4. This week we begin a non-fiction project on wolves in eastern Oregon to end 1st quarter.
Here’s our big question: “What is the right number of wolves for eastern Oregon?”
Over the next three weeks, we will
take notes on and write about an OPB wolf video;
use the computer lab to research pro and con journal and newspaper articles about wolves; and write summaries of those articles;
collaborate in small groups to put data about wolves onto a map of eastern Oregon;
invite a wildlife professional into the classroom to tell us about wolves; and we will develop questions for that interview;
write a two page double spaced persuasive essay taking a pro or con position on our question, and backing up our position with evidence.
