Proofreading: tapir

Writing Ideas

• Imagine that you are Mandi’s keeper and it is your first trip into the forest alone. Were you excited or frightened? Did you need to jump in a river? What did you think of the rainforest food? Write about your experience.
• Imagine that you are Mandi and you have just met another tapir in the rainforest. Record the conversation that you had, either through pictures and speech bubbles or through direct speech.
• Tapirs don’t just live in South America. They can also be found in Central America and Southeast Asia. Carry out your own research to find out the similarities and differences between tapirs from different parts of the world.
