Habitat Journal: The Rainforest Habitat
(Instructional Master 6B-1) 20 minutes
- Tell students that they will make another page for their Habitat
Journals. Today they will draw a rainforest habitat. [You may
wish to review Flip Book images and additional images related
to the rainforest habitat before having students begin this
activity.] - Give each student Instructional Master 6B-1. Discuss what
they have learned about the rainforest habitat. To help students
brainstorm ideas for their drawings, you may wish to ask
questions such as the following:
- What kinds of plants will be in your drawing? Will there be
many plants or just a few plants?
