animal reports
By jjj

We do animal reports using colored index cards for our notes. I assign each color a topic for the report. Each notecard needs at least 3 facts on it
green--general information--mammal, lifepan
blue--environment,where it live,part of the world;cave, forest
yellow--what it looks like,weight, height
white-- # of babies;length of gestation
pink--what it eats,diet, baby's diet
orange--how it hunts or defends itself

The notecards have just phrases on it then we use them to write in complete sentences for our rough draft. I edit with student and rewrite to make the final draft
