As part of our Report Writing Unit, the Grade 3's will be writing a report on a plant that they choose in class. As researchers, they will use the internet and books to collect information on a graphic organizer. Next, they will write their reports using text features like a title page, headings, labelled diagrams and a Table of Contents. Finally they will turn their reports into google slide presentations that they will share with the class.
The headings that will be used for this project are: Description, Habitat, Enemies and WOW Facts. The students will also create a labelled diagram of their plants and show the life cycle.
