Our next and final family project is a research paper and a diorama on an animal of your child's choosing. Last week I went over how to do a research project on an animal. I modeled how to take notes from information and then how to turn that into a research paper that made sense. Going home today is more specific information about what animal your child chose and what the guidelines are for this activity.
Both the paper and the diorama are due Monday, May 9th. The written report is mandatory and the diorama is optional for extra credit. Using information about their animal found in books, magazines, online, etc. students will take notes and write a paper on the sheets included in the packet. The research paper should be presented in a folder with the child's name, animal, and picture of the animal on the front.
Parents will more than likely need to assist their children with this project. However, the work should be done by the child (i.e. in the child's own words, handwriting, diorama work, etc.)
If you have questions please ask! Students will also be presenting their projects to the class on Wednesday, May 11th.
