Research with students

For the research part of the session we looked on the web for information regarding to horses. This was a good subject to work on because the students are raising and racing their own horses at their home. We looked up any information they wanted to know on the KWL chart. One of the students (younger brother) was not there for our first session but he will be included in the movie we are making. We have already tried out video recording and they seemed to like it. This is very new to them including the computer part. They are not ever really on the computers, but they are always on the ipad so I explained that it is very similar (considering I have an apple computer). I am very excited to get the final product done because this will also inform my classmates about basic information on horses.

Our essential question is
What is a life of an animal like?
What are basics of a horses life cycle?
Unit Q:
How long does a horse live?
What is a horses life like?
