1. You are just the crew to do it!

2. First… What animals will we try to save? We must research to find out about different types of endangered animals. Second… How will we inform others about our chosen animals? We must create a written product to present the information we have discovered through research. Third… What will you do with the donated land? What kind of end product will you create? We must create an end product conveying what you will do with the land and how you will inspire others.

4. Create a KWL chart with your partner about the animal you have chosen to research. What we KNOWWhat we WANT to know What we LEARNED (completed later)

5. Topics to research Physical characteristics of the animal Typical size, color, abilities (such as jumping, swimming, etc.) Lifespan Habitat Diet Threats (enemies) Cause of endangerment Steps being taken to protect the animal ** Your own knowledge, though valuable, is not enough in research. You must prove the facts about your animal by citing your sources. You Must use the MLA format for this. Points will be deducted for not recording your citations using this format. **
