Research Homework

The kids have chosen an animal or a person in history to research. Please assist your child in gathering facts from books or the internet,  I did come across a couple of great websites with kid friendly articles to help you with gathering information. http://gardenofpraise.com/leaders.htm, http://kids.nationalgeographic.com/kids/animals/creaturefeature/black-rhinoceros/, http://a-z-animals.com/

If they chose an animal, they will be expected to gather the following information:

  • adaptations of the animal
  • habitat
  • what it eats and how it gets its food
  • physical characteristics of the animal
  • Fun facts

If they chose a person in history they will be expected to gather information about the following:

  • birth date and place
  • death/or where and what they are doing now
  • a childhood story
  • hobbies or interests
  • why they are famous
  • challenges/problems the person faced
  • Interesting facts
  • greatest achievement/accomplishment of the person

We will be doing lots of research work in class, but any help you can give your child at home would be wonderful.  Please let me know if you have trouble gathering information, so that I can help them here at school.
