Title: Activity for Body Parts, Animals, Conditional: Build Your Wild Self
Body: An FLTEACH user suggests the following activity and accompanying website: I used to ask students to create what in today's terms we would call a "mashup" animal--constructed by combining recognizable parts from three animals. Then I gave them a formula they could use to write basic sentences about their animals: If I had the (insert Body Part 1) of a (insert Animal 1), the (insert Body Part 2) of a (insert Animal 2) and the (insert Body Part 3) of a (insert Animal 3), I could (insert Verb Phrase 1), I would (insert Verb Phrase 2), and I would (insert Verb Phrase 3). So a completed version when they are just learning the tense might look something like this: If I had the arms of a monkey, the body of a camel, and the feet of a horse, I could climb tall trees, I would never get thirsty, and I could run faster than all of my friends. Today I found a great site online that lets students do this with just the click of a button: http://www.buildyourwildself.com . I can envision any number of uses for it. It could be used with the above assignment I described, but you could also have students create animals, print them out, and then write little smoosh books about their former daily habits-where they lived (habitats), what they ate (diet and nutrition), what they liked to do (pastimes, verbs), what challenges they faced, and then after describing all those things in the imperfect, they could explain what happened on a particular day that caused the animal to become extinct (preterit). These could be used for paired activities (one student says the sentences, the other student creates the animal), turned into paper dolls, and any number of other fun things that would allow them to practice body parts, clothing, descriptive adjectives, and so forth. Montgomery, C. Build Your Wild Self - Activities that involve animals, body parts, and the conditional, among other things.
