As part of our study of life cycles you will learn many interesting facts about the butterfly cycles.
You will become a butterfly expert as you gather information from Websites about the butterfly life cycles.
Task
You will go to the websites and read about the butterfly life cycle and then create a presentation about the process for the class.
The Process
1. Choose a partner.
2. Decide who will use the computer first and who will take notes. Decide on how you will switch roles so you get equal use of the computer.
3. Read the Introduction and Task together. Be sure you understand the assignment.
4. Visit the sites one-by-one. As you read for information explore the sites carefully. Take notes on a sheet of paper as you learn new information. Return to this site so you can then visit another suggested site.
5. When your research is complete, you can begin making your presentation in Powerpoint.
6. Now, share your presentation with the class.
