Six pages that take a student from questions to a finished report. Page 1 is the animal, what I know and what I want to find out. Page 2 holds the facts found, in four groups, and where they came from. Page 3 is a report frame. Page 4 is a checklist to revise and edit with a friend. Pages 5 and 6 are the cover and a page to write the final copy.
Read several books on animals with the class, or give each table a few, and let students choose an animal from them. Model page 2 as you read a page aloud: which group does this fact go in? Finish with a sharing day where each student reads their report.
Visit the library together and borrow a book about your child's animal. Read it with them and help them write facts on page 2 in their own words.
Everything a class needs for a first research report on an animal, from questions to a finished cover. Students write what they know and want to find out, record facts by group and source, write the report and check it.
