Students in Mrs. DiBattista's class are being faced with a challenge. They need to design an original animal that could survive in a chosen environment. The animal needs to have special features called adaptations that will help it hunt, protect itself and flourish in the environment.
Once students have drawn a picture of their animal, they need to write a descriptive essay. Here is where the fun begins. Students exchange their essays by posting to their blogs (individual student blog link to the right of home page) the task then becomes for other students to draw the described animal to match the author's drawing.
If the student is successful in completing a drawing, the writer gets points for their essay. When a student is unable to draw the animal, they offer feedback to the writer about what needs to be improved in the essay and the author edits the essay and tries with a new partner.
If you are interested in participating in our project, check back later this week! Students are currently in the planning stages of the project.
