Those Wacky Chimpanzees

We started the planners for our land animal composition, and I was mentioning to the boys the need to include lots of detail into the final product. Instead of saying something like "the chimpanzee eats apples, grapes, and bananas," they should say something like "the chimpanzee carefully peels a banana and splits it into three pieces before eating it." The boys seemed intrigued at this fact, and when I saw bananas at snack I decided to let them see what I was talking about. I let the two boys doing animals associated with eating bananas try the experiment. My directions lacked some clarity with the first boy, but the second boy had the benefit of seeing the attempts of the first one, and his worked well. As you will see, my directions are a tad ambiguous in this clip when I instruct the student to hold the banana up higher. Watch and you'll see what I mean.
