Creature Languages, 4/24, period 4
There are books about animals, including some written in creature tongues, piled on every available surface in the classroom.
"Hello," Dream says. "As promised last week, you have today and Thursday to work on your final projects for this class. There will be a final quiz on Monday, May 1, and then the projects are due May 4. They should be shortand possibly handwaved accounts of a conversation you had with a creature whose language you have learned this term, and what you learned from them. If this poses a problem for you, please let me know, and I will suggest an alternative assignment."
He nods to a pile of papers teetering on the top of one of the stacks of books. "That should give you some ideas as to what to speak to the creature about. They are suggestions, not mandates."
Possible Topics to Address
1. Most creatures have some natural enemies. Why is that? How does the creature you are writing about feel about his or her enemies?
2. How is the creature's language adapted to its habitat? For example, why is Lobster so different from Spider?
3. What is the role of parents in the creature's culture?
4. What is the creature's favorite work of art by his or her species? Why?
5. What does the creature wish humans understood about him or her?

Re: Classwork, Creature, 4/24
"Oh, and you might want to wear clothes that you don't mind getting ruined. I had to throw away one of my hats last time. And make sure to wear sturdy shoes with thick soles. You don't want anything poking you in the foot. Or biting you. And long sleeves too. It's easier to knock any critters that land on you off your clothes than your skin."
