Title: Are Chickens the Only Ones?
Overview: Students explore information about different animals that lay eggs, and study world maps to find the continents where the animals live. Students use their research to create picture books containing facts about those egg-laying animals. Then, each student shares his or her book with a partner; partners are expected to offer positive comments about one another's books.
Notes:The directions under Hatching indicate that students should begin this project by reading the book Chickens Aren't the Only Ones by Ruth Heller. Click here to learn about this resource. Check your school or local library for this book.
