I do a very similar project with my 6th graders only I call them "clay
compounds" since we oviously create them in clay. I started the list on
paper and printed them out and had them brainstorm on the bottom of the
paper. That way I could edit them and compile them to the list. It was
a good lesson since you have to review slab, coil, score and slip,
hollow ware, etc, depending on with compound word they chose. Mine
did't have to be an animal, so I also got ideas such as bedbug,
bookworm, egghead, etc.
