Overview: Students work in teams of three to investigate
animals that are at risk of becoming extinct. Assuming the roles
of Zoologist, World Wildlife Representative, and Nature Author/Illustrator,
students use information from their research to create a picture
book or newspaper for second graders about endangered animals. Teams
present their projects to another class.
Members of each team also must develop an activity related to helping
endangered animals that they can do with a class of younger students.
Students then review all the ideas and select one activity to complete
with the younger students.
Notes: The Teacher
Tips section indicates that although this WebQuest was developed
