Objective: |
Latin America- Deforestation of the Amazon Rainforest
Research Choice Board
Directions- How can we make others aware of the events taking place in the Amazon’s rainforest? What is the impact on the world? Before you can answer this, you need to be an informed student. You need to know ALL of the facts before making your final decision. Once you have conducted research, you will need to take a stand for or against this issue as many others have done. Then, you will need to create a final project to validate your point of view.
Use the choice board below to decide which resources you will use to conduct your research. You must use at least one resource from each column and you have three class periods to read, watch and take notes.
Digital resources can be found using the Scoop It site.
ALL MUST READ- Developing an Abundant Land p. 305-308 from the World Cultures and Geography textbook.

You’ve already done the hardest part…. RESEARCH!
Look back through your notes and decide what
is important to know. Use those facts to create your project. You can do everything by hand or
on the computer.
Start by creating a rough sketch of your idea.
Then begin to add facts and visuals to your
words. Finally connect the ideas and visuals and create a project of your choice.
Your final product must be accurate and neat.
Use the rubric to be sure you have included everything.
