Class Project

Miss Eddy asked Chimp and Benny to stay after class to speak with her. The two boys didn’t have a written report or spoken presentation for their class project. When it was their turn to give their report to the class, they ended up having only two pictures to show to the other students.

Miss Eddy calls Chimp and Benny to her desk to tell them that their class project was not done the way it should have been done. She tells them that they need to research a topic that they are both interested in.

“Here are the things you need to do to make this a better class report. First, you need to research a topic,” she says. “Then you need to write down what you have learned. Include pictures and other visual aids to show the class. Finally, practice speaking out loud to the class.”

Miss Eddy helps the two boys think of a topic for their class project. After they talk for a while, they learn that rabbits love vegetables and golden lion tamarins love fruit. So, Chimp and Benny decide that a topic called “Growing Fruits and Vegetables” would be a good topic for them.

“That’s a great topic,” Miss Eddy says. “Now remember how Wolfinna, Maddie, and Pandish stood and talked to the class?” she asked. “You’ll have to speak about your topic too.”

”Okay, Miss Eddy,” Chimp and Benny agree together.

Then Chimp remembered how some of the class projects had posters that showed everyone more about the topic. Posters about boats, walking little sisters to school and our national parks.

“I want a poster too,” he said. “I want to show the class my topic even better. Just like Tedds and the other Kidz made posters.”

“That’s a great idea, Chimp,” Miss Eddy said. “Why don’t you try to make a poster as part of your report?”

Miss Eddy wrote notes for Benny and Chimp to take home to their parents. Now they will have to spend the weekend working on their project so they can present their report to the class on Monday.

Before Chimp can leave, Miss Eddy asks him why he wrinkled Lucas and Maddie’s report by not being careful.

“I didn’t mean to,” Chimp tells Miss Eddy. “I just wanted to see it.”
