The students' needed to work together and had to write a short paragraph about their animal after they finished their webs. They needed to do a draft, edit their work, rewrite it, and then publish it. After all of their revisions, they would type out their papers. This is the first activity that leads into other activities in my unit. Some of the other activities are creating a diorama using what they've learned about their animal, creating a class mural, publishing their own fiction books about their animal, etc.
