Wolfe Like Tiffany

Some of our school's finest science researchers are investigating how you get head lice for the regional "science expo." This fascinating introduction to lice was written by our own Tiffany in Ms. Arias' class:

How dose lice feel? We had to interview VIP people to know that! We interview Ms. Ramsey, Ms. Arias. We want to www.headlice.org to get a little bit of imformation. We ask people if they had lice before! And them both said yes!

Lice is very itchy! said “Ms. Arias.” At frist you don’t feel it, or you don’t think of it tht much! But when your head itches that when you think you have lice. Or when you hear lice you start to scratch more and more! When there is egg you can’t feel the lice at all!! That what Ms. Ramsey said! It takes some time for them to grow biger! Once they lay eggs and more of them are born, there are a lot on your head. They get really, really, itchy when there are a lot of the actual bugs!!

What you have to do so the lice could go away is that you could use a special shapoo!! That what Ms. Ramsey use to get rid of the lice!! And her mom had to take the killed lice always with her hands!! Ms. Arias, what she did was that they poured gas in her head!! How naste was that!!

You could get lice from playing outdoors, from some one else, They can be spread by clothing, bedding, swimming and material!! So you better watch out for lice!!! It could be anywhere around you!!!!

I told Tiffany that she writes with a lot of "voice." She uses a lot of exclamation points like a very famous New York writer named Tom Wolfe. Wolfe is the man in the picture. He is a social scientist. That means he researches the science of people and society. He also always wears that silly white suit.
