Creature Discovery Assignment

This assignment will put your descriptive language skills to the test!

You’re an explorer, searching deep in the Amazon rain forest for undiscovered creatures. Suddenly, you come across a species that you have never seen before! 

You scramble to reach your camera, only to realize that the battery is completely dead. Quickly and quietly, you write down as much specific, descriptive language possible so that your sketch artist can draw this mysterious creature upon your return to the base camp.  

Can you use descriptive language to successfully convey your discovered creature to a sketch artist?

*Make sure you reference the rubric before and after completing the assignment. This will ensure that you are on track towards successful completion.
