Paraphrasing Using Microsoft Word Tools


Sixth graders used the Cornell - "All About Birds" website to read information about the description, habitat, and special behaviors of birds that can be found in Kansas during the spring migration. They used the thesaurus from Microsoft Word to paraphrase the information.

The activity is coupled with a field investigation where students are collecting data on weather and comparing the results of temperature increases in air, soil, and water to the number of sightings of some of these birds in the outdoor classroom, as they make their way north during the spring migration.

The unique drawings added the A-Art into the STEM activity.
