Terrible Lizard Project

Today we will begin the Terrible Lizard project in my class. You will need to bring your composition notebook to class every day until the project is completed. We will be conducting a majority of the research in my class. You will need to work hard to complete all of your work in the required time. We have provided enough class time for you to do all your work in school, but if you are absent or are not keeping on task you will need to stay after school to finish your notes.

Your first assignment will be to complete a webquest. You will visit the following website and answer the questions in your composition notebooks starting on pg. 30. This website describes how life has a history. To find out more,
