Yesterday, we began our animal research projects. We discussed the importance of visiting trustworthy websites to collect information. For this project, our primary source will be Pebble Go. This website is available through the Online Reference Center at LearnAlberta.ca. It breaks information into the sections: body, habitat, food, life cycle and fun facts, and has the option of listening to text.
As a class, we practiced listening to/reading information on butterflies. We learned not to plagiarize, and instead to pick out a few key words from each sentence. We wrote the key words on a graphic organizer, like the one below.
These skills will be helpful as we research our independently chosen animal. Starting tomorrow, we will use the iPads during L.A. stations to access Pebble Go and fill out our graphic organizers.
