COOL SITE
 

Do your students know anything about these animals?
- The Komodo Dragon
- The Bongo
- The Tanuki
- The Waterbuck

In the link below, they will find pictures and videos of very strange creatures. There is also very easy-to-read information about them. You may have your students carry out some research, draw wall charts, design their own “strange creature”…

If you are working with older and more advanced students, you may have them resort to the same site to find out what these expressions refer to:
- To keep a green pet,
- To eat green,
- To drive green.

And how about encouraging them to write about how …?
- To keep a green classroom,
- To do green homework.
