As a summative assessment of our learning this unit, we created imaginary life cycles. We used a mix of creativity, facts, and knowledge to create a combination of two different animals. We used the same criteria as our real life cycle representations to guide our work.

Things we did a good job of:
Things we could do better:
Things we did a good job of:

Things we could do better:
- Saying exactly how the life cycle starts again
