Research

We have begun a mini cross curricular research activity!
The students will choose a food that they would like to learn more about (we have developed a list to choose from). They will use an online encyclopedia to gather their information. From here they will take basic jot notes and then form a short paragraph about their food of choice.
Today we developed a number of questions to help guide our research. These questions were student generated. Some examples are: what does it look like? Feel like? Taste like? Smell like? What country does it come from? How does it grow? What food group is it in?
There were a number of other great questions that we decided to lump into a category called "interesting facts."
I am very excited to start this activity! We will cover many grade three expectations from reading, writing, media and health... and have lots  fun in the process!
