Animal Reports

Our animal reports have taken us a couple of week to complete but now that they are done they are very cool! The students first had to choose an animal that they wanted to learn more about and then we went to the computer lab and printed out pictures of that animal. Here IH and SY are looking at google images of great white sharks. The students chose 6 pictures to print out for their book.



Once the students had their pictures they cut them out to fit their pages and glued 1 picture on to each page of the book. AC and KC are working together.

WH chose to do his report on the gray wolf. He found a lot of neat pictures for his book.

CF chose the spotted leopard and here she is showing the cover of her book without the title on it yet.

Once the students had their picture in the books, the hard part began. I printed out information on their animals and they had to read and find the answers to questions like what their animal looked like, what they ate, where they could be found, what enemies they had and how they defended themselves.

Once the students had answered all their questions they began to write sentences into their books that told all about their animals. In this picture TT is using her information to write a page on pugs.

In this picture KW is writing a page about how cheetahs hunt for food.

As the students completed their books, I took a few pictures of them. HS, PB and KC are showing off their books. They did a great job!

TVN chose the horned lizard, CG chose the appaloosa horse and CK chose the liger which is a combination of tiger and lion. The students shared their books when we were all done and you will be seeing them in a class book sometime after Christmas.
