1-2 hours per week. Students will write a summary paragraph towards the end of class about what they learned in class. This course is designed to learn some key things about wild animals and how to write an effective summary paragraph. This will help the students to practice their summary writing. These summaries will be added into the FlipBook Final Project. Students can take a picture of their page weekly and submit for review. In addition, students carefully construct a habitat or diorama to accurately depict a farm habitat. The students can get as complex or as simple as desired. The project is not designed to be costly. Students can draw/paint/construct their habitat. Each week, based on the wild animal we have learned, the student would then add that farm animal into their habitat. Students will present their final project during week 12 for final review.Assessment

Parental Guidance
If a student chooses to "build" their habitat, they may their habitat with cardboard box and, therefore, may use glue/hot glue.
Supply List
One option is to create a 3D model of the wild kingdom. The students can use materials in the home. I do not want students to have to worry about costs of supplies. Some ideas to make wild animals include: paper, recycled materials, material, styrofoam, foil, etc. In addition, paint, crayons, or markers will be needed to decorate the ocean habitat. The students have as much or as little creativity they want to work with. The other option that does not involve a cost for a wild kingdom habitat is to create an art notebook habitat and label key facts about each farm animal. In addition, for the FlipBook Project, you will need a notebook or binder and paper, along with minimal art supplies.
