Activity 1: Fantastic Beasts [4 points]
In New Zealand we have many unusual animals. One of the most unusual is the kiwi bird - a bird that does not have wings and can not fly. Pretty strange, eh?! J.K. Rowling, the author of the Harry Potter books, has recently written a new book about strange or unusual animals called ‘Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them.’
For this activity, please watch this cool book trailer. Year 7 and Year 8 students in South Auckland, New Zealand helped to make it. Once you have watched the video, use your imagination and create your very own beast. What does your beast look, smell, feel, and sound like?
On your blog, post a description of your beast. Use interesting adjectives (describing words) to tell us about your beast.
Hi this is Lenny. Lenny used to be cute and playful until 3 people came and stole him and he was shut down for 3 years. When i found him 3 years ago he turned into a killing machine. He was about to kill me then he remembers all the fun time we had together. Then he protected me and brought me to those 3 people they were my friends Harry,Tom and my best friend Toby. The machine was furious its teeth turns razor sharp and blood came drooping from his teeth my friends ran off and Lenny turns back into the cute maching I made.
Kia ora Mason,
ReplyDeleteYour Fantastic Beast named Lenny seems like he has gone through a lot. It is great how you've made an effort to keep the bond between you two. Thank goodness he remembered all the good times after 3 years has passed by!
Did you draw the beast yourself using Google Drawing? I am super impressed with how you've used an online tool to create this visual representation of your beast. Ka pai!
What does your beast normally like to eat and what is his favourite thing to do now? I'd love to know.
