The Task

Your mission is to predict the types of adaptations that the animal may have made so that you know what to look for when you arrive on the island. As a group, you have been instructed by the President to draw an illustration of the animal as you believe it would appear today. In addition, you must write a paragraph explaining why you predicted the adaptations that you chose. You will present your drawing and conclusions to the President and Congress (your teacher and the class) in a 3-5 minute presentation during which you will explain your reasoning behind your predictions.

The President has assigned each member of your team a specific role:

Professor of Protective Coloration
Specialist of Structural and Behavioral Adaptations
Master of Migration and Hibernation

You will individually gather information about your specific topic. After you have completed your individual research, you will come together as a group in order to pool your resources and create your final project.
