Enrichment: Can you begin with the end in mind?


Think about your Adaptations and your Food Web unit.  Write a paragraph about this animal using your vocabulary.  It is an informational paragraph.  

  1. Start with a topic sentence that tells what the paragraph is about
  2. Add at least three supporting sentences with details about the topic
  3. If you need it, use a closing sentence to restate the topic.
Here is an example! Begin with the end in mind.  Think before you write.  Do not write incomplete sentences.  Be brilliant!  See you at the edge!!

  7. This is a mythical creature. I think this is half unicorn half triceritops I call it a unitops. It is a herbivore. It is prey. It defends itself by his horn and spikes on his or her back. It has a lazer horn and a smacking tail. It blinds animals by it's many bright colors. It's a primary consumer. It has super speed. The unitops tail makes a force field.

  9. This is a unicornosaurs. It's a cross between a unicorn and a stegosaurs. It eats elephants whole. It's a carnivore. Its spikes help it to defend itself. Its tail helps it balance while it is running. The horn helps it by crashing into rocks so it does not have to go around the rock. That is how the unicornosaurs lives.

  13. this mythical creature lives in a wet and grassy place and can go under water. the reason it can go under water is that the horn on its head is like a breathing staition on its head because there is a hole on the tip of the horn. this creature is called the unisoarus. its a cross between a unicorn and a dinosaur. it has no adaptations it can eat hole citys . it stays asleep most of the time. the only two reasons it would awake are if some one woke it up and every 9,999 hundred years to eat . that is all about this creature.by Anna
