Webquest: An African Safari Adventure
Task
Your final goal at the end of this unit is not only to become an expert on the animal you choose, but to prove you are an expert. To do this you will work with the others who selected the same animal as you to create a presentation on your animal. Your presentation should include:
- A description of your animal (color(s), size, life-span, fur/hide, special features that make it unique, etc.)
- The animal's claim to fame. What makes your animal different from any other animal?
- Family life of the animal. Does it take care of its young? Does your animal live in groups? What is the group called? Is there a leader?
- Adaptations (what are special features or abilities your animal has that helps it to survive?) you should include at least four adaptations.
- Describe an environment that would be good for your animal and what makes it good. How does the environment work with your animals adaptations?
- Describe an environment that would not be good for your animal. What makes it a bad environment? What adaptations might your animal need to survive in that environment?
- A visual. This can be a poster, animal mask, animal puppet, drawing, diorama, or PowerPoint etc. Everyone must contribute to the visual. This means that if you make a poster, every one helps, if you make a PowerPoint presentation every one does a slide.
