Pretend that you have sighted Ogopogo while you were suntanning on Hot Sands Beach in Kelowna. Use your imagination to brainstorm a list of descriptive details of the creature. Then using felt pens and a large sheet of paper, make a sketch of your Ogopogo. Artistic talent is not required. This is a fun activity! Share your work with other students by posting your sketch on the classroom wall.
