The topic for these fabulous paragraphs? Animals, of course! But not just any animals.... these animals were created in our imaginations by spelling real animal names backwards! This would lay the groundwork for many upcoming assignments. We've learned how to write vivid, clear sentences with various grammatical patterns, and now it is time to put many sentences together, stay on topic, and have fun describing this animal to our readers. Enjoy these samples from across the ages!

The Yeknom, by Noah (4th grade)
The yeknom is a good builder. It's a good builder because it's really strong and smart. The yeknom has really thick fur in case its building collapses on it. Because the yeknom has thick fur, it will not feel pain as much as a normal animal would. As you can see, the yeknom is a very good constructor.

The Rotagilla, by Nikhil (6th grade)
The rotagilla is a medium-sized and furious beast. It is very dangerous, and it likes to scare people and other animals. With its powerful and sharp teeth, it consumes its prey with ease. When the rotagilla finds its prey, it swims slowly toward it, in an attempt to intimidate, while its prey tries to swim away. The rotagilla is an animal that anyone would want to stay away from, because of its very aggressive and malicious nature.
