4th Grade Media - the Coastal Animal Assignment

Carol Gehringer
Media Coordinator

During the 4th quarter, our 4th graders worked on their Coastal Animal assignment. This project is a collaborative effort between the 4th grade team, the technology teacher, and the media coordinator.

In preparation for this assignment, our 4th graders learned to navigate our science databases, learned about the ethical use of information and images, as well as the basics of word processing and presentation software.

The students research an animal native to the North Carolina coast using print and online resources.

Once they complete their research, they type their research paper and bibliography, as well as prepare a keynote which they present to their class.

This assignment is completed prior to their Outer Banks field trip.
