Endangered Species PowerPoint Presentations

Students researched an endangered species of their choice and created PowerPoint presentations based on what they found out. Students learned how to make a PowerPoint presentation in class and through online tutorials. Their final projects were a collaborative effort with their partner, and were completed with very little teacher input. This was also the students' first experience with doing a work's cited page (bibliography).
