Plenzenarks neutralized his disease in a mere month and he is now completely normal. I believe that the discovery of plenzenarks will prove to be the most important scientific advancement of the last century. A list or series: Plenzenarks make up ninety-nine percent of the Earth’s atmosphere. They make up ninety-five percent of the world’s soil. They are in eighty-five percent of the Earth’s water. But only one percent of the world’s population knows what plenzenarks are. Unless we can raise more awareness about these vital particles, our planet is in serious danger. Present the problem: The biggest issue we face today is the disappearance of plenzenarks. Every person on Earth is affected by this problem. Unfortunately, most people still question the existence of plenzenarks. If we are to solve this crisis, we must convince people that plenzenarks exist. Who-what-when-where-why-how: Last week, scientists at the Center for New Discoveries in Washington, D.C. found evidence of new particles called plenzenarks. The scientists were experimenting with DNA when they accidentally stumbled upon the plenzenarks. This discovery is sure to change the world as we know it.

Parts of Speechless, page 99 Answers will vary. Some possibilities: 1. (no pronouns) A little boy and a little girl were playing fetch with their golden retriever puppy. The little boy would throw a stick and the puppy would fetch the stick. Then the little girl would try throwing the stick, but the puppy would just jump up and lick the little girl’s face. The puppy could smell ice cream on the little girl’s face and preferred to shower the little girl with puppy kisses, hoping to get a taste of the ice cream. The puppy thought that was much better than chasing some stupid stick.
