DAY 3: Awesome Animals
Activity 1: Fantastic Beasts [4 points]
In New Zealand, we have many unusual animals. One of the most unusual is the kiwi bird - a bird that does not have wings and can not fly. Pretty strange, eh?! J.K. Rowling, the author of the Harry Potter books, has recently written a new book about strange or unusual animals called ‘Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them.’
For this activity, please watch this cool book trailer. Year 7 and Year 8 students in South Auckland, New Zealand helped to make it. Once you have watched the video, use your imagination and create your very own beast. What does your beast look, smell, feel, and sound like?
On your blog, post a description of your beast. Use interesting adjectives (describing words) to tell us about your beast.
Furry, Furious, Yellow eyes, Jaguar ears, Sharp Teeth, Sharp claws, Calm, Fast, Black fur, Jaguar looking
Hi George,
ReplyDeleteWhat great adjectives you have used to describe your beast! I don't know if I'd like to meet him, does he have any friendly qualities? The word that stands out for me above is "calm": so he has all these exciting qualities but in the middle of it all he is calm - I like that.
Do you have any pets that remind you of this beast?
I'm really enjoying your activities. I look forward to reading more!
