Writing Ideas

  • Read Slow Loris by Alexis Deacon. In the story, the slow loris is seen as being slow and boring. However, at night, slow loris gets up to all sorts of adventures. Write an alternative night-time adventure to the one mentioned in the book.
  • Fed up with being called cute and compared to a Beanie Boo, you are a slow loris who needs to convince humankind that you are, in fact, a fierce creature of the forest. Write a persuasive speech that argues this case.
  • Sadly, the slow loris is an endangered species. It faces many different threats in the wild. Being captured for the exotic pet trade is one such threat. Design a poster that will make people think twice about keeping this incredible creature as a pet.
