Marine Report for 5th Grade
Due on Wednesday, November 2nd

NAME__________MARINE CREATURE_____________
PARTNER NAME__________

The basis of your project will be a Power Point presentation, which will be used to give a speech on a marine creature from the Oregon Coast Aquarium!! Each student has researched information that they will use for their presentation. The research, power point, and prezi will be done in class. Student will have time to practice their speech in class with their partner. I STRONGLY SUGGEST that students practice their speech at home too.

The power point needs to consist of the slides listed below:

Slide 1: Title Page – First and last name, the date, room number, and the name of your creature.

Slide 2: Physical description including at least three characteristics.

Slide 3: Habitat: Describe the environment your creature lives in. If your creature migrates be prepared to describe different homes.

Slide 4: Food Web: What eats them, what do they eat, and how do they protect themselves? (Chart and/or picture is required)

Slide 5-7: Write at least three interesting facts about your animal, one per slide.

Slide 8: Include at least three sources in your bibliography.

Example: http://www.seaworld.org/animal-info/info-books/harbor-seal/diet.htm

Marine Speech: Your speech needs to be at least two minutes long. You should have your speech memorized (decide with partner shares particular slides or “bounce” back and forth) and use the Power Point as a visual for the audience. PRACTICE! PRACTICE! PRACTICE! :0)

First Vivid Vocab/ Homework Assign. Due 10/21/11

Name______________________

“I Pledge Allegiance”
Vivid Vocabulary Requirements

• Your first vivid vocabulary word is _________________________________________________.
• You are to do the following by Friday, October 21st, 2011:
o Write the word large at the top of the paper in block or bubble letters (at
least 2 inches). Color the word so it stands out.
o Use a dictionary to write the definition under the word (if you can’t find
the word in the dictionary, you can use the internet).
o On the bottom, write a sentence using your vocabulary word.
o Draw a picture showing a scene of what the word means and how you used the
work in your sentence (3-D pictures will get you more points-use scrap
booking supplies, cotton balls, popsicle sticks, construction paper,
Cheerios, etc to make it stand out).
o Practice saying your word, definition and sentence because you will need to
make an oral presentation to the class on the day that it is due.

***It is important to be neat, careful and try to be creative as you work on this project. It is always a good idea to discuss this with your family and you can get some help from them on this one. I encourage family participation for this project. The main idea is to build your vocabulary so you will learn new and interesting words.

**In order to get credit, your word MUST be themed towards what we’ve studied during Shared Reading on the Pledge of Allegiance.
