There are over 300 types of sharks in the world. Working in groups of four, you are going to find information on 5 types of sharks. With the information you find, your group will make a diorama illustrating where one of the sharks you researched lives. You will also make a story about the shark you chose.
Each member will be responsible for one part of the assignment, but everyone helps with every part of the assignment.
Descriptions - Everyone finds information and one member writes the descriptions of 5 sharks.
Habitat - Everyone finds information and one member writes about the habitats of the 5 sharks.
Diorama - Everyone provides ideas and helps create a diorama of the habitat of one shark that you have researched. One person in your group is responsible for making sure that it accurately shows the sharks habitat.
Story - One member writes a story but everyone gives ideas for the story.
To begin this assignment, go to the Finding Information pages for further directions. Also, review the grading rubric often to be sure you cover everything that you need. When you are finished, evaluate your group's project and give it a score based on the rubric.
