Performance Task:
|
|
|
The focus of this activity will be to develop a
class multimedia presentation. Students will research information about an
animal using electronic encyclopedias. They must find out where the animal
lives, what it eats, how it moves, and if it lives alone or travels in a
group. Using a computer drawing program, students will draw their animal
and its habitat. The picture must include all the important elements for
the animal to survive. Students will add electronic sounds by making their
animal picture into a "button." When clicked onto by the mouse,
the "button" will generate a realistic sound for the animal. Students will visit and learn about each
other's projects at the conclusion of this unit.
