Develop basic computer technology skills to write a science report. Search electronic data bases for science report information. Pass out copies of report outlines to students. Have students put the outlines in their three-pronged notebook. Tell students that for the next six weeks they will be doing research on endangered animals in order to write a 1-2 page report.
Students choose an endangered animal from their Internet search as the subject of their report.
Students use on-line animal sites to print information on their animal. Students place their animal information in their three-pronged notebook. Pace students so that they complete only one subsection of the outline at a time. Once students are done typing their animal report on-line, have them save their work on a disk. Allow students who have completed the typed portion of their animal report to search the Internet for an image of their animal.
