WebQuest Birds of Prey by Leslie Dauer

Introduction Your design team has been requested to create a Birds of Prey advertising campaign for an upcoming environmental program at your school. You and your team have been requested to do research for the program birds and share with your peers your research on the birds of prey that may be in the program. You are very excited because you will have the opportunity to meet some of the birds your design team is researching.

Task As a member of a design team you will work with a partner to get ready for the Birds of Prey program. Each team will research a bird and/or type of bird using the research chart. Then each team will make a poster or PowerPoint presentation and a poem or a rap about your bird that you will share with your peers.

Process 1.Your teacher will assign you to a design team. 2.Each student or team will pick a bird to research using the research chart and rubric for feedback. 3.Each team will create a advertising poster or PowerPoint presentation with the following information: Photo and/or drawing of the bird, traits, habitat, diet, and 3 other facts. 4.On your project you will list the date, time, and location of the event. 5.You will present your projects to your peers and display at the event.

Evaluation Each team will receive feedback for their research chart. Each student will receive feedback based on their participation in their team projects. See Rubric for requirements.
