FURBIT - Parts of Many Animals

Create an imaginary creature for your classroom to capture your students' attention.
Cut out parts of different animals and glue them to a sheet of paper to form your creature.  Introduce the newly created animal to your class and ask them what they think he is.  Name the various animals the new creature was made from.  Write a class story telling where Furbit lives, what he eats, what activities he likes, what habits... OR have students write  individual stories.  Post stories in the hallway with your creative writing.  If you have enough pictures to cut up, each child could do their own imaginary animal.
