The teacher will lead a discussion about the different animals, plants and indegenous people that make the rainforest their home.

Researching Online for the Term Paper Project

Part One—choose topic and research questions-assigned in English class about 10 school days prior to beginning this lesson computer class, completed as homework, and brought to the computer lab for the rest of the assignment. Activities include interactive whiteboard lesson, Internet search, adding data to tables I provided printing relevant research. Students will use this research as part of a larger unit on writing the research paper in English. Because logging into the public library databases requires a card number, I include in a letter to parents at the beginning of the year that students are required to have a valid library card. Library cards are free.
