We're going to the zoo zoo zoo, how about you you you?

I used to do an in-class activity in my Interpersonal Communication class that had students describe themselves as an animal. For some the answer came easy and for others, not. Today my friend and I decided to go to the Minnesota Zoo in Apple Valley. What a great idea for converting an in class activity to an online learning object.

The goal is to take pictures of various animals that can be shown. Students will first be asked to identify what traits they as assign to each animal. Once they've done this individually, they can compare their answers to their groupmates. Finally, they will be asked to pick an animal (one pictured or another of their choice) that they think best fits them (justifying their answer of course).

So we're going to the zoo zoo zoo, how about you you you?
