Charlies Bug Persuasive Writing

This activity was about persuasive text. We have to write our point of view here is mine. This piece was about if we should or should not eat bugs in our diet.   point of view - I think we should eat bugs

Why people should eat insects

You might look at bugs and scream, especially if you see one in your food, but actually around 2 billion people eat bugs. Mostly people from poor countries, and some cultures eat bugs for all meals! I Think that eating bugs is a good idea because it is way healthier than livestock, it is really cheap to farm or even free, and it causes less greenhouse gases than farming meat!

Firstly farming bugs is very cheap because it take 22000 Liters of water to farm 1 kilogram of Beef ,  3500  Liters of water to farm 1 kilogram of pork, 2300 liters of water to farm 1 kilogram g of chicken and It takes 1 liter of water to farm 1 kilogram of cricket. Secondly Bugs are a lot more edible then chicken of beef. You can eat 80% of a bugs while you can eat 50% of a chicken and 40% of cow, and guess what it takes 200 square meters to grow 1 pound of beef and it only takes 15 square meters to grow 1 pound of cricket.

Now if you compare 100g of cricket compared to 100gs of meat     you might  find that they have almost the exact amount of protein in each of them . Also crickets contains a lot of vitamins and minerals like calcium,  zinc and iron        

Also similar the ,mealworm contains mostly fibre as well.

Cricket is and lots of other bugs are also good to eat because of the greenhouse gases. When farming cows there are lots of greenhouse gases.greenhouse gases are caused when the cows fart. Also bugs don't fart or maybe only a little bit .   

Charlie's Breakthrough reflection

What part of my exibition am I most proud of ?

I am proud of how many people like the makey makey and I am also proud of how my display looked!

What feedback did I get from the visitors last night ?

People said things like That's amazing or Wow and How does it do that

What part of my exhibition am I most proud of?

The only thing that I would change Is putting something on the table that tells everyone how to use the makey makey when we're not there.

Who would I think to thank for supporting me in my breakthrough learning ?

I woulds like to thank my mum for helping me because she went and got us the lights for our exhibition   . I would also like to thank my teachers for teaching us more about the makey makey and helping for helping us when we were stuck.

What area of the graduate profile do you think you have grown the most? And Why? (Building Learning Capacity, Making Meaning, Collaboration, Breakthrough

I think I have most grown in collaborating because I have been stretched to work with someone other then my friends and so now I can work with more people then just my friends!

Here is a photo of how my exhibition turned out : D
