Perth Zoo (Pre-Visit)

Student Checklist for our Post-Visit Discussion I could use this checklist to keep anecdotal records of the children's achievement on the criteria I have identified for this activity. Although most children are working towards Level 1, some children are way ahead of the others so I always keep checklists handy so that these children can be identified.
