For my LiD project I am making a website/bird portal to post
information that I discover throughout the year. From now until Christmas I will focus on just
finding out about birds: who their ancestors are, their evolution,
classification, distribution, anatomy, physiology, behavior, ecology, and
relationships with humans. This organization
came from the Wikipedia website, and I felt like the order made a lot of sense
for organizing my research. My goal for
every LiD paragraph starting after Christmas is to focus on one bird
classification a month, and within that month I will do a new bird each week. I
will post the fun facts, projects, information etc. about each bird on my blog
that I am learning how to make. I will
still do some of the fun projects like make a game board and a cool book, or
recipe that uses bird eggs, or something crazy like that. The website will be where I can put all my
pictures, videos and info.
The first part of
my learning came from defining what a bird is.
My sister and I made a KWL chart while playing school, and we found we
already knew quite a bit I will put our chart on the website. The google dictionary defines a bird like
this a: “a warm-blooded egg-laying vertebrate distinguished by the
possession of feathers, wings, and a beak and (typically) by being able to
fly.” We both already knew a little about the fact that birds are related to
dinosaurs from movies, discovery channel and educational cartoons about
dinosaurs. But next week my research and web-building will be about bird
evolution, diversity, modern birds, and how the bird books classify the
different groups.
