Animal Report
Animal Report is a PDF digital download single printable lesson. It is 15 pages long, and is a step-by-step lesson on how to write an animal report for 3rd to 4th grade or the 8- to 10-year-old child.
The Lesson includes basic instructions on how to write a research report including:
- What to do to research
- How to organize research
- How to write the Opening
- How to write the Body
- How to write to Closing
- What extras to include
- How to edit
- How to type a final draft
It is expected that the student will look up:
- Choose a topic
- Fill out an explanatory worksheet
- Write a rough draft report in essay format
- Draw a picture of the topic animal
- Draw a picture of the topic animal’s home
- Create two graphs
- Edit spelling, capitalization, fragment sentence, and run-on sentences
- Type up a final draft
- Insert picture and graphs into the typed copy
The lesson definitely needs guidance from a parent or teacher as the student is asked to use the internet and library for research, create graphs or tables, scan their drawings and graphs, and type up their final draft.
The purpose of this lesson is to introduce elementary students on how to research and how to organize and complete research writing. It teaches the common essay format that all teachers will require through the college years. It teaches how to edit one’s own writing, and hopefully it teaches a love of learning by providing a research topic that the majority of kids love to learn about: animals.
