Descriptive Writing

We watched this clip of the animals that live in the rain forests in Rio, and we wrote these

Today I have learnt how to use google slides to create an animation. First, I thought about my story, then I found my background. I found my characters and put them on the first slide. Then I had to copy and paste that slide and move the characters a little bit.
