每週 1-2 小時. 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 our Ocean Creatures 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 model using appropriate materials like aquarium-safe rocks, sand, water, and artificial or live aquatic elements to accurately depict an ocean habitat. The students can get as complex or as simple as desired. The project is not designed to be costly. Students can draw/paint/build their habitat. Each week, based on the ocean creature we have learned, the student would then add that creature into their habitat. Students will present their final project during week 12 for final review.評估

其他詳情
供應清單
Students will create their own version of an ocean habitat. One option is to create a 3D model of the ocean system. 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 ocean creatures 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 an ocean habitat is to create an art notebook habitat and label key facts about creature. In addition, for the FlipBook Project, you will need a notebook or binder and paper, along with minimal art supplies.
