An Extraordinary Plant

Review “The Unusual Venus Flytrap,” “The Corpse Flower,” and “Against All Odds: Earth’s Fragile Pioneers” from your Ready Common Core books. Think about which plant you consider to be the most extraordinary.  What does it mean to be extraordinary? Which plant was most remarkable and why?

Write an argument to support your opinion.  Remember to include relevant evidence from the passages to support your argument and to organize your reasons clearly. 

Write your paragraph(s) in Google Docs.  After you have reread and edited it, please paste your response as a comment to this post.
