Project Description

During this nine-week project, students researched animals, organized their information, and presented the information to the class and family members. Using computer software, the students created three final products: reports, slide shows, and brochures. The students created these products by carefully selecting information that was appropriate for each purpose. The use of technology enabled all students to participate in every aspect of the project.
