•Now lets see if we can create some new slides.

•As a class we will vote on a different farm animal to include.

•After we find out what animal, your team will draw the name of the slide they will work on. (use, birth, shelter, food, or covering)

•Your team will then find information to put on the slide about the animal.

•Have fun!
