Rainforest

Great Websites for student research: [|Enchanted Learning] [|Rainforest Animals] [|Rainforest Plants]

[|Listen to Mrs. Katz's class read their original Rainforest stories.] Students wrote their own books about a Rainforest animal, illustrated the story using the Picturing Writing techniques, and thenrecorded their readings in Audacity.

Instructions to Picturing Writing I tried this project with my class and here are some additional tips to keep in mind (email me if you have any questions, Iris Praid)
 * Make sure you use a template in Word
 * Have students save their work in the share drive

Here's a [|great video] at United Streaming on the rainforest. It shows the habitat, it's very appropriate for 3rd graders and it's only 15 minutes long. You will have to sign in when you get to United Streaming, but then this link will take you directly to that video.

PowerPoint Jeopardy quiz. Here's the template, change the Q/A to fit your needs.



Here's a Smart Board lesson created as a review of the Rainforest.
