Task: At this station, you will look at animal tracks in
a picture and tell a story of what you think happened.
Directions:
- Look at the picture in front of you. You should see two kinds
of animal tracks in the picture. Look for patterns in these tracks,
they tell a story. Pretend you actually found these patterns of
tracks outside.
- Study the picture for a few minutes. What do you think happened
in this story? What kind of animals do you think made the tracks?
- Use the paper on the desk to write a story that tells what you
think might have happened.
*** REMEMBER: Try to identify the animals that made
the tracks. Write your story based upon what you observe in the
picture.
