"Endangered Animals" are animals that are close to extinction. They are close to extinction because of numerous factors, but the most intrusive factor is the action or inaction of humans. If we as human beings disrupt habitats or predator/prey relationships, extinction is the end result for many animals. This research project is designed to inform you about two endangered animals- the reasons why their on the endangered list and what humans can do to prevent the extinction of other animals. Good Luck!

Make a title page with your name, date, picture/drawing of your two endangered animals and a title("ENDANGERED ANIMALS"). Remember, you are only allowed to print out 1 piece of paper!

In point form, list six significant facts for each endangered animal(a total of twelve facts).

Write a formal paragraph(introductory sentence, body- 4 sentences, concluding sentence) for each of your endangered animals. Since one of our school goals is "improving writing ", you must hand in a rough draft which will be edited before you do your good copy!

A bibliography must be done. You must have two internet sources and one book source. Below is an example of an internet source and a book source.
