Work has begun on individual animal projects regarding "Critters" in Arizona. Students earned the opportunity to choose their animal according to how often they have turned in homework and finished class work. Projects are to be finished by Monday, September 24th. We are using the book, "Critters" in class and they are using their computer time to work on their paper here at school. Unfortunately, one of the books I checked out from the Wilmot Library for the group projects was lost, so I will not be getting books for this project.
Each student is responsible for describing the habitat where their animal lives. We are looking for interesting facts, not things everyone already knows about the animal. A one page written report is required, along with notes for an oral presetation. Each report must come with a poster, diorama, clay/playdough model, or puppet. This gives students an opportunity to look at the same project from a variety of learning styles.
I have told them that the written portion must be in their own words, not just a downloaded version from their computer.
Everyone did such a fantastic job on the group animal classification projects, that I am looking forward to seeing their creativity shine. The group project showed them what is expected and that they need to use their time wisely in order to finish on time. Please contact me with any questions you might have on the project.
