Yes to Zoos!

1) Do zoos add to a community? There are those who would say no. But, in fact, zoos are helpful for animals, especially those that are endangered, or in danger of disappearing forever. Zoos can help protect them and keep them safe.

2) Early zoos were often nothing more than cement cages with bars. But today, more and more zoos are working to create areas that look very much like an animal's habitat in nature.

3) Workers at zoos want to help animals. If an animal becomes hurt or sick, zoos have special doctors to help them get better. Zoos make it possible for animals to raise their young in a safe place. This helps animals that are endangered as they struggle to survive.

No to Zoos!

1) For years, most people did not really stop to think about the ways zoos affect animals. It's true that zoos give people a place to learn about animals. But more and more people are questioning the idea of putting animals in zoos.

2) No matter how hard zoos work to make a zoo habitat similar to a natural habitat, they cannot succeed completely. This is because, in many cases, the needs of animals cannot be met. For example, elephants and giraffes in the wild travel and run great distances. They cannot do that in a zoo.

3) One reason people say zoos are needed is because they can help animals that are in danger of disappearing. But some animals simply do not do well in a zoo. Putting those animals in zoos is not fair.

4) Even though zoos want to help animals, there are too many problems. It is time for zoos to close.

A Theater in the Community
You take your seat in a huge hall. Your heart is racing. The lights lower, the whispers stop, and the show begins. You will not see a movie, though. You are at a community theater, the most exciting show in town! You can watch live actors perform on stage at a community theater. Most of the time, the actors are people from your town. You might see your teacher dressed up as a wolf. Your librarian could be a princess. Normal people can be stars. That is one of the best parts of community theaters. Theater is better than movies. That is because a play happens right in front of your eyes. Interesting sets and costumes help you imagine new worlds. Plays can make you laugh or cry. Plays with songs can get your feet tapping. Some stories are based on fact. Other stories are made up. Either way, it is a lot of fun. There are many benefits of community theater. People of all ages can get involved. Of course, a lot of people get nervous on stage. That’s called “stage fright.” With practice, this nervousness goes away. There are plenty of ways to help at a theater, even if you don’t want to act. People are needed to paint the set. Sometimes theaters need people to play music. Even watching the show is important. After all, someone has to clap at the end!
