Andy, I really like how your blog looks. your layout is not and simple and therefore the information is even clearer. I think that in your debate you make great points. I also like your creativity on your creature. I did not see anything that was negative so very good!
ReplyDeleteI have to say Andy that is one interesting creature. I like the creative designs you used besides construction paper such as foil, toothpicks, straws, and his rolled up pipe-cleaners. The use of the toothpick legs, pipe-cleaner eyes, foiled belt and straw eyes brought out some interesting traits in his genes.
