Students were then instructed to write a paragraph describing their birds. Below are some sample paragraphs.
My bird is called "fish-eater." My bird lives in the ocean. The fish-eater bird eats fish like blue gills, cod, and salmon. The legs help it stand up because if it had short legs they would snap. The neck helps it stick out of the water if it needs air. Also, the sharp beak helps it to dig into the fish so it can eat it more easily. The tail helps it swim. These are the things about my fish-eater bird.

Do you know what an eastreage is? An eastreage is a bird that is half ostrich and half eagle. It eats fish such as pink fish, arctic cod, greyling, and other arctic fish species. They live in the arctic. It captures its prey by pecking through the ice and sticking its head into the ice opening. Then, it opens its beak and shows its worm-like tongue and attracts the fish. The eastreage has a few adaptations which are big feet to walk on the arctic surfaces and really good eye sight. They also see well because it is night all day parts of the year.
