Animal Research Project

Each student has been assigned an animal. For this project, your child will need a 1” 3-ring binder and 5 dividers (with pockets, if possible).  These materials need to be turned in Wednesday, April 6.  This notebook will contain all papers for the duration of this assignment.

 This assignment will mainly be worked on at school.  There may be times when work will be brought home (ie: your child doesn’t use his/her time wisely) or when your child might want to find information or pictures on the internet.  Please remember that this is your child’s assignment.  Each student will find the information on his/her own with our guidance.  We will have every reference book needed in the classroom for all students to use.  The children will be given 45 minutes to an hour every day to work on this project, so they should not be bringing any of this work home for homework. Please use the links at the bottom of this page for finding information and pictures.

 Please remember these dates:

Research and 15 pictures Due:  April 21

Rough Draft and the other 15 pictures Due: May 1

Final Draft and pictures glued to paper with captions Due: May 19

           This project will be counted as a test grade for English and Science.  Please feel free to read over the rough draft and help your child correct final mistakes, but please remember that this needs to reflect what your child is capable of doing.  Let us know if you have any questions.
