Your
tasks: 1) Study a photo or picture of a praying mantis and draw it.
If possible study a real one in a garden or park.
Draw the mantis
on a separate piece of paper for inclusion with your English essay or draw it on
the paper you write your essay on. See the
student
example.
2) Use recycled materials to design and make a praying mantis. You can use
coloured crepe paper, thin wire for the body, lace material to cover the wings
etc. Be creative! Once finished, try to arrange the mantises in a branch in your
classroom. Don't forget that a mantis can be different colours: green, brown,
pink, violet.
