What? Doesn't EVERYONE do jellyfish and Thanksgiving together?! ha!
Last week, I forgot to take a picture of our finished product from our jellyfish informational writing WITH opinions! Last week we used our reading series story to write a research project, and we added in opinions! It actually worked out great!! I gave them this research paper, and they gave a detail of what jellyfish are, have, and an interesting detail. They also gave an opinion about 2 of those details...then the last box was the "opinion" box, but it also acted as the conclusion. It was their opinion and then they had to give 2 facts that supported their opinion. In the center box, they wrote what they were researching, and then drew and labeled a picture of a jellyfish.
Then, they turned their planning into a research paper!
They highlighted the opinions they wrote in their paper.
Once they finished their writing, they got to do the craft portion of it (motivation to finish!) They water color painted a coffee filter and we taped streamers (oral arms) and ribbon (tentacles) to the bottoms of the coffee filter. They turned out so cute!
