1st Grade Ocean Creatures

For the next few weeks, when RBE 1st graders come to the library, they are going to go through the research process to learn about an ocean creature.

We are going to go through the research process by seeing what creatures they can choose from, picking the one they are most interested in, then developing their own open ended questions using this. Students will use library books and the links below to answer their questions and record web resources here and print resources here. After they have their questions, they will use a variety of resources to answer their questions. They will use some books and some online resources.
After they have answered their questions, they will record their learning on this and then create a cinquain poem using the most interesting pieces of their learning. The other product of their learning will be an ebook on Storyjumper.
