Journal Prompt:

• Have you ever read a book or article written from the point of view of a plant or animal? What was your reaction?
• How was the effect different from what it would have been if the perspective were that of a human character?
• If your pet or the pet of someone you know well were to write a journal, what kinds of things might be included?
• What might an animal "comment on" that might not be noticed by humans?
• How might an animal understand everyday objects or events from the human world?

Select an animal and write a journal entry from the animal's point of view, without specifically mentioning what kind of animal is "writing" the entry.

When you are finished, submit your entry to the 3.04 Journal Discussion to see if your classmates can guess what type of animal wrote the entry. Then, respond to one or two other classmates to post your guess.
