Objectives Children will be able to give the name of the animal that they drew, say if it is predator or prey, tell me where the animal came from and how it got to the museum. This will all be assessed through the child's story. I will bring out the easel we used in the pre-visit activity and see if their opinions of museums have changed and see if they want to list three more animals under predator and prey. I will then hand them back the pictures they drew at the museum and tell them that I want them to put more detail in the picture. Put things that they think their animal would be around.
Examples are rocks, trees and grass.
Tell them after they are done drawing they are going to write a story about their animal. This story can be realistic or make believe. Whatever they decide they have to include the name of the animal, whether it is predator or prey, and where it came. I will then tell the children that we will be putting the pictures on the wall to make our own museum and that each child will be asked to tell their story before hanging up their pictures. Closure I will ask the children if there are any other places they could go with their families to learn about animals or other things that they are interested in.
