Animals' Needs (p. 100)


Step 1. Questions

Pets are a lot like people. They need food, water, and a place to live. They also need someone to take care of them.

Write a story about a girl and her cat. Tell how she takes care of her cat. Here are some questions to think about:
  • What and when do you feed a cat?
  • How do you keep a cat healthy?
  • How do you clean a cat?
Are you ready? Look for answers to the questions. Visit the Web sites in Step 2. Write about what you learn in the boxes.
