Mr. McArdle- Dinosaur Research Project


Students will be researching information (physical characteristics, habitat, diet, etc.) about a specific dinosaur. The class will be given several periods in the library to allow time for their research. Internet and print resources may be utilized for the assignment. A works cited page is to be included. The school librarian, Mrs. Hatcher, will give a brief overview of resources available as well as instructions on work citation using Noodletools.
