The tree is very large, the branches are very thick, also it looks like plants that are stuck on a tree. Also it looks like a tropical tree that is on all nice sandy beaches but in a smaller verson too. West13

what i see is a nice looking tree with green leaves or and a light brown trunks. This tree looks like it has like 12 trees in one, with a bush or a plant on top. These kind of trees you would see in the summer time and spring. It looks like there is a bush on top of a tree. they really are not leaves they look more like a plant or a bush. This odd tree you could probably see in like California, they have trees that look somewhat like this odd tree. This tree reminds me of the man off of tv that has trees for arms. this tree is like a tree but with a bush in top of it.

Motag, West, East, and Laira: Each of you have added a unique perspective in the looks and the connections each of made to this tree picture. East's ideas suggest that the tree is fake with pasted ground plants attached like a hair transplant! Motag found a face: is it a wizard or someone trapped? What a story that would make. In addition, Motag found history and legend in this tree ("pocahontis and madoca with her snakes sticking out of her head."). West envisioned a this tree on a "nice, sandy beach." I connected this to both East (tropical) and Laira (California), thinking that perhaps the wind off the ocean or lake might affect the placement of the leaves. What do you think? Finally, Laira describes the tree carefully with details (green leaves, light brown, 12 trees in one, bush/plant on top). I laughed visually the "trees for arms" image. Taking the time to observe and connects helps us add details to our writing. Thanks.

you have a cool story

Landa has a unique view on some one named Harry -- or did you mean "hairy"? Rojo and Landa must have been hungry because they compared the tree to food (simile "like big hot dogs" and "potatoes".) Landa also knows something about floods and trees. Could you explain that a little more? Rislaw things climbing the tree would be fun -- and that he compared it to a squid! Unique! Stenda sees interesting images: porcupine and two eyes! That would make a great story! Ellen knows about palm plants and gave us the fact: 16 trees in one. Alper thought of porcupines, too, and invented part of a story: "people together back to back with spiky hair and all of there hands are tide behind." Very interesting. Cook sees a Lord of the Rings creature I think -- grass, legs, mutation. I wonder if it comes alive? Students, you have added some excellent ideas. Do you think you observed as many details as you could have?
