Frog and Toad Are Friends unit plan - day 2

1. Frog and Toad Research Papers Presentation by Brittany Ledbetter

2. Project Instructions I will place you into groups of two or three and assign each group a specific type of frog or toad. Use the websites I give you to research the frog or toad you are assigned. As a group, write a small research paper on your assigned frog or toad. Your paper should be 2 paragraphs and should be typed. Each paragraph should be at least 4 sentences. The first paragraph should be about frogs or toads in general, according to which one you were assigned. The second paragraph should be about your specific frog or toad. Include all of the information on the next slide that you can find. Use Google Images to include a picture of your frog or toad at the top of the page. Make sure you use complete sentences and correct spelling and punctuation.

3. Things to include in your report: What do they eat? Where do they live? What color are they? Are they poisonous? Include any other interesting facts you find about your frog or toad.
