I created a book about scarlet macaws that would be used as a model to show student what is expected of them. This could be used in a project about rainforest animals, where each student is asked to choose an animal and create a book about it to be shared with the class. I would show my book, pointing out along the way how I used facts and pictures, and included the sources I used at the end.
The link for my book can be found here.
