For this assessment, you will write a short story. In your story, you will pretend that you are traveling in an area and notice different plants, animals, and other species. You can use your imagination and create pretend organisms, or use examples of real organisms. You will use examples that demonstrate each of these types of relationships: predator-prey, commensalism, mutualism, and parasitism. You may not use the same examples given in this lesson. In your story, be sure to compare and contrast the relationships that you observe. Each time you present a new example compare it to a previous example.

How can anyone help you with this? The MOST important thing to do in writing is TO WRITE. Start doing it. Maybe start where you live. Anything there that bothers you? Go somewhere where that bother doesn't exist and see if there is a price to pay - something that bothers you more. Seriously, WRITE! Do NOT worry about spelling or grammar. Do NOT worry about making sense or being consistent. Finished work rarely just pops out of anyone's head. WRITE!
but can you help me start the story off... plz
can we do it together?
Why do you need help with it though? I am not trying to be rude, but it pretty much tells you how to do it and the scenario sooo...
but i need someone to help me at least get started with the first couple sentences.. :) plz
hmm well sorry I am in the middle of a final exam :P hehe so I don't really have the time to help you. Otherwise, I would though :)
ok thx for the offer though :) can @tkhunny help me plz :)

@JackofallTradez
Load up some software. Start typing. ANYTHING. There I was, watching that stupid movie AGAIN... All the chats are dead. Can I possibly venture out into the real world? ANYTHING. Just start. You do not have to know the end from the beginning. Let it twist in your mind.
@JackofallTradez plz help
I would start it out by thinking of different organisms found in a foreign country, and how their predator-prey relationship works out
ok can you help me with that
Take Africa for example. How do their organisms survive? And how do they relate to each other?
ok but can we do the story together plz?
how can we start it off
WRITE something.
You can start it off by researching the questions I posed, and then writing about your discoveries
ok but first lets start with an introduction.. like.. i live on a large island called Unicorn Land.... and then we continue
@JackofallTradez
Or: I am explorer from (native country), and recently we have gone on an expedition to an unknown island. While visiting this island, I noticed a unique variety of flora and fauna. Some unique characteristics I observed were.... That's an idea for an opening
ok i like that...
so let me write that down
what native country do u want to do?
You should do whatever native country you're from. Make it a bit more realistic :P
what native country are you from?
lets do the united states :)
please asnwer???? fast
@Somy
I'm from the United States
me too
so this is what i have so far.....
Lets see it ^_^
Im an explorer from the United states and recently we have gone on an expedition to an unknown island. While visiting this island, I noticed a unique variety of flora and fauna. Some unique characteristics I observed were.. thats it
Weekend Camping Went to a place near forest take a walk see animals describe
so lets continue.. what are some unique characteristics that i observed?
@JackofallTradez
OK, good. Now think of some unique characteristics for your flora and fauna (AKA plants and animals), you could say the thriving plants grew in shady water. You also noticed that there appeared to be an abundance of nutrients in shady water
so like this... Some unique characteristics i saw were thriving plants that grew in shady water. I also noticed that there appeared to be an abundance of nutrients in that shady water. ??
good??
Yes. You could also say based on your observations, that the plants required nutrients to thrive more than sunlight, and possibly had an adaptation
wait, how would i say that??
how do we continue???
this is what i have so far..
I am explorer from the United States and recently we have gone on an expedition to an unknown island. While visiting this island, I noticed a unique variety of plants and animals. Some unique characteristics I observed were thriving plants that grew in shady water. I also noticed that there appeared to be an abundance of nutrients in that shady water.
And then continue with a new sentence: 'Based on my observations, I concluded that the plants required nutrients to thrive more so than sunlight. Then, you could talk about unique animal characteristics
okay, so know lets put unique animal characteristics into some sentences.. so lets do that :)
and also lets have some examples of real organisms or pretend :)
@JackofallTradez
I would go with made up organisms
ok we can do that :) lets start and i need examples that demonstrate each of these types of relationships: predator-prey, commensalism, mutualism, and parasitism.
@JackofallTradez
@JackofallTradez
@JackofallTradez
??
Lets start with the made up organisms... Lets make up like 2 or 3
Seeing as how your on an island, I would go with a small furry rodent munching on some of the water plant's seed pods. Which you then observed a drably colored bird snatch up the rodent and fly off into a tree
ok sounds great.. now how can i put that in sentences
As I was inspecting the water plant, I observed a small furry rodent scamper up to the plant and start to feed on its seedpods. After 15 minutes of feeding, the rodent preceded to scamper off back in the direction it had come from. However, a drably colored bird swooped down and picked up the rodent in its talons and flew off with it
awesome!! now what comes after that?
From my observations, I concluded that the bird preyed on the rodent which feeds on the water plant
OK great.. so was that the made up organisms part of the story?
Yep
ok so know lets do this part...i need examples that demonstrate each of these types of relationships: predator-prey, commensalism, mutualism, and parasitism.
so lets start with some examples for predator-prey :) @JackofallTradez
OK One example of the rodent as a prey animal is that it was hunted by a predator bird. The drab bird is a predator because it preyed on the rodent
ok are you done with the predator- prey examples?
I believe so
ok now lets move on to commensalism examples.. :)
@JackofallTradez
@JackofallTradez
haha this is still going on? :'D
yep!
but we r almost done :) @JackofallTradez
ok so lets move on to commensalism examples :) @JackofallTradez
helloo?? r u there :)
When the rodent eats the seedpods, he is also distributing the seeds around the island. The seeds in its feces has nutrition and new growing locations. In this way, the rodent receives nutrition and the plant can spread it's seeds
ok great! now lets do mutualism examples :)
