National Park Report -
Guidelines
For this report you will learn about
a national park of your choice. Using a
variety of research sources, you will take notes, organize your information,
write a rough draft and after careful editing, write a final draft report.
You will need to find information in each
of the following areas:
*Park history
(when it was established, who was responsible, original inhabitants)
*General
statistics (location, size, lengths of rivers, heights of mountains, etc.)
*Climate
(temperatures, precipitation, etc.)
*Wildlife
*Plant life
*Places of
interest
*Popular
activities (things that visitors can do there)
*Other
interesting facts (things that are unique to this park)
*Conservation
efforts
You will also include the following:
*An illustrated cover
*A table of
contents
*A title page containing
the name of the park, your name, your grade, and date
*A map showing
where your park is located (I will help you with this)
*A chart, graph,
or diagram containing information about a particular aspect of the park
*A glossary of at
least 5 words and their meanings
*A bibliography
(you should have at least 4 sources)
***Oral Presentation:
You will also be responsible for a short
oral presentation in which you will advertise your park. This should be a
persuasive speech in which you tell about the places to see and the activities
available. I will give you specific
guidelines for this soon.
