The Endangered

This spring, via remote learning, students chose one of eight animals from either the African rainforest or savanna to research. This research had many components! Students learned about animal adaptations; they learned about how to read information texts; they read a lot about their animal; they experimented with different writing styles for information texts; they learned to draw by looking for shapes; they learned how scientists observe animals and record their findings in both field notes and ethograms; they practiced observing human and non-human animals, including the one they were researching; AND they created a movie about their animal! (Overwhelmed? Don't worry! On the following three pages you can see just the diagrams, perspective drawings, and stop motion videos!)
