Would You Rather - Part 10

Dear students,

For your final blog posts, you will write a persuasive paragraph in a series called "Would You Rather." In each post, I will give you a scenario, and you will have to defend your answer using the following criteria:



  • topic sentence stating your opinion
  • At least 3 supporting sentences defending your opinion
  • One counter argument
  • A concluding sentence summarizing your writing

Here is your "Would You Rather" for today:

Would you eat a bowl full of crickets or a bowl full of worms?

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,
Mrs. Eads

    Would you rather eat a bowl of crickets or a bowl of worms.
    Crickets would be crunchy and worms like jello with guts.
    I don't like crunchy but i've heard reports about how good they are very good and you can cover them in chocolate. If you ate worms they would be slimy, slippery and like moving jello. i chose bowl of crickets.

  2. I would rather eat a bowl of crickets than eating a bowl of worms. The first reason is when I was little I had a cricket and it didn't taste bad. The second reason is worms are really slimy and I don't like slimy stuff. The third reason is you could cover them in chocolate and that would taste okay :)

  3. I would rather eat a bowl of crickets more than a bowl of worms! Because first you could make the crickets chocolate covered so they wouldn't taste so bad! Second you would get it over with quick! Finally they sell candy crickets at The Sugar Shack so they must be okay to eat! Some people may want to eat a bowl of worms but then it would be slimy and it would not be over quick because they are so long! I would rather eat a bowl of crickets more than a bowl of worms!

  4. I would rather eat a bowl full of crickets than a bowl full of worms. Because I have already had crickets and they are okay. also if you dip them in chocolate they are good. And crickets just taste like chips. Some may think worms are better but they are not, my grandma said that they are good for you so I would choose crickets.

  5. I would rather eat a bowl full of cricket rather than a bowl full of worms. One reason is you could fry the crickets and then you wouldn’t even know what they are. Another reason is you could get it over quickly because they are small instead of long. Lastly, worms would not be good fried because they would be really chewy, but crickets are crunchy. Some may argue that they would rather eat worms because they are just like noodles, but that would not be fun because they would be really long and squishy. All these reasons are why I would rather eat a bowl full of crickets instead of worms.

  6. I would rather eat a bowl of crickets, because I would not have to eat slimy worms, crickets could be seasoned, so they would taste good , and you could finish more at one time. However, some may prefer to eat a bowl full of worms because, they could fry them, they would not have to crunch crickets, and you could fry worms so they would be like shrimp. Though some may prefer to have a bowl full of worms, I still would choose to have a bowl full of crickets because, you could dip them in chocolate, you could season them, and you could make them so you would not even be able to see them. I could make crickets taste pretty good!

  7. I would rather eat a bowl of crickets than a bowl full of worms.I would dip them in chocolate and crisp them.I could also put seasoning on them.I could also dip them in chocolate.Some people might say a bowl of worms is better because you can get protein.I say it’s not because people actually eat crickets and not worms.This is why I chose a bowl of crickets.

  8. I would rather eat a bowl full of Crickets instead of a bowl full of Worms. Crickets are actually a real food, so people would not think you’re gross. Also, you could do things like roast and salt them, making them taste good. Some people would rather eat a bowl full of Worms instead of a bowl full of Crickets, but they would taste slimy, whatever you did to them. With crickets, they’re already slime free. I would rather eat a bowl full of Crickets instead of a bowl full of Worms.

  9. I would rather eat a bowl full of crickets than a bowl full of worms. The first reason is because you can dip them in chocolate. The second reason is because you can put them on all different types of food. The third reason is because you make them in all different favors. However, some may argue that it is better to eat a bowl full of worms than a bowl full of crickets because fish also eat worms. I would prefer to eat a bowl full of crickets because they come in different flavors. That is the reasons why I would eat a bowl full of crickets.

  10. I would rather eat a bowl of crickets rather than a bowl of worms because you could cook the crickets and cover them in chocolate. Also, if you were in the middle of nowhere and there was nothing but crickets you would have to eat the crickets. Finally, worms would climb up your body. Some may argue that eating worms would be better but they are much bigger to swallow and crickets are smaller. Those are the reason why I chose to to eat a bowl of crickets rather than a bowl of worms.

  11. I would rather eat a bowl of crickets instead of a bowl of worms because the worms would crawl up your throat N-Never mind. Also, you could fry the crickets in CHOCOLATE! Also, it would be really crunchy and AMAZING Lastly, I have had them before and they are not bad. Some people might want to to eat the worms because the have seen the movie How To Eat Fried Worms. But, it's a movie it like never happened. That's why I choose to eat a bowl of crickets.

  12. Would you Rather Part 10
    I would rather eat a bowl of crickets than a bowl of worms. First, you could cook them and cover them in chocolate. They would taste really good. Well, better than plain worms. Second, the texture of the worms are just really slimy. But the texture of a cricket is crunchy. It would be gross, but better than slimy. Last but not least, once a cricket is crunched, it’s dead. But like what we learned in kindergarten, when a worm is cut in half, it lives on. It would climb up your throat. That would be disgusting. Some people might eat worms because they are ugly, but think about their insides. EWWWWW!!! That is why I would rather eat a bowl of crickets than a bowl of worms.

  13. I would rather eat a bowl of crickets and here are my reasons why...
    You can dip the crickets in something so you won't taste them. Also, crickets taste like chicken so they are good. However, some my say eating a bowl of worms is better because crickets are crunchy, but if you eat a bowl of crickets you can fry them and add spices to your liking. this is why I'd eat a bowl of crickets.

