media type="custom" key="11556402" Students were asked to name two students each. Those animals were then compiled into a class list and used to fill in a chart. Each student was asked to look at the characteristics of the animal and then decide which two animals they would like to combine to create a new animal that helped describe more about who they were. The students came up with some very creative responses such as: Rawk- combination of rat and hawk- because rats are nosy like me and hawks like to go places. Torse- combination of a horse and tiger- because a tiger is fast like me and a horse has a long mane like I do. Touphant- combination of a toucan and elephant- because a toucan is colorful and happy and an elephant is big and loud like me. media type="custom" key="11556518"
