To start off this lesson students will present their group projects to the class. I will be grading them accordingly. Presentations are only expected to be 2 minutes in length and the purpose is to share their findings with the entire class. After presentations are over I will be showing students a short clip (GreenPeace and Google Earth) that reviews the location of the rainforests and introduces a new topic deforestation. After clip is over we will discuss the video as a class. We will then read the second part of the Indigenous people article which discusses the impact of deforestation. I will then show the movie The Lorax. Students are expected to answer a variety of questions after the movie is over that ties together both what they saw in the movie and what we have been discussing in class. Their response will be graded and may be taken home to finish. I also added an additional question about ways for them to help stop deforestation so I will be posting some suggested sites on Blackboard so they can use these to assist them in answering this extended question.We will discuss their findings and answers next class.
If you have any questions or concerns or find some other websites let me know. Thanks!
