Use this template for your students to write the final draft of their animal report.  After you have taught all the important concepts about animals during your science class, students can write a report showing their knowledge and understanding of animals.There are a total of 10 information pages (as well as a cover page) that students use as a guide to organize their writing.  

Pages include:

*  animal group classification
*  habitats
*  life cycles
*  food webs and chains
*  adaptations
*  a glossary page for students to write definitions of important vocabulary words used throughout the report.  

There are sections on the template for students to include paragraphs giving details about each of the animal concepts and spaces for them to include charts, illustrations and labels.  

In addition to the student pages, I have included an teacher page that explains how each page can be used.

Use this template as a tool for teaching students how to include different non-fiction features in their writing.  It's a perfect companion to your animal writing unit!
