Animal Research Continued

As we begin to publish our animal research, I would like to introduce you to a new online publishing program called "Smore".  It is a free program that allows students to publish their thoughts in digital flyer format.  The site allows you to include images, video, hyperlinks and text in an organized and attractive manner.  As a class, we will walk through the account sign-up and template creation.  Attached is the template for this animal research project.  Animal Research Project Template

We will build our templates, navigate the tools and explore the Smore site together.  The template contains a guide for information gathering.  Your project may look slightly different according to the information available and your own interest.  Feel free to customize the project (colors, font, backgrounds, images, etc.).  However, please include as much of the original information as you can for each section.  This information will help you when we publish the fictional portion of this project. More information on that to follow.

This Animal Research Project is due by Monday, September 29th.
The fictional origin story is due by Friday, October 3rd. (more to come).

You will be given time during language arts in class to complete this assignment.
If you have any questions... please ask.

Good luck and have fun with it!
