STATION A – ACTIVITY 1: “Write a poem or rap (20 lines or more) about the novel

An accident occurs, late at night

The Animorphs form, such a disturbing sight

The aliens arrive, at the dawn of light,

A kid named Tobias, will help the Animorphs fight,

Aliens attack, from left to right, 

Secretly without getting a sight

Tobias makes a mistake, he will still fight!

Tobias senses danger, a UFO is in sight!

Tobias tries to chase it, but yet it’s faster than his flight,

Sadly for Tobias, he misses the sight!

Tobias is sad, it’s alright.

He sees one of his friends, form back to a girl, truly a horrifying sight,

Tobias thrives, he wants another SIGHT!

Tobias is mad, he wants to fight,

The UFO is spotted once, will Tobias get another sight?

Tobias haunts the Night

Thriving for another sight

He’s sick and tired of all this stress just for one fight?

They go in a hunt in the dawn of light,

His friends go fast, whilst Tobias just flies.

Will they ever get into a fight?!

 

STATION A – ACTIVITY 2: “Pretend you are interviewing a person from the book. Write your interview in question and answer format. Make sure to include at least 10 questions

 

 

Me: What made you be a part of the Animorphs? Also can you explain yourself?

 

Tobias(Main character of the Book): Oh, from what I remember, I was just walkin’ with my friends, then something happened and I forgot the rest. All I remember is those people I like to call “they” or “them”. I’m the main character of the book “ANIMORPHS The Encounter”.

 

Me: Oh, ok, Fascinating. But also, how did you turn into a Falcon forever?

 

Tobias: Well, long story short, I stayed as a Falcon for more than five hours, remember; “Every blessing has a curse”. And yeah, after I stayed as a Falcon for too long I eventually turned into a Falcon forever, because “they” told us that if we stay in our forms for more than 5 hours, we will stay as that form forever.

 

Me: Interesting indeed. What happened after you saw that UFO? Did you ever catch it?

 

Tobias: The first time I saw it I hesitated for a bit, then tried to chase it, but it was clearly faster than me and after a while of chasing it vanished out of thin air. I was unable to catch it.

 

Me: Oh, what happened after that?

 

Tobias: Oh you know I went back down to my friend’s house and saw her turn back into a human which was … terrifying.

 

Me: Oh, then can you explain how she formed back into a human?

 

Tobias: Ok so firstly she was an Elephant right?

 

Me: Mhm

 

Tobias: Firstly, she made her Elephant foot turn into a hand- it’s too disturbing do you still wanna know?

 

Me: To be honest, I don’t wanna know. What about; Did you guys do teamwork?

 

Tobias: All the time.

 

Me: What about, when you and your friends went hunting, were you able to find the UFO again?

 

Tobias: Oh, I don’t think you readed that part before, read that part before you ask me.                                               

 

Me: Oh… ok.

 

Tobias: Any more questions?

 

Me: Hmm.. let me think. Ah! What about whenever you turn into an animal?

 

Tobias: Well, when I wasn’t cursed, it was horrifying every time I had to form back to human. Trust me, you wouldn’t like this power, but if you get used to it, you can probably not get traumatised, and I mean probably.

 

Me: Very interesting, last question: “How was your life before you had these powers”?

 

Tobias: Well, I was living an average life just like everyone else as a kid.

 

Me: Oh! Well, thank you for your cooperation in this interview, God Bless you!

 

Tobias: Well, it was lovely talking to you. I really thank you for inviting me to this interview.

Me: amazing!!
