FROG MUSEUM RESEARCH PROJECT INFORMATION

Now that we have researched using a variety of sources and have gleaned information about our Anuran species, we are ready to share our learning with our fellow Amphibians.  In order to reverse the spell that has been cast upon us, students must have a fabulous presentation.  What does a fabulous presentation include?

Students will be given a menu of the choices for their presentation.  They also will be given a grading rubric.  I am looking forward to an exciting and informative day.   Please note the due dates below...
