This is Part 1 of the Ornithology Research, Draw, and Present (RDP) Series. However learners can take each part in any order as they do not build on each other. No background experience in Ornithology is required for this class. In this course, learners will research different birds and draw and prepare a presentation on one of the birds. Learners can suggest one of the birds to research. Some of the information that learners will research and learn on each bird includes: What is its common and scientific name? Where is it currently found/distribution? What are some of its physical characteristics? Research questions for each bird will be provided via a Google Document to use during class. The class discussion is going to be based on what learner's find during their in-class research.
