Relationships In the Ocean
Using your knowledge of symbiotic relationships and predator-prey relationships, create a comic strip that shows a day in the life of an organism involved in one of these relationships. The plot of your comic strip should include the following:
- The name of the type of symbiotic relationship or predator-prey relationship in which your organism is involved
- Information about the type of symbiotic relationship or predator-prey relationship in which your organism is involved
- Other characters that demonstrate the type of symbiotic relationship or predator-prey relationship in which your organism is involved
Make sure to show the consequences (good or bad) of the relationship. Your comic should include a least six panels, or individual stages. It should be organized so that a reader can understand the events unfolding in the comic, and any text should be legible and clearly-marked.
