Build Your Wild Self

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Get wild with an interactive web site that challenges scholars to create their wildest self. Future wild things begin as an average person—eyes, mouth, clothes—then morph into animal attributes—horns, tails, wings—and end in the desert, ocean, forest, and more!
