Today, we got the chance to closely observe a maggot with a tail. Maggot is a pre-form of a fly that has a tail along with the body. Its body is somewhat translucent which means that I can see some of its inner organs and tissues but not all the way through its body. It seems as if it does not have eyes and it uses its tail to find and locate the general direction it wants to take. It moves in one direction and it travels very slowly and calmly. Some of the questions I may ask is, "Do they need their tail in order to survive? What do they eat? In what conditions do they need to live in order to survive? How big can they grow?" I found it very interesting how the larvae's body itself was about two centimeters long because the tail was about two centimeters long as well. It would be awesome to be able to see its growth and see the larvae turn into a fly.

Your paragragh was concise
Your paragragh was concise and clear, it went straight to the point and you gave brief but descriptive sentences on what you observed. I enjoyed how you tied everything together at the end.
Larva obervation
Overall really good job! I really liked your inclusion of the questions. But I think if you included a few more descriptive sentences about the larva, like how it moves, it would really help the reader visualize what the larva looked like and allow them to paint their own picture.
