Why Theater Class is Important

I think more schools should have theater classes. Theater class is cool and it helps students learn. One reason is that reading theater scripts is good reading practice. Theater is also beneficial because it improves memory. Theater even helps kids speak in front of a group.  In theater, you present an act to a group of people. That’s what theater is all about.

Reading theater scripts is good reading practice.  Students need a lot of practice with their reading, and theater class requires them to read a lot of different scripts.  There is even more reading practice in a theater class because you have to read the same script many times.  You also get to read plays that students usually don’t read on their own.  Also, theater teaches students to read with emotion, which most schools don’t focus on. 

Theater helps improve your memory because you have to memorize lines.  Most theater classes require you to read the scripts over and over until you memorize your scripts perfectly.  Students have to memorize many different plays and that gives them a lot of practice all year long.  A theater class also improves your memory and attention because you have to know when it is your turn to speak.        

In theater you usually act and talk in front of a group.  The most common fear is public speaking, and theater prepares children early to learn to talk in front of others and not be scared.  In college you have to show presentations to the whole class.  Theater helps you learn to give good presentations by teaching you how to talk in front of people in an interesting way. 

Theater is important for so many reasons, and students who do not have access to theater classes will be at a disadvantage later in life. Schools should definitely make room for theater classes!

Mississippi - It is Time for a New Flag!

I think Mississippi should change its state flag. The Confederate flag symbol should be removed because it shows support for slavery and racism. The Rebel flag should not be celebrated because it shows pride in a time when human beings were mistreated. As long as Mississippi flies its current state flag, other states will think the people of Mississippi dislike African-Americans. It is time for a new flag in the state of Mississippi.

Dream Vacation

If I could visit another place, I would visit Hawaii. For one thing, Hawaii is made out of volcanoes. It would be the perfect place to get a picture of lava. Also, in winter the temperature is seventy degrees. That is cool and nice. Even better, it is beautiful! The animals open up your eyes, and the plants are spectacular. I would love to try all the yummy foods and drinks. I love to try new things. It's like an adventure! Hawaii would be a great adventure, but I will have to save a little first.

Made of Stars

There are lots of stars in the universe. When they explode, it’s a supernova. When a star uses up all its fuel, it caves in and it reacts with the iron core. That makes a shock wave and the star explodes. The gasses and dust from the explosion make a nebula. Nebulae are where new stars and even planets are formed. Our solar system was formed in a nebula a long time ago. So we are made of stars, and that’s something to think about. 

Why It Is Better To Save Money

Do you save money? It's good to do. You can get very cool things if you save money. What if there was a one dollar toy, and a twenty dollar toy? You could save money, and get a twenty dollar toy. If you leave money in a bank, you get more money by interest. If you have one hundred dollars, and you put it in a bank that gives you four percent interest each year, after a year, you have a hundred and four dollars. If you have an emergency and you have no money, what do you do? You will  be out of luck.  If you save money, you will be ready. Save money!
