STEP 1
- Form a team of 3
- Choose an owl to research
- Each of you will research a different owl below. Use the graphic organizer to record your notes on your owls. GRAPHIC ORGANIZER
STEP 2
Your graphic organizer has extra blanks for you to add additional information you think is important. Make certain that you find all the information in your organizer and answer the questions completely. After you complete your organizer, share and discuss what you learned about your owl with your team. Each member should complete a new organizer for each owl that is discussed during your share time. You will submit 3 completed graphic organizers on the 3 owls discussed in your group. This will be your active listening grade. (5 points for each organizer)
STEP 3
After your group has discussed their owl information, you will meet with other experts in your class who researched the same owl as you. In this step you will discuss information and take notes on any new information you may gain from your expert groups.
STEP 4
Now that you have learned about 3 different owls, it is time to write your informational paragraph about your owl to be added to your team plaque. First download a copy of your rubric in this step and discuss the rubric with your team. Your paragraph should have a minimum of 10 sentences that include accurate details and facts. You will be graded on content (the heaviest weight), grammar, punctuation, capitalization,and effort. (Submit a copy of your rough draft for participation and timeline grade worth 5 points.)

STEP 5
In this step, you will peer edit your drafts to identify errors. Exchange papers, read aloud to your team exactly what is written, and ask each other if each sentence is appropriately written with correct punctuation and grammar.
STEP 6
Finally, the team will combine efforts to present a group project that will be shared with the class. This can be a Powerpoint, Word Doc, a Prezi, a poster board, a video, or any multimedia type presentation that is approved by the teacher.
