Writing Ideas

  • Write a set of instructions on how to catch lobster krill. Design your writing for a gentoo penguin, who is going hunting for the very first time.
  • Gentoo penguins really are charismatic creatures. Find out more about gentoo penguins and write a non-chronological (information) report showing how special they are. You could include what they look like, what their diet includes, how they hunt and how they move.
  • Imagine you are the presenter in the main clip. You have spent the day on the sheltered valleys watching a gentoo penguin colony. Write a diary entry, recording what happened throughout your day.