  14. I would eat a bowl of crickets. First reason they are crunchy instead slimy. The second reason is you could dip them in chocolate or put them in a sucker. The third reason is you could eat more easy then worms. Some may say that they would rather eat worms because they have protein in them, but that would not taste good and chocolate crickets taste good. That is why I picked to eat a bowl of crickets.

  15. I would rather eat a bowl of crickets than a bowl of worms, because You could put chocolate on it and it would taste better. Also, they wouldn’t take long to eat like worms. You could spice it up with so many things you won’t even taste it. Some people might want to eat a bowl of worms because they don’t have bones or legs, but you can eat crickets faster. That is why I would rather eat a bowl of crickets than a bowl of worms.

    I would rather eat crickets than eat worms. Here’s why, first, people already eat cooked crickets. Second, crickets are not slimy but crunchy. Finally, I’m pretty sure that there is a soup that is specially made with crickets. But some people would rather eat worms instead of crickets because they have protein in them. They are so slimy though and who knows what the slime is made from. This was a gross Would You Rather

    I would rather eat a bowl of crickets. For example, I could cook them and make them crunchy. Also, they are very slimy. If I didn’t chew the worms they would crawl back up my throat. However, some people would rather eat a bowl of worms but I think it is worse. That is why I think eating a bowl of worms is better.

  19. I would rather eat worms than crickets. If I eat worms, they would not be so crunchy. Also, they would be like noodles in soup. Finally, I would just slurp it down. Although some would rather eat crickets, I would rather eat worms. Honestly, I would rather not eat any but it is required. If I eat worms it would be gross but cool!

  20. I would rather eat a bowl of crickets because they would not be as slimy and gross as a cricket. Also, I have tried a cricket before and I don't think it is worse than a worm. On the other hand, worms still are not as small as crickets and I just don't like worms at all. That is why I would rather eat a bowl of crickets.

  22. I would rather have a bowl full of worms than a bowl full of crickets and here are my reasons why.

Although some may prefer to eat crickets I would like to eat worms better because they are Like Jello! This is why I choose what I choose.

  23. I would rather eat a bowl of crickets than eat a bowl of worms. I chose this because crickets actually taste better than worms. (They don't taste as bad as they seem.) Also, worms are slimy and gross. But crickets are crunchy. However, some people may not prefer to eat crickets because they are crunchy. To me, crunchy is better than slimy. This is why I would rather eat a bowl of crickets than eat a bowl of worms.:P (Although I would rather do neither)

  24. I would rather eat a bowl full of crickets because it wouldn’t be juicy like the worms. Also, it would be like eating a bowl of brown chips. Thirdly, crickets also have a lot protien. Some people may say that eating worms is better because it is like spaghetti but, it would be slimey. I would want to eat a bowl full of crickets for many reasons.

  25. NEITHER. I can’t stand the idea of eating worms or crickets or just bugs in general! I like to go to a restaurant and eat warm ramen soup. NOT BUGS! I would not eat bugs if they were the last food on earth. I would rather starve to death than eat bugs. If I ate bugs I would die of fear and it would also it would take hundreds of them to make any dent in your hunger. (But if I had to choose one “BLECH!” I would choose “Blech!” crickets. “Blech!”)

    I would want to have some worms. You could make them crunchy. Bacon starts out like worms and it becomes crunchy, so why not do it with worms????????????????? People might want to fry crickets, but you could make a worm jell-o.I would like to have worms.

  27. I would rather eat a bowl full of worms than a bowl full of crickets. If I ate a bowl full of worms I could put a lot more in at a time. Also, worms aren’t as hard. It wouldn’t be crunchy in my mouth. My last reason to eat worms is that worms are healthy, and a good source of protein. However, some people may want to eat a bowl of crickets because they would be nice and crunchy. Even knowing that I would rather eat a bowl of worms.

  28. I would rather eat a cricket over a worm because…
    This may seem really gross but, worms have poop stored up inside them sol if you eat it you will be eating their poop to! Next they will be alive inside your body, you know the thing worms the sickness you can get! My dog Mudge got that, and got sick that could happen. Lastly THAT WOULD BE TOTALLY DISGUSTING!!!!!!!!!!! I would rather eat neither ever in my LIFETIME!

  29. I would rather eat a bowl full of crickets rather than a bowl full of worms. First, the worms would be slimy and be like jello but with guts. It would be slimy and squishy in your mouth. Second, you could cook the crickets and then put them in chocolate. ( but I don’t even like chocolate.) However, some people would rather eat worms because they are healthy and you could just gush them down your throat. I would rather eat a bowl full of crickets. I would eat neither if I had a choice.

  30. I would rather have a bowl of crickets.1 reason is you could flavor them with seasoning. Another reason is that I have already had crickets. You may chose worms because they have lots of protein. But I would have crickets because you can by them from a store and not have to dig them out of the earth.I would rather not do this at all but if I had to I would chose crickets.

  31. I would rather eat a bowl full of crickets than a bowl full of worms, one reason is because if you ate a bowl full of crickets they are bigger so you could eat them faster. Two more reasons are that they are better for you and they are protein. However some people may think that eating a bowl full of worms are better because you can have more protein, but if you eat a bowl full of crickets you could get even more protein if your out in the wild!! So that’s why I think eating a bowl full of crickets is better.

  32. I would rather have a bowl of crickets. Because If you cut a worm in half it will still live, so if you ate a worm it would stay alive inside OF YOU. Also I don't like bugs in general so I would rather starve to death. However some people love bugs and would eat them but WHY.This is why I would rather eat crickets.
