Description
This human body resource provides materials for students to create a Human Body Systems Lapbook.
Designed with second through fifth graders in mind, this human body systems resource includes materials for students to use while conducting research about the human body's major systems, as well as materials for the presentation of their final writing piece, in a Human Body Lapbook.
To complete this project, students:
• read nonfiction text resources to research human body systems,
• complete a cut-n-paste concept web to group new information,
• use graphic organizers as prewriting tools to organize their writing,
• write informative text about the human body in five paragraphs, including an introduction paragraph, three body paragraphs, and a concluding paragraph, and
• create a human body lapbook as their final product, showcasing their research notes as well as their final written piece.
This could easily be adapted for use in lower grades, or with less able writers, where the expectation is a single informative paragraph.
Their research AND their final writing piece are creatively presented in a lapbook, with several options for assembly. Photos and clear directions are included.
Take a peek at the preview for a closer look at this product!
