What educators are saying
Description
Our Animal Research Project can be used with ANY animal (like an All About All About Penguins or All About Polar Bears). It's a GREAT VALUE because you can reuse it for arctic animals in polar habitats or hibernating animals in winter or butterflies in the spring.
The graphic organizers, scaffolded guided notes and scoring rubric make it easy for you to teach research writing based on any animal. The differentiated pages make it perfect for 2nd grade, 3rd grade, 4th grade or 5th grade students.
Best of all...since it was designed to be used to learn about any animal, you can use it over and over throughout the year! Having your students repeat it with different animals is an amazing way to document and monitor student writing progress throughout the year.
The guided pages and scaffolded design make this resource great for independent work packets or to use as emergency sub plans. Give your fast finishers an engaging and meaningful ongoing project to focus on when they've completed their work. You''ll have everything your need for animal research reports as well as a variety of graphic organizers and other activities.
