Year 9 Project

Learning Aims:

• To find out about animals that have become extinct and the reasons why.

Learning Skills:

• To consider the best way to layout and present your findings to make an interesting document.

You are going to complete a research project on endangered and extinct animals. Use the following hyperlinks to research information which you will present as a project. You work can be presented in either Word or Publisher, but no PowerPoint please!

You need to explore the sites and find out what information is available before starting to type up your research. It is usually alright to drop pictures into your work as long as you acknowledge the website you copied them from, but please do not cut and paste any writing! You can cover as many animals as you wish in your project so do not limit yourself to one.

You will be assessed on the quality of your presentation and quality of the layout of your work, and also on the quality of the information you have found out.
