LI: to create a creature with superpowers, using your imagination.

For today’s Summer Learning Journey Activity, our task was to use our imagination to create our own creature with superpowers. Above here is a picture of my animal that I have created, along with some information about what he can do and some personal information about him like what he eats. I created my own type of species as a mixture of powers injected in a bunny’s body, injecting powers that could fit a good match with his body and habitat, like for eg: the powers my animal/bunny has is super agility & super ears, his main strength is his ears because of his so many capabilities of his ears like, physical strength and soundwaves.

I enjoyed this activity because of using my imagination, to create my own creature with it’s own abilities.
