Describe Clementine's challenge and how she overcomes it.
Clementine's challenge is trying to find her talent. She does not have a talent to perform in the talent show. She realizes not all talents are performed on a stage. She overcomes her challenge by realizing she has a talent for organization and management. She uses her talent to help the talent show performers and Principal Rice.
Which animal and its way of adapting to its environment did you find the most interesting? Why?
I found the desert iguanas to be the most interesting. First, desert iguanas can change colors to adapt to the heat and cold and not a lot of animals can do that. Second, I did not know that by turning white, they can reflect the sunlight. If I wear white clothes, I can probably reflect the sunlight and stay cooler too.
