Build Your Wild Self


Build Your Wild Self

Above is the Frogafly I created using 'Build Your Wild Self'. This was a lot of fun and I think it could be used in so many ways. The first thing that comes to mind is using it when exploring animals/mythical creatures as part of a literacy/science integrated topic. It could also be used to create a character for a writing piece, or for a performing arts activity. Even as an introduction for a visual arts lesson where they have to create their own creature using various materials like paper mache, fabric, fine paper, feathers, etc.. I was inspired by what you could create with this website. It could also be used in a thinking activity by asking students to come up with a creature that can, for example,  live in the ocean, listen for predators that are far away, and live on bugs. Not only is it fun to create these creatures, its interesting to see what ideas kids come up with when they are exploring the different features available to them.
