ABC of Endangered Species
Students will: choose an endangered species to research that begins with an assigned letter; research the animal’s habits, habitat, and endangered status; create a page for a class ABC book that includes a photograph or artwork of the animal, a brief description of the animal and its habits and habitat, a “fast fact” that shares the most interesting thing they learned about the animal, and an explanation of why the animal is endangered; briefly report to the class the results of their research.
