Please remember to check for mistakes by reading aloud your post to yourself before you publish it. I cannot wait to see what you write!
Your teacher,

I would rather eat a bowl full of crickets instead of a bowl full of worms. First, The crickets will instantly die but worms will crawl around in your mouth. Second, crickets are smaller than worms so it would be easier to eat than worms. Third, worms are very slimey so it would be even more gross than worms. Some people say that worms could slide right into your mouth but you could choke on them. That's why I would rather eat crickets.
ReplyDeleteIf I had had to either eat a full bowl of crickets or a full bowl of worms, I would rather eat a full bowl of crickets. First, worms would taste really slimy. Second, I could roast the crickets, and they would taste good with seasoning. Finally, worms would be really slippery. But some may argue that worms are better because they like slimy flavor. This is why I would choose to eat crickets.
ReplyDeleteIf I had to choose between eating a bowl full of worms or a bowl full of crickets, I would choose a bowl full or crickets. Here are my reasons why. first, You can fry the crickets and it will taste like chips. Second, If you ate worms it would be all slimy and nasty. Last, some people eat crickets for fun, and they don't taste that bad. However, some people may argue that they would rather eat a bowl full of worms because it would run down really fast and you wouldn't taste it. That is why I would rather eat a bowl full of crickets.
ReplyDeleteIf I had to choose between eating a bowl full of worms or, a bowl full of crickets. I would choose to eat a bowl full of crickets. First of all, crickets aren't slimy and mushy. Second of all, crickets are smaller and you can just swallow them whole without even having to taste them. Finally, I would throw up if I ate worms and people cover cricket in chocolate and that would taste good. Although, some people may say that worms would be able to chew them. And those are all reasons why I eat crickets and not eat worms.
ReplyDeleteI would rather eat a bowl full of crickets.
ReplyDeleteFirst,because you can crunch on them instead of having to crunch on fried worms. Fried worms can bust open and get slime in your throat.
Second,you can put salt and pepper on it. Salt and pepper fix EVERYTHING!!!!!
Lastly,If you cook them, they will have more flavor.
Some may argue that having worms are better but I don't think that is the case.
That is why I would have crickets over worms.
If I had to choose between eating a bowl full of crickets or eating a bowl full of worms I would choose to eat a bowl full of crickets. First, You will be able to actually crunch the cricket. If you were eating a worm it would just slither down in your throat. Second, Crickets are dry, and worms are slimy and wet. Finally, If you were eating a worm you could choke on one. Some people may argue and say that worms are better and that you could fry them. Those are my reasons why I chose to pick eating a bowl full of crickets over a bowl full of worms.
ReplyDeleteIf I had had to either eat a full bowl of crickets or a full bowl of worms, I would choose a bowl of worms. I would choose a bowl of worms because it might actually taste good. It also might taste good cooked. And if the worms were cooked they would be dead, so they would not squirm in your mouth. However some may think that crickets would be better because they aren't slimy or squigly. Although some may think that I would prefer eating a bowl of worms.
ReplyDeleteI think that this "Would you Rather" for today was hard to decide on. I think that both of the decisions would have to be cooked at least. I would rather have crunchy crickets rather than jucy, disgusting worms. Just think about feeling that juicy burst of guts and slimy skin! But, think about a nice fried, crunchy cricket! First, worms live in the dirt where other nasty creatures live. And the cricket would probably live in a nice warm home with lots of food and shelter. Second, worms have a slimy substance on their skin that grosses me out! Finally, crickets would go well with lots of salt and if aloud, a big thing of fries. I don't know anybody who would choose worms rather than crickets to eat! Those are my reasons why I would rather have crickets to eat rather than a worm.
ReplyDeleteIf I were to choose between eating a bowl of crickets or eating a bowl of worms I would choose eating a bowl of crickets. Here are my reasons. First, I would eat the cricket inside of a lolly pop. Second, if I were to eat a worm you would probaly have to swallow it. Last, you can just plug your nose to not taste it. Some may argue. I think it is better
ReplyDeleteIf I had to choose to either eat a bowl of worms or a bowl of crickets, I would rather eat a bowl of crickets. First, crickets would be really dry and would taste like a chip. Second if you ate a cricket it would go down easier and you could put seasoning on it and it would taste good. Third, some people actually eat crickets. My friend got sour cream and onion crickets. Fourth, they would be crunchy and that is better then slimy worms. Fifth, crickets would be smaller and you could eat the fast. You could pop them into your mouth and it would be done faster. Although some may argue that eating a bowl of worms would be better, but I do not agree. They would be slimy and it you be all mushy in the middle. When the went down your throat, the would squirm and wiggle their way down. Also if they started to go back up then you would throw up worms. That would be disgusting! Although I would hate to do any of them I would rather eat a bowl of crickets.
ReplyDeleteIf I had to choose whether I would eat a bowl full of crickets or a bowl full of worms I would eat a bowl full of crickets. One reason is, people that live in other countries eat crickets for meals so then it wouldn't be as weird. Second, crickets are still full of good nutrients and the would be reasonable. Finally, the crickets could be chocolate crickets or just ones covered in sugar or salt. However some people may say worms would be tasteless and you could just swallow them, but worms have possible dirt diseases in them (not that I care). Those are the reasons I would rather eat a bowl of crickets rather than worms.

ReplyDeleteIf I had a choose between eating a bowl of crickets or eating a bowl of worms ,I would rather eat a bowl of crickets .

For example, I would tell myself they were just different colored noodles. Second, since they are slimy I would not even chew them. I would just gulp them right down my mouth. Third, in New Orleans there was a bug museum and my dad made me eat a worm, it taste like nothing. At least that is all I remember.

ReplyDeleteIf I had to choose between eating a bowl of crickets and a bowl of, worms I would probably eat a bowl of worms. Here are my reasons why. First, crickets are edible. In some places they are considered a food. Once when I went to a candy store in Florida, they had crickets dipped in chocolate. So, crickets are edible. Second, crickets are smaller than worms. So, it would take less painful time to eat them. Also, they could be in a tiny bowl. Lastly, think of biting into a worm. Seriously, can you imagine sinking your teeth into a worm?! *NASTY* Just close your eyes and think about the cold slimy soft bug in your mouth. *GROSS* I wouldn't be able to eat a worm without throwing up. Although I think eating a cricket is better than eating a worm, some may think of it the other way around. After all worms don't have any eyes, antenna, legs, or any other revolting part of a cricket's body. But, worms live in dirt. If you grabbed a worm and popped it in you mouth, you would probably get dirt poisoning. You could also get worm eggs inside of your system. That is why I think eating a bowl of crickets is better than eating a bowl of worms.

Third, crickets die very easily so you don't have to worry about them crawling in your mouth. Some other people might say that eating worms is better because they just slide down your throat, but if it is still alive then it would be moving all around your body. So I would pick eating a bowl of crickets over eating a bowl of worms.
