Each bird will take you to a different resource. Record notes in your literacy books while you work through the resources. Once you have gathered your information work together to write a response to the questions that you will record as a group on Flipgrid (just use one chromebook per group). Make sure you answer the questions in detail. You will have up to 1 and a half minutes for your recording.
