1) Choose two of the creatures that live in the Mariana Trench. Research what they are, how they survive in that environment, their size, how long they live and a few interesting facts about your creature.

2) After completing your research, I want you to write a bio on each creature using the facts/information you obtained through your research. Complete this bio on a microsoft word document.

3) Create your own creature that lives in the Mariana Trench:

- Draw a picture of your creature

-Write a bio about your creature

-In the bio, tell me what your creature is, how it survives in the environment, how big it is, how long it lives and a few interesting facts about your creature

4) When finished writing a bio for each and completing your drawing, find a partner and create a second drawing. this drawing should have each creature that you created in the scene. On the bottom (or on the back), tell me how the two creatures interact with each other. Are they predators, do they work together to find food, are they enemies? Be creative!

5) If you finish early, create a second creature for extra credit.
