Over the course of the month, students will read and research information about rain forests. This will lead them to write an informational journal about the rain forest.
Before creating their journal, students should consider:
What common features are in all journals? How do they differ?
What features are helpful to the reader?
What makes the journal interesting or engaging for the reader?
