This activity teaches imaginative specificity. The questions force the student past easy answers. “It eats meat” is not enough. What kind, how often, who cooks it. The belief question is the most important one. Asking what an imaginary creature believes in pushes the student into character development. Students who say “nothing” should be sent back to the question. Everyone believes in something, even a dinosaur. The final paragraph turns the answers into prose. The introduction format gives the student an audience to write toward.
