Melissa's essay about dinosaur tracks in the desert
*In class we read an article about dinosaur tracks that were found clustered together in the Arizona desert. The article was called The Dinosaur Dance Floor. The students discussed why the dinosaurs might all have been in one small area together, and thought of good reasons why scientists should study those tracks.
My name is Melissa. I live in a small town in Alaska. We don’t have a desert in Alaska. We have rivers. Some times we see animal tracks in river mud. I think scientists should study the dinosaur tracks in the desert mud in Arizona because we want to know what kinds of dinosaurs were there and what they were doing.
It was a spot that had dinosaur prints just in that one spot. The scientists want to know what kinds of dinosaurs were there. That place was in a desert in Arizona.
People can know where dinosaurs lived in Arizona millions of years ago. That might give clues about what the climate was like. They might find out it was different.

Melissa's essay about robot suits
*Melissa's essay is about an article we read in class called "A Robot Suit". Scientists in Japan have developed a robotic suit that can enable those who have lost the use of their legs to walk again.
by Melissa
My name is Melissa. I live in a small town in Alaska. I like to run and jump and play. I would be sad if I couldn’t do those things. I would be sad if the people I loved couldn’t do those things. I think robot suits are a good idea because they help people.
The suit is robotic pants. If you open it up you will see wires. Those wires make a robotic suit. Those wires make it walk.
It helps people walk. If someone shattered their leg, the suit could help them walk. It’s for people who have legs but can’t use them again. If people are old and their legs are weak, the suit helps.
