Process:
In small groups students will explore composing simple four phrase songs using the ABAC format as a guide.  The songs will allow students to present research data they have collected regarding their insect/anthropoid/arachnid.  Students will perform their group songs for each other in class, then reflect as a class.  Additionally students will work on developing their writing and language arts skills by recording their data by hand.  Additionally students will create an assessment tool for their viewers (classmates) in the form of a questionnaire, to be filled out after viewing each group’s presentations.
