Fact and OpinionCoral reefs are found in some oceans. These reefs are

made by tiny animals. When these tiny animals die, they leave

behind piles of empty shells. More tiny animals grow on top of

these shells. This happens over and over again. The coral reef

gets bigger and bigger.

You can dive near a coral reef! Everything you see will

be beautiful. You might even see green sea turtles. They are

a little bit scary, though. They are about three feet long and

weigh about 300 pounds.

You may also see colorful angelfish. They aren’t afraid as

they swim around. They can hide inside cracks in the coral if

they need to be safe.

Read the article above. Then complete a T-Map that lists three facts and three opinions from the article.

I went to the library to learn more about dolphins. I read

books and looked on the Internet, too. I learned a lot.

Some people think that dolphins are always happy.

That’s because it looks like they’re smiling all the time. But

dolphins aren’t always happy. The shape of their mouths just

looks like a smile.

Dolphins are playful. Scientists say that dolphins play

all day long. Some dolphins love to play with balls and hoops.

They love their trainers, too. I think it would be fun to play

with dolphins!
