Habitat Journal: The Arctic

Habitat (Instructional Master 2B-2) 20 minutes

• Tell students that they will create a Habitat Journal in which they
  will draw and write about the habitats in this domain. Today they
  will draw an Arctic habitat. [You may wish to review Flip Book
  images and additional images related to the Arctic habitat before
  having students begin this activity.]


• Give each student Instructional Master 2B-2. Discuss what
  they have learned about the Arctic habitat. To help students
  brainstorm ideas for their drawings, you may wish to ask
  questions such as the following:

1. What kind of plants will be in your drawing: tall plants or short
   plants?


2. What kind of animals will be in your drawing? What color fur
   will some of them have?


3. Will there be water in your drawing?
