Process
Step 1: With your partner, decide which two endangered animals you are going to research, report on and present to the class in the form of a television newsflash. Below are four sites to help you gather information and pictures of some endangered animals.
Lots More Animal Info and Images
Step 2: As resources, you may use: |
a) the textbook, Les Animaux en Danger |
| b) a dictionary | |
| c) your notebook, including the notes that you have on the present tense of the verb "etre", "er" verbs, including "manger", "sauver" and "proteger", colour chart (masculine and feminine forms), adjective list, map of the world indicating the continents, animal classification chart (herbivore, carnivore, omnivore, etc.), and vocabulary list. |
Step 3: Write at least ten sentences describing the animal that you have chosen, using some adjectives and colours, classifying the animal according to what it eats, telling what it eats, and on which continent it lives. You may wish to add some facts about the animal, such as: height, weight, length, family life, etc.
Step 4: Once you have composed five of your ten sentences, please have them edited by the teacher before you continue. This will ensure that you are on the right track. Once this has been done, go on to complete the rest of your sentences. Please have them edited by the teacher as well before moving on to the next step.
Step 5: After you have had all your sentences edited by the teacher, you are ready to write up your report in good.
Step 6: In your written report, please include pictures of the endangered species. These may be used in your television newsflash as well. Go back to Step 1 for some sites with awesome images to print!
Step 7: When you are ready to submit your written report, please include both rough copies edited by the teacher and your final copies including pictures of the two endangered species.
Step 8: Two days after you receive your written reports back, you and your partner must be prepared to do an oral class presention on your two endangered species in the form of a television newsflash entitled Tele-Animonde. Be creative in the delivery of your information! Remember, you are television reporters!
