The students used to go to the library to use books to research information on ten animals--mammals, fish, amphibians, reptiles, and birds. They created a zoo on paper. It had to include a map and basic information on each animal. The students did not share their projects with each other. They were turned in for the teacher to grade. The students had to tell why the animals were classified into the phyla, but they did not learn to functionally classify the animals themselves.
