eBook project

Right now, our sixth grade science class is starting a new project tied to the unit of animal behavior, and it will be very fun to do independently and as a group. All sixth graders have had to blindly pick a popsicle stick, which has a different animal name on it, including the coati, koala, and rattlesnake. If we did not show any interest in our animal, we got to trade with other classmates, or choose from a different pile of popsicle sticks that had not been picked. The animal that I picked was the coati, a small raccoon shaped animal found all over South America. If you didn’t know, ring tailed coatis are very quick tree climbers and even build their nests in trees. Being able to climb trees quickly is helpful when evading a predator, or trying to catch prey, or build shelter. Every sixth grader has recently been researching facts about their animal, specifically facts that answer different questions on a blue sheet that Lisa gave out as a guideline on Monday. We have started taking notes on our animals, and are beginning to form the base of each page of our ebook. By the end of the project after lots of research and trial and error, we want to have created a thorough ebook on the iPad. This project should be interesting, full of hard work, and fun! If you have any questions, feel free to comment below. (By Aidan)
