Animal Research Reports!!

In my classroom, my students chose books from the library to research their favorite animals. (I had my students work with partners, so they could help each other look up the different facts)

I noticed that some of the books they chose were difficult for them to read, so I created my own informational texts based on the animals they chose.


When my students were reading their informational texts together, I encouraged them to underline and take notes of important information. For this, I created a graphic organizers that they could fill out. 

My students then used the notes they wrote to create their animal reports. For their reports they created a book, writing about what their animal eats, what they look like, what their babies are like, and where they live. 

 

My students had so much fun making their Animal Research Reports together, and they really enjoyed sharing their reports with one another and learning about new animals. I can't wait to do this again next year :)
