Habitat Journal: The Forest Habitat

(Instructional Master 5B-1) 20 minutes

• Tell students that they will make another page for their Habitat
  Journal. Today they will draw a forest habitat. [You may wish to
  review Flip Book images and additional images related to the
  forest habitat before having students begin this activity.]


• Give each student Instructional Master 5B-1. Discuss what
  they have learned about the forest habitat. To help students
  brainstorm ideas for their drawing, you may wish to ask
  questions such as the following:

1. Will there be many different kinds of plants? Will there be a lot
   of trees?


2. Will there be different kinds of animals?
