4. Discuss the photographs with

been absent from
Adirondack skies
for nearly three

Follensby Pond in

project because of its habitat, abundant

Species Unit rushed the birds

Follensby Pond.”
6: “Today, bald eagles
can be seen near many
Adirondack lakes as a

NYSDEC’s Endangered

prior to restoration
efforts, only one pair of
eagles reamined in New
York. As of 2008, more
than 145 pairs of eagles
are thriving.”
What happens next?
- Create “photograph 7:”
- Write a caption explaining why you think this event (the one
you draw) comes next
- How does this picture fits in with the story created by the others

MUST HAVES:
1. A picture that fits in with the larger story from the textbook
2. A caption explaining what is happening
3. A short paragraph on the back explaining why you made the
