Elusive Egyptian Cobra
Thank you to Daniel for bringing in a selection of reptile books and sparking an interesting discussion about the Egyptian Cobra that has escaped in the Bronx Zoo. Using Daniel's books and other books from the classroom library, we researched some quick facts about cobras and then the students began to imagine what adventures the cobra might be partaking in while escaped. Students wrote and drew their ideas which ranged from cobra tweets to a New Yorker article advocating for the un-caging of zoo animals, authored by the cobra.
These are two articles that we read during class:
