Antarctica Posters

Antarctica Newsletters

As part of our JASON XIII "Frozen Worlds" studies, our class was divided into seven research teams. Each team was responsible to research a particular topic and present their findings to the group.  Each group created a newsletter using MS Word and MS Publisher.  Our newsletters are really informative!  You should take a look at them.  We published a class book which included all of the newsletters.  

Our class is part of the JASON XIII "Frozen Worlds" Project.  Using the Scottish Storyline method, we got into research teams and learned all about Antarctica.  As a team, we word processed our reports and created a poster.  These were displayed at our school wide learning fair.

 

As we became Antarctic experts, we learned that penguins only live in Antarctica and polar bears only live in the Arctic ... plus MUCH, more!
