Sergeant Billy

Last week we read the story "Sergeant Billy" and began gathering information on what other animals were used in War.

  • After listening to the story, check out this link to see other war animals.

  • When you are finished, record point form notes on What animals, When, Where, and What they were used for.

  • We will be presenting our findings on ONE animal as a PPT, poster or report.
