** From a given list, students will pick an animal to research. ** The list should be constructed so that there are an appropriate number “pairs” of related animals on the list (wolf-fox, tiger-lion, heron-eagle, zebra-horse).  After researching the habitat, behavioral and structural characteristics of their animals using print and web resources, the teacher will put students together with the other half of their “pair.” Each group will compare and contrast their animal’s adaptations, and then create a Voicethread presentation comparing their animal's adaptations to their habitats. ** Resources Print and online encyclopedias, websites **
