Students are selecting an animal, researching and writing about their animal, and designing a poster board to aid them in their presentation. The presentation should tell about where their animal lives, what their animal eats, what their animal looks like, the life cycle of the animal, and what is special about this animal. Students may write their report notes on index cards to help them remember the important facts about their animal during their presentation.
