You will get together to discuss what should be included in your show. You will make a list which focuses on how the animal uses its senses and think about how to present the information.
Producing You each work on a different part of the TV show. When the different parts are put together, read the writing carefully, correct the mistakes and add some new ideas.
Presenting Each group will take turns presenting your TV show to the class by showing your work and narrating. Have a discussion to decide which group’s TV show is the best, and who is the best storyteller.
