The document describes a class project researching zoos. The class began by discussing their initial views on zoos, with some students seeing them as prisons and others as schools or a representation of the world. They then conducted research online using Wikipedia and Bing, as well as books and prior knowledge, focusing on strange animals in zoos. Having completed their research, the class is now creating a presentation to share what they learned about how zoos work and how animals are kept, finding that humans are more closely related to animals than initially thought.
