Content

I can demonstrate an understanding of the importance of preserving forests for future generations.

I can create visually engaging posters to raise awareness about the need to save trees and protect our environment.

I can collaborate with peers to share ideas and work towards a common goal of advocating for forest conservation.

Procedure

• Step 1: Students will be introduced to the topic of the UN Sustainable Goals and Goal # 15 Life on Land through a Flocabulary video and watching an informative video from Youtube.  

• Step 2: Students will participate in an interactive Nearpod lesson to learn about the causes and consequences of deforestation. (2 days)

• Step 3: Students will read a Scholastic Action Magazine Article, “Rescue in the Rainforest” that provides real-world examples and perspectives on deforestation. (2 days)

• Step 4: Students will participate in a group discussion to reflect on the information learned from the Nearpod lesson and the magazine article.

• Step 5: Students will brainstorm ideas for their posters on saving trees and promoting forest conservation and work to create a visually engaging poster that highlights the importance of protecting forests.

• Step 6: Students will record a short video using Flipgrid to tell why trees are important. They will also share their posters with peers, provide feedback, and engage in discussions about the messages conveyed in their artwork and videos.
