Unit Summary
Students will be collaborating in groups to complete this project. They will be using Kidspiration to classify animals, list their traits, and identify which animals go under which category. Students will also be completing a venn diagram that compares two categories of the animal kingdom.

Gauging Student Needs Assessment
Purpose of the Assessment
To gather information about what students already know and what they wonder about animals.
What I want to learn from my students?
I want to find out what they already know about the Unit Questions and what they know about setting up charts and a venn diagram.
How have I tried to promote higher-order thinking?
I ask students to find relationships about animals through comparing and contrasting.
