Zoo Animals Research And Writing Project!

This standards aligned, differentiated research project is perfect for studying zoo animals. Students can document their learning with writing and pictures as they study, research and observe animals..

 Included in this research creation are graphic organizers and anchor charts, writing activities, labeling activities, and a zoo passport, There are 22 different animals included. Each animal contains the same activities: KWL/Schema charts, can/have/ need charts, look/live/eat charts, fact writing pages, a writing page and labeling. All chart labels and recording sheets are included. 

You or your class can choose which animal to research. Or you can assign an animal to a student or group of student.
