A special section has links and resources just for kids. Introduce the project and familiarize students with the role of domesticated dogs in a community. While viewing the videotape, have the students identify the different jobs that dogs fulfill. After viewing the videotape, or if the tape is not available, discuss the various ways dogs assist people in a community. Conduct a brainstorm with the class and record the responses on chart paper.
Students are to choose an area of canine service they wish to study.
Divide students into groups according to their interest. Students will use online resources, CD-Rom reference resources, books, magazines, encyclopedias, and videos from the library to conduct their research. Pass out Guided Study , in Organizers for Students. Students should begin their research. Have the groups gather research materials from a library and bring the materials into class the following day.
