Create and present a report on one of the Aquatic Fish Foods

NB: This project may be altered to suit the wishes and style of the teacher. The focus here is an oral report with visual backup presented by groups. You may want to have a final written report as well or instead.

Objectives:

1. The student will be able to find information under the various categories presented in the "Aquatic Fish Foods" section of www.kidfish.bc.ca
2. The student will be able to create notes on the key information that has been presented about a "critter" in the "Aquatic Fish Foods" section of www.kidfish.bc.ca
3. The student will be able to orally present this information using cue cards and utilizing the visual back up that has been created.

Materials Needed:

• Computers
• Aquatic Fish Foods Worksheet #S-1 (Oral Report Project)
• Bristol Board, pencil crayons, felt markers

Activity:

Divide the students into groups. Since there are eight "critters" written about in the "Aquatic Fish Foods" section, it would be ideal to have eight groups. Try to create heterogeneous groups with the writing, artistic and oral abilities distributed as evenly as possible.

Hand out the "Aquatic Fish Foods Worksheet #S-1" (you may want to alter the guidelines presented on this sheet to suit yourself). Go over the worksheet with the students so they fully understand what is expected of them.

Each group will be responsible to print a copy of the information they need from the Aquatic fish Foods section. Each group can then proceed as directed on the worksheet.

Set a date as to when the reports will start being presented.
