Imagine That Your Principal Asks You to Do a Special Job and Gives You These Written Directions

The Aquarium

Imagine that your principal asks you to do a special job and gives you these written directions:

Your class will be getting a 30-gallon aquarium. The class will have $25.00 to spend on fish. You will plan which fish to buy. Use the Choosing Fish for Your Aquarium brochure to help you choose the fish. The brochure tells you things you must know about the size of the fish, how much they cost and their special needs.

Choose as many different kinds of fish as you can. Then write a letter to your principal explaining which fish you have chosen. In your letter, please include: 1. How many of each kind of fish to buy 2. The reasons you chose those fish 3. Show the work that proves that you are not overspending. 4. Show the work that proves that the fish will not be too crowded in the aquarium

When writing your letter, remember to check your spelling and grammar.

You will work in groups to decide which types of fish to purchase, ONLY. Each person must write a letter. Every letter should look different!!!
