Introduction
Hello boys and girls you are a marine biologist and I need you help studying
some animals. Would you like to help me? You will be observing the animals
by looking at some pictures and live video. You will need to record the
information you find from your observations in your ocean journal. You will
also make and share a small poster showing some of the observations you
found about your ocean animal.

The Task
Boys and girls you will get the chance to make a detailed poster showing
at least three observations you found about your animal. Your poster needs
to show a picture of the animal you observed as well as at three observations
you made found. You will also need to write at least one sentence for each
observation you draw. You will be given a poster to complete this once you
have shown me your observations in your journal.
