Task 3 - Write the Report

Finally you're ready to write the report.  Take the graphic organizers and turn them into sentences and paragraphs.  

Here are some tips:
1.  The topic of each organizer can be turned into a topic sentence.
2.  Each box of the organizer can be turned into a detail sentence.
3.  You should do a separate paragraph for each different topic, 4 in all.
4.  Remember to indent at the beginning of each paragraph.

You have 2 choices of how to write the report:
1.  Type it on your computer and print it out.
                      OR
2.  Hand write it on notebook paper. 

Bring your report to school when you're finished.  As extra credit you may draw a picture of your favorite animal to go with the report.
