Do you love nectar, like I love drawing? Questions for Animals @ ALS

After reading William Blake’s poem, The Tyger, the students wrote a poem to a strange and mysterious animal. We set the scene: for one day, you and this animal speak the same language! Ask the animal any questions you like! Enjoy–

The Shark by Jaliyah T.

Shark what do you do under the nice cool sea?
Do you love to eat turtle?
Do you love fish it is so good?
Do you love to have a big party under water?
Shark do you have a lot of friends?
You’re so cool to me shark.

The Chameleon by Heidi V.

How are you Talking?
Wow, I can talk to you now
I need to show my parents
Do any more animals talk?
How old are you?
What do you name yourself?
Where are you parents?
Where is your family?
Do they talk like you do?
Why are you finally talking now?
How do you blend in with things?
Are you okay with me asking questions?
What do you like?
What food do you like?
Are you smart?
Do you like flowers?

Why do you love nectar? Like I
love drawing

Fox by Ivette G.

really see in the night?
How can you
hear when you’re hunting?
White Tiger

White tigers are nice
What do white tigers look like?

Lion by Isander G.

If a lion is in my house I would
say to him hey lion. I would
give him food, play with him, give
him a very good shower, read
him books, treat him very good.

Are you intelligent or not? Do you
like to eat or not?
Do you bite, yes or no?
