Researching Rain Forest Animals

In preparation for the end of the year students are refining their research skills. We have been researching the animals that live in the rainforest to better understand the importance of protecting it. Students are working in pairs to research a rainforest animal of their choice. They recorded their new learning in their research notebooks so they could later create a PowerPoint presentation. Students were then instructed to present their new learning through a PowerPoint for the class. They really enjoyed this project, and it's preparing us for our last writing sample of the year that we will type for our portfolio.
