The left side shows an informational passage with sections on Southeast Asia and Australia, along with a flashcard image labeled ‘Indian Stick Insect (Carausius morosus).’ The right side displays Question 10: ‘Create Your Own Stick Insect,’ with directions for students to draw and describe an imaginary stick insect. Below the instructions is a graphic organizer with a box for ‘Name of Insect,’ a large drawing area, and two smaller boxes labeled ‘Region & Habitat’ and ‘Special Adaptations.’
