Presentation transcript:

Amazon Rainforest; Assessment Activities The goal for students is to demonstrate mastery of the following concepts: SWBAT: define and explain the importance of our geo-terms; Bio-diversity; carbon-oxygen cycle, deforestation; sustainable development; tropical rainforest –hint, you MUST use these terms in your responses SWBAT: Understand the various groups competing for resources in the rainforest and why “land use conflict” contributes to the challenges in the rainforest SWBAT: Demonstrate “students ability to turn information into knowledge, THEN, knowledge into understanding”

Review of the activities We have read; written, discussed, argued, understood, argued some more, and LIVED the lives of 8 different groups in the Rainforest We have shared some BIG IDEAS Now it is time to prove you have mastered the material Be sure you cover ALL the interest groups in your discussions to show you have mastered the concepts of land use conflict

Five Paragraph Letter to The President of Brazil Choices: There Are Many Ways To Answer The Questions. No matter what you do, you MUST use all the Geo-Terms in your responses Five paragraph essay (RDF, EEE, Facts and Data, STRONG conclusion; you know the drill) 10 minute power point presentation – not as easy as you might think so be sure to practice Five Paragraph Letter to The President of Brazil Five Paragraph Letter to President Obama YouTube skit of Newscast All your work MUST address what each group wants and why THEY think they have the most valid claim to it….I’ll help you out with this part

Answer ONE of these questions Using all the information you have on ALL interest groups; Which one group has the most valid claim to the resources of the rainforest? My ideas to reducing and eliminating Land Use Conflict and why you think they have the best chances of succeeding? How can government satisfy all interest groups? How am I now a better “Citizen Of The World” after studying The Rainforest?” “I care about The Rainforest because…..” You must address ALL the groups claims when arguing which ONE group you think has the most valid claim
