I think many jellyfish are color full and cool.Lastly, I hope I never get stung so bad i have to go to the hospital.

My favorite article is the Rise of the jellyfish I did not now that there are more than 2,000 jellyfish and I only though that there are only one type of jellyfish and if they are dead the stinger part can still sting you and I am not going near a jellyfish on the beach if I go I’m not going near A jellyfish on the beach and if I go in the ocean I am staying A way from any jellyfish I see in the oceans I see jellyfish.

Out of all 5 of these articles, my favorite was probably “The Rise Of The Jellyfish.”This is my favorite article because it gives us lot of information about Jellyfish.Personally, my favorite fact is “You can find them ranging from smaller than your pinky finger to almost as big as a car.” WOW! I am Glad that I live in Illinois and not by the Pacific or Atlantic Oceans.

My favorite article of this passage is “The Rise of the Jellyfish”. This article is filled top to bottom of information about one topic: jellyfish. Some main facts they included in the article are quite interesting, such as when the article speaks, “Jellyfish don’t have a brain, blood, or hearts either.” In my opinion I find that quite alien like, the article speaks about the conspiracy theory of jellyfish being aliens too. Jellyfish come in different sizes, it amazes me on how they can be as small as a pinky to as big as a car! I myself love to swim, I’ve even considered on joining a swimming team, one day I wish to see a jellyfish and learn all of their characteristics. I’ve recently learned that jellyfish come in 2000 species, I wish I could see all the various types!

My favorite article was “Growing up with Harry Potter”. This was my favorite article because it was the one I could relate to the most. Even though I didn't grow up with it when it was new i am still going to read it as I grow up. It is my favorite series of book and the author of the articles too. I know this because it says “ ...I wasn’t alone...best selling series” That is why “Growing up with Harry Potter” was my favorite article.

My favorite article is "Remembering maria". This is my favorite article because it has details from a 9 year old's eyes. I also like it because I am curious what it would be like to have a hurricane on an island. I am suprised that some people didn't have electricity for 3 months. I also find it interesting that schools didn't have electricity until mid January. A resident living there said that "I had experienced hurricanes before but this was the worst one by far. I find that Suprising because she has been through more than one hurricane.

My favoriate article is "The Rise of the Jellyfish".I picked this article because it has a lot of information and thats what you need. Another reason I picked this article was because jellyfish could get really big like the size of a car thats a big size if you ask me. In this article it also says "Their umbrella-shaped bodies is more than 95 percent water. Thats a lot of water if you ask me. I loved this article its very informational and an incredible amount of information about jellyfish. I apsolutily love the beach but it would not be very fun to be swimming and get stung because. I bet it hurts. Thats my thoughts about the article The rise of the jellyfish.

My favorite article is " Remembering Maria" because it tells us what Maria really did in Puerto Rico like it say " The storm also damaged pipes and sewage systems across the island, which left many people without clean water.' . That means that they had to go days without clean water and they also walk in it too ( gross). I feel really bad for them because, they are still fixing their homes today it even says in the article " Maria left much of the island in ruins. A year later, many Puerto Ricans are still trying to rebuild their lives." I hope they rebuild their lives soon.

My favorite article is “The Rise of the Jellyfish”. This article is really cool. I have always wanted to go to the beach and see jellyfish. I actually have not been i've really only been to Denver in the mountains. It says “ There are more than 2,000 different species of jellyfish, and they come in many sizes.”. I think it is amazing to think that these creatures could kill us even though, mean it's not the best this but still the look innocent.

My favorite article in the “Scholastic Magazine” is “Rise of the Jellyfish.” This is my favorite article because I think it’s really interesting because it is crazy how much people get stung in a week. It is really cool that jellyfish can be as small as your pinky finger and as big as a car. In the text it says, “They’re invertebrates which means they don’t have backbones.” This is what I think is interesting about this article. I think this is interesting because it shows you a lot of information about jellyfish. That is why “Rise of the Jellyfish is my favorite article from the “Scholastic magazine.”

My favorite Article is “Should You Keep Money You Find?’’ because like other people’s opinions about things. I like other people’s opinions because I like to see what other people think. First, I think that you shouldn’t keep money you find on the ground because it might belong to someone that don’t have a lot of money and they might come back to get the money and then come back and its gone, or if you keep it give it to someone who really needs it the money. That is why my favorite article is “Should You Keep Money You Find?”

My favorite article is “Rise of the Jellyfish” because Jellyfish are so fascinating. They can still sting you when they are dead even when they are in the water. In this part of the article it says “During two weeks in June, jellyfish stung about 2,000 people in Daytona Beach, Florida.” They don’t have a back bone or blood cells so it think it is cool because I have a back bone and they don’t. Another opinion I have is their body is mainly water and to move they have to have a current and but when I walk I have legs.

My favorite article was about finding money because it tells you about what you can do if you would find something like money on the ground personally I would take it because you don't know who's it really was.
