While watching, think about how the story is organized.
Visit the San Diego Zoo website. Choose an animal to observe. You may want to revisit this site a couple of times during the day/week to see what your animal is doing.https://zoo.sandiegozoo.org/live-cams

Create a web that shows what your animal does/could be doing (brainstorm ideas for your story). Write the name of your animal in the middle of your page and write things that you know about it around the outside. Think about things you know, or observe, about your animal. What would it like to eat? What might it be doing? What might it think/feel?
