31st October – Halloween
NATIONAL ANIMALS
After reading and listening to the text about “National Animals” on your SB p 116 ( Nr 6 / Nr 7), take some time and think about these questions:
What is the national animal in your country/area ? Is the animal native to your country/area and is it a protected species? Why do you think it’s the national/local symbol?
After two minutes, you will probably choose one of the options related to the pictures above: the Minorcan Horse, the Lilford’s Lizard or the Spanish Bull. Can you think of any other animal ? You can ask your colleagues in class and see what answer they got!
TASK:
You need to write a text of about 80 words describing the animal you consider the most representative of your area or nation. Please, use paragraphs and include information related to its weigh, size, main features ( fur, colour, tail…) and its character; that is if the animal is brave or strong and it’s good to work or enjoy our free time with. You can look for information on the internet. Please, include an interesting picture of it.
Then, share the document with the teachers on DRIVE.
Have fun and start investigating!!
