In today's activity, you must design your own travel case for an egg. Use recycled materials to create a special carrier that will allow you to safely transport an egg with you wherever you go for a whole 24 hour period. Imagine that you travel with your egg around the world.
After you've carried your egg for at least 24 hours, like Horton did, write a story about how it was to take care of a chicken's egg. At the end of your story, make a prediction about what kind of animal you think might come out if your egg were actually to hatch. Think about the experiences your egg has had and the animals your egg has visited. How might that influence your egg? Remember, Horton's bird egg became part elephant!

Your job today is to dream like Morris McGurk did! Design your own circus with all sorts of amazing creatures and tricks. Think about balancing, music-making, twirling and daring. Think about fantasy, feats, and flying. Go wild with your imagination!
Now that you've imagined your circus, draw a plan. Decide what acts you'll have, who will perform, how will your circus tents be arranged. Or write a book like Dr. Seuss did to illustrate your circus.
And after you've designed your circus, build a three-dimensional model of your circus using recycled materials. Build your circus on a platform of cardboard so that it is easy to transport. Think about how quickly the circus can usually be set up and taken down. How will you make your circus easy to set up? What will you call your circus?
