Ocean Animal Research

The students went to the library in small groups to research with our librarian, Mrs. Jepsen. Each group had a different ocean animal to research. After researching and taking notes, the students turned their notes into sentences using sentence stems which they then used to write a research paper. The students made ocean report covers for their research papers. They also created a scuba diver face to go with their scuba diver which holds and displays their great writing.

  1. I love the scuba divers. My kids did a report on ocean animals too. Do you have a pattern for the scuba diver?

  2. I don't have a pattern for the scuba divers. Our former librarian drew a pattern and we just traced them. We make them without the heads (just the black body suit) and the students make the faces.
