Each group of two or three students chose a way to present their information to the class. They worked for several days to decide what information to present and to get ready. We had a poem, a poster, a puppet show, and six plays. They were all a little different, and all enjoyable and informative. It was emphasized that learning occurs when you investigate and collect facts yourself, as well as when you play to teach others.

During the weeks of March 29 and April 4, the students are working in small groups to research an ocean animal, choose the facts they feel it is important to teach to the rest of the class, and design a way in which to present those facts. The expectations are that the students will learn the process of sorting through a lot of information to find the most important facts and also, that they will practice working with others to achieve a goal. In these pictures, they are in the research process. Sites were available to them on chromebooks, and books were also available.
