You also need to discover a problem or conflict that the character has or is having in this section of the book and to write the solution to that problem (if the solution is not in your section of the book, come up with a possible solution).
You will also need to complete a sketch or other illustration of your character based on the traits you find in the book.

Internet Investigator
Go to my website and click on the link Lewis and Clark. Scroll down to section 2 and click on the link of the animal you have chosen to research. Read the information provided about your animal and then write a Who Am I? poem for that animal. An example that I wrote is found below. Can you guess what animal I wrote about?
Choose from a badger, pelican, or prairie dog
Who Am I?
I live the solitary life
But I see fewer and fewer
Of my fellow species every year.
We used to live in the east
But got chased and hunted out
By the new tenants…
Guess they didn’t like our hunting nature.
Oh, deer!
(mmmmm venison)
Wait, did I say that out loud?!
Answer: Mountain Lion or Cougar
