8th Grade - Creatures of the Deep

In your QT4 Exit Slip file, write 15 sentences using this RAFT format:

ROLE - You are a scientist planning the next Census of Marine Life
AUDIENCE - Members of Congress trying to decide on a budget
FORMAT - Giving a speech
TOPIC - Explain why it's important to know what kind and how many organisms are in the ocean

For each of these Target Words that you use correctly in context, you may write one less sentence (5 words and 10 sentences, 3 words and 12 sentences, no words and 15 sentences, etc).  You may use "family" words (eg. adaptation, variety, vastness).
However many words you use, you MUST write at least ten sentences.

Here are the Target Words:
ambassador     adapt     biology     census     contact     distinct     
hypothesis     maximum     vary     vast     vehicle     

If your sentences are 100% complete, I will bump you up a level in Fundamentals.
