• Creating the graphic organizers using Pages
• Gathering and recording information without paper/pencil
• Preparing their document using Pages
• Presenting through iBook

Ask Questions

• Determine where you can locate possible answers to our questions

Gather Information

• Search for information using a variety of resources (videos, podcasts, apps, iTunesU, websites)
• Record relevant information (correct spelling!)
• Cite where you gathered the information from

Organize Information

• Determine which research questions you've answered
• Determine which questions remain...can you locate additional information somewhere else?

Prepare and Produce

• Create a class iBook to be published in the iTunes library that most families have at home

• Each research group will produce a one page document using Pages to be included in the class book.
• The document must include information from the following areas: physical characteristics, habitat, and survival.

Present
