Initially, the goal of Highlander's Create-A-Creature activity was to create a field guide of believable fantasy creatures. However, the 5th-8th graders enrolled in the activity had something a little more exciting in mind when they walked in the door: clay dioramas! Here at Highlander, we take student choice very seriously, so without hesitation, Mr. D reworked the program to include lots of clay. After all, what better way is there to learn about habitats and morphology than to build them in 3D?
After a few weeks of brainstorming critter ideas and building their background knowledge with fun games like these, the Creature Creation Crew is finally ready to get their hands on some clay and add an extra dimension to their ideas! Check out a couple of their awesome ideas:
Stay tuned for Part 2 of the Creature Creation Saga, where you can see these ideas and more in full 3D glory!
