Get ready to embark on an exciting journey into the wild world of animals! Welcome to Animal Explorers: An Adventure in Research and Writing, where we will dive into the fascinating realm of the animal kingdom together. Over the course of four weeks, we will not only learn about the incredible diversity of creatures that share our planet, but also unleash our inner researchers and writers. We will meet twice a week to explore, research, and write about our favorite animals. We will guide the students through the research and writing process step by step. By the end of the four weeks together, students will have crafted an animal report. From the depths of the oceans to the highest treetops, every corner of the Earth is a habitat for a unique and extraordinary creature, and we're about to become experts on them!
