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,red eye,pointy ear,sharp teeth,sharp claws,fast,angry,wide
Hi Michael
ReplyDeleteYour descriptive words of your best have me picturing it really well. Does it have a good and friendly side? What would a name for the beast be? I'd love to see you describing it in paragraphs to give me an even better picture.
Keep up the good blogging
talk to you soon,
Lee
