Animal Report Notes (not including introduction and conclusion)

 

These are just notes! They do not need to be complete sentences but they should be useful details that you’ll use in your rough draft. Each section will later become a paragraph.

ENDANGERED ANIMAL REPORT GUIDELINES

 

Animal reports and projects are due Friday, November 13th.

 

The main report (look at #3 below) will be done in class. We will begin by taking notes and writing rough drafts. Then, we will type the final draft on the computer. Students will be asked to type the remainder of the report (and anything they didn’t finish) at home.

 

There will be no homework the week of the 13th to allow for time to complete the project. You may use this time to do more work on your final draft if necessary. Some ideas for projects or “Special Additions” are listed on the other side of this page. Some research sites are listed and can also be found on my blog.

 

Below are the requirements for your animal report:

 

  1. Report cover – It should include your name, date, room number, teacher’s name, name of animal, and a student-drawn illustration of the animal.
  2. Table of Contents – List the sections of your report and the page numbers in which you would find them.
  3. Main Report – There should be a total of 6 paragraphs
    • Introduction
    • Description
    • Environment
    • Eating habits
    • Endangerment
    • Conclusion

 

  1. Illustration of one of your animal’s food chains, with consumer levels labeled.
  2. Bibliography of your sources.

 

 

  1. Animal project or “Special Addition”.
  2. Presentation where you will give a brief presentation to the class on your report and your project.
