ECDC Service Project Week 3

When I arrived at the ECDC on Monday, my group (animal 7, the cicada, Maritza and Xavier) was drawing the life cycle of the cicada. They had been doing research outside of the classroom and were creating a cicada life cycle poster. This poster included a lot of information that they gathered through inquiry-based learning. Maritza and Xavier both wanted to know HOW the cicada grew into such an ugly insect, so they decide to learn about the life cycle.

Not only did their poster include the process of a cicada growing from an egg to a nymph to an adult through metamorphosis, but they also each drew pictures individually of an adult cicada. In the corner, they also listed their favorite facts about the cicada. They both expressed that this is the information they want to be using to make our voice thread.

We have already gathered all of the pictures for the voice thread and Maritza and Xavier have helped me write out what they want to say. When I visit the ECDC again on Wednesday, all we will have to do is add the voice to our pictures in order to complete our voice thread.

Here is a picture of the posterboard that Maritza and Xavier completed:
