Title: ANIMAL ZOO RESEARCH PROJECT- Grade 1

Student Target: Students will select an animal to research
Students will use different types of reference materials, books, magazines and iPads
Students will create and record a page for class ebook
Students will present information and ebook at an Animal Zoo

Materials: Animal books on grade level, video camera, iPads and computer, PAGES app, animal research information graphic organizer sheet, paper, crayons, zoo decorations

Warm-Up: Share an interesting fact about an animal. For example, "chameleons can rotate their eyes in a complete circle. " Share both a fiction and a nonfiction book about animals and discuss with students which one we would use to find facts on our animal. Elicit that we would use nonfiction books, as well as magazines, and the internet to find facts.

Review: Review with students the needs of people and animals (food, water, home), their characteristics, their groups (mammals, amphibians, etc.). Have students think about all the animals and discuss how and what we will use to research.

Vocabulary:
Habitat, characteristics, mammal, amphibian, reptile,

Lesson/ Activity:
The plan is designed as a multiple lesson collaborate unit with first grade. Students will research animal facts and go through the WRITING process to create drafts, edit and finalize their products to create a class ebook.

The library/media specialist and staff will act as facilitators throughout this project by exposing the students to electronic sources of information and participating in the creation of an eBook. The classroom teacher will also participate in this activity by making connections with what they have already learned about animals in class and new resources in the LMC.

  • Assign each student an animal and distribute and discuss the graphic organizer they will use to gather their facts.
  • Have students research their animal using books and the iPad to access internet sources.
  • Continue to work with students to have them complete their animal info sheets.
  • Have students create a picture of their animal
  • Using the PAGES app on the iPad students will create their individual written page for their animal
  • Video students holding their animal picture and speaking the facts
  • Media Specialist/Teacher compiles individual student pages into one class "Animal Zoo" book.
  • Media Specialist/Teacher inserts individual student video into the ebook.
Follow Up: Our Animal Zoo became a museum with the students dressed in costume, the media tables turned upside down became the cages and each student displayed his/her iPad page with video as a info. box in their cage. We invited other classes and parents. The final activity was to present the ebook and have the students sing several animal songs that the music teacher had taught in collaboration.

Daily Assessment:

Check out the link below to see a movie trailer of our Animal Zoo Culminating Event. The 1st gr. students researched animals, wrote their animal facts, drew a picture of their animal, videotaped themselves reading their animal facts and then created their own page for our eBook! Our culminating activity was the animal zoo... the media center tables became cages and the invited guests and classes came to view their facts on the ipads and see the premier of our eBook titled "Animal Zoo." We feed the animals, what else but animal crackers! It was a huge success... students commented "this is the best school day ever." They are pleading to come again and make another ebook..
