Let’s use the Top 5 Animals as an example. To fill out the sheet, think about your five favorite animals. Rank them from your favorite (number 1) to your least favorite (number 5).
You can write the names of the animals in the boxes. If you can’t spell them, that’s okay! You can make mistakes and try again. If you want, you can also draw them.
After you finish, give the sheet to your friend or teacher so they can share their answers.
Once you both have your lists, compare them! Are they similar? Are they very different?
