Mammals Research for Primary Grades
This lesson is the library component of a unit on mammals. The day before, children had sorted animal crackers into groups in the classroom as part of the math lesson called "Animal Crackers" and brainstormed favorite mammals in preparation for their visit to the library. In this lesson, children discover the non-fiction section of the library and narrow down their research topic to include one mammal of their choice. Motivation is enhanced because children have a choice of what they will research and ultimately how they will present the results of their research.
