Octopus Research and Writing Project for K-2nd Graders
Engage young students in reading, writing, and science with this 19-page octopus research and writing project. Ideal for kindergarteners, 1st graders, and 2nd graders, this cross-curricular resource can be used for whole group instruction, small groups, or individual assignments.
The project begins with real-life photos of octopuses to capture students' interest. Appropriately leveled informational text teaches students about octopus appearance, habitat, diet, and other facts. A color coding system helps students organize the information as they read. Next, students get creative by coloring their own octopus picture and drawing an underwater habitat scene.
Two versions of graphic organizers allow students to sort the facts at their own level. Finally, differentiated writing templates scaffold the writing process and help all students create an informational report on octopuses. A self-checking writing page is included for the youngest writers. The end product can be compiled into an octopus book to display student learning.
This engaging project seamlessly combines science, reading, and writing for a cross-curricular octopus unit. With grade-appropriate vocabulary and content, it is designed specifically for K-2 students. The differentiated materials ensure all students can participate and be successful as they read, research, and write about octopuses.
