LAUNCHING THE THEME-Ongoing Project:(taken from [|CTAP3.org]) Resources to support thematic research during UA time: [|Smokey Kids], [|Biomes of the World]

Students can use a postcard template to send a note to their family or their class, pretending they had been on a camping trip (Postcard From the Outdoors, Classroom Management 2-3 #6). In order to create My Picture Book of Animals (Challenge Handbook 2-5 #1), students might want to conduct some of their research on the Internet using [|Enchanted Learning's] animal links. Graphic organizing software can be used to sort the animals from the story into categories (Categorize and Classify, TE page 209A-209B). Students can use illustrated word processors, such as StoryBook Weaver Deluxe or Sunbuddy Writer, to publish original fables (Focus On, page F224).
