Task: At this station, you will look at animal tracks in a picture and tell a story of what you think happened.

Directions:

  1. 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.

  2. 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?

  3. 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.
