Extinct+Animal+Project

//Post ideas for the Extinct Animal Project here.//

Create an imaginary animal that is now extinct from a fruit or vegetable. (The book //[|Vegetal como eres]// will give students some good ideas.)

Make a book that describes the story of your animal’s life in Spanish. Be sure to include the information listed below and to write at least 2 sentences about each item. You may make a big book, [|e-book], [|pop-up book] (see also //[|How to Make a Pop-up Photograph]// and //[|Simple Pop-ups You Can Make by Robert Sabuda])//, [|shadow puppet book/video], [|read along book], [|smoosh book], etc.


 * 1) Describe the animal’s physical appearance
 * 2) Describe the animal’s personality
 * 3) Describe the animal’s habitat—where it lived, what the area looked like
 * 4) Describe the animal’s diet—favorite foods, things it would not or could not eat, how much it ate
 * 5) Describe the animal’s habits and daily routines—other related animals, predators, things it liked to do/disliked doing, how it typically spent its days
 * 6) Describe the animal’s strengths and weaknesses—things that it did well/badly
 * 7) Describe how other animals or people felt about or acted toward the animal
 * 8) Describe an interesting event that happened in the animal’s life one day
 * 9) Explain the event that led to the animal’s extinction

Illustrate your book. You may draw your illustrations, "mash up" clip art or magazine pictures, or take photos of the animal you created.
