Description

What is included in this Penguin Report & Research Unit?

Students will first learn how to use the text features in an informational text including the table of contents and index. They will also learn how to find credible sources on the internet.

Then, students will be assigned a type of penguin (and optionally, a partner or group to work with). Students will have a Penguins Research Journal that they will use as a guide as they research penguins in general as well as their assigned penguins. Editable sections have been added to the research journals so you may add your own questions!

Once students have completed their research, they will use it to complete two culminating activities: a LIFE-SIZE model of their penguin using butcher paper (great for practicing measurement as well), and a written penguin report. Finally, other classes and parents will be invited to the “Penguin Fair” where your students can show off their cool life-size penguin model.

Contents:

  • Teacher Info Pages: This includes a sample unit outline, grading rubric, lesson plans for internet research, intro lesson, research journals, and final projects.
  • Book research/ text features worksheets: Students will review other text features including a glossary, titles, headings, photos, captions, graphs/charts, and special print. They will also compare and contrast the table of contents and index.
  • Internet research worksheets: These worksheets will familiarize your students with how to find credible sources on the internet for research.
  • Penguins Cards Cards with the name and clip art of each type of penguin. You can use these to assign students a penguin to research.
  • Research Journals: The research journals will guide the students throughout their research. There is one question on each page for the students to find the answer to. 19 pre-written pages are included, plus 2 blank ones to add your own questions.
