ReplyDeleteI read "Smarter Than You Think" By Natalie Smith. The whole purpose of the article was to show that animals can be more intelligent than you might think. Here is an example: A few years ago near Australia people saw some bottle nose dolphins using shells they held in there beak to catch fish. Then they carried the shells to the surface. Once there, they shook the fish out of the shell and into their mouths.
ReplyDeleteI read "Waiting For a Change" by Josh Sanburn for TIME it was about how making pennys costs more than penny is worth i think they should just limit the penny supply that they make every year and/or use different material to make the pennys
ReplyDeleteI read Waiting For Change by: Josh Sandburn
ReplyDeleteThe article was about how the government thinks there should no longer be pennies because they cost 2¢. But the problem is that if we got rid of pennies then we would lose more money because nickels cost 10¢ to produce. i agree with Obama he said that we should make pennies out of something like steel.
The article I read was "Waiting For Change"By Josh Sanburn.
ReplyDeleteThe question that people are debating is weather or not to keep the penny. The reason that we are even considering to get rid of the penny is because now days the penny costs 2 cents to make a 1 cent coin! So now my opinion is that we should get rid of the penny and like they suggested in the article, change to Canada's currency. Which today is better than the United States.
