Animal Graphic Organizer - Animal Research Project and Writing Paper

By saadia balhous

This Animal Graphic Organizer is a versatile tool suitable for any animal and pairs seamlessly with an Animal Research Project! Students can complete this organizer using illustrations, sentences, or a mix of both, making it an excellent leveled activity for all learners.

You can also utilize this organizer to structure an animal research paper. These posters look fantastic displayed on bulletin boards or in writing portfolios!

New Addition: Three writing paper options for students who want to write a report alongside their research. One version includes a small picture space, another features a large picture area, and the last has just lines for writing. Choose the format that works best for you!

Remember to set your printer to landscape for optimal results. Students enjoy engaging with this Animal Activity, and I hope you will too!
