The Shark

            
You are swimming along, very peacefully when all of the sudden your 
territory is being invaded by people.  Those smelly people who taste 
terrible to you.  Rarely have you ever taken a bite, and when you do, you 
immediately spit them out.  Something has gone terribly wrong.  All kinds of 
boats are in the area and you have a feeling they are looking for you.  
Perhaps you had better review where sharks have their habitats in case you 
need to move.  Be sure and rediscover your senses because you will need them 
for survival now more than ever.  Don't forget what you normally eat in case 
you have to pick up some to go food.  All this activity is from some surfer 
who couldn't keep his balance on the board.  Make sure you document the 
information you find as you refresh your memory, and be sure to draw a 
picture of either yourself, or a relative and label all relevant parts of 
the anatomy.  Your sources should be listed after you write in your diary 
for the day.  Let everyone know how you feel and what you find out by 
sharing in school.

Victim's Statement from Newspaper:

Statement that made the headline,"SHARK ATTACK" appear:

Read the following account given by the victim:

"I was swimming for fun and all of a sudden, it hit me from behind.  NO, I 
did not loose any flesh, but whatever it was, it was huge!  I swam as fast 
as I could back to my surfboard and paddled quickly to shore.  No, I did not 
see his dorsal fin, but that don't mean nothing!  It was a shark I tell you, 
a GREAT WHITE SHARK that nearly ate me up!  You have to do something 'bout 
that shark a'for he eats somebody else."
