   HOW WOULD YOU DO IT?
3. Use Pictures as ALTERNATIVES
4. Grade 3 (#22)

   --> but be cautious, because pictures have a kind of "readability" about them too
   
   --> be particularly cautious if you have children from another culture
   
   -want to use for ESL students to help readability
   
   -but "perspective" is literally different in other cultures, etc. (Donalda & perspective)
   
   
5. Cut down on reading -- PICTURE IS WORTH A 1000 WORDS
6. Flute

8. Infinite Elasticity
   
9. Ice Flows
