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:

1. What kinds of plants will be in your drawing? Will there be
   many plants or just a few plants?
