The Backwards Animal Paragraphs we wrote for Assignment #2 were our inspiration for our Research Papers. Enjoy these two fabulous 6th grade samples!
The Kniks, By Charlotte (6th grade)
Kniks are quite the unique animal. Connecting a large leaf to a stick, they form a type of shelter in their forest homes. The Knik's diet is rather unusual, and consists mostly of protein bars. To add to the strangeness of this animal, they are often called the San Francisco Giants Team Mascot, because of their orange and black bodies. Kniks are truly a weird sight!
Kniks will thrive in any forest, but they prefer large leaves for homes. Their shelter is quite small, as they only use it in the rain. Luckily, they have no natural predators. This is most likely because they would always be outnumbered. Unfortunately, Kniks' habitat- literally any forest- is getting cut down.

This animal's diet consists mainly of food either stolen or given by campers or hikers. Favorite snacks of these critters include protein bars and marshmallows. Because of marshmallows' and protein bars' tricky wrappers, the Kniks have learned how to open almost any type of container. Sometimes, they crave S'mores, and come up to campers to get some for themselves. They can get clumsy, however, and catch their wings on fire! Don't worry though, because strangely, they can not feel anything on this part of their bodies. To help extinguish the flame, nearby Kniks carry water in their beaks, and drop it on the friend on fire.
The Kniks is a very social creature. You can always see them with a few others at least, most likely with another family. Hanging out with his or her friends, they use a complex language that is unique to their species. Because they cannot fly, the Kniks enjoy "sleepovers," where one of them visits another tribe for the night. As you can see, Kniks just love one's company!
Kniks look quite strange. With their bright red wings and pitch black tail tip, you could easily imagine one soaring through the sky, even though they can only glide a few feet from one tree to the next. They are often called the San Francisco Giants mascot because of their orange skin and black feet, wing ends, and tail tips. When the Kniks feel the need to be dramatic, they glide in front of the full moon as the others stare in awe. This odd animal is not something you would see every day.
Obviously, Kniks are very unusual. Make sure you help these odd bat-like creatures by helping the Kniks Support Group! Visit our web site to learn more about these social forest dwellers!
The Worraps, by Tyler (6th grade)
The Worraps is a very feared beast. Its scary appearance, gruesome diet, and sinister habitat put it on the top of the Most Dangerous and Strange Animal List!
This monster is very scary-looking. He wears his slick purple skin and gold helmet rather well. His red eyes reflect the blood of his victims.
Alongs with its looks, its diet is very gruesome. It will eat whatever comes near, and it really likes human flesh. The interesting thing is not what it hunts, but how it hunts. He (and only he, for female worraps do not wield this ability), can turn nearly invisible and blend into the ground.
The Worraps' habitat is very exotic. The beast lives in the ocean or around the beach like on cliffs or rain forests. The ocean allows the Worraps to get the most food due to the fish that live there. The cliffs provide hard kills, but good meat from birds. The rainforest gives a big variety of meats, but is also hard to hunt in.
Now that you know all about the Worraps, go be the first one to hunt a Worraps without being killed in the process!
