Introduction
There are so many different biomes in this world that we may not be familiar with. Take a moment to think of all of the biomes that you know of. The goal is to be able to know specific biomes and 2 characteristics of each one.
Task
You will need to memorize and name 5 different biomes that can be found across the world along with two facts about each one. This will then be shared with the class. We will discuss each biome in small groups.
Process
After sharing the information with the class, you should:
1. Create a poster with the information you just shared.
2. The poster will have 5 sections with a picture of the biome and the 2 facts about it in complete sentences.
3. Present the poster to the class so they can see a visual representation of each biome.
Evaluation
| Excellent - 2 | Fair - 1 | Poor - 0 | |
| Correctly identifies 5 biomes and 2 facts about each | Student identifies all 5 biomes and gives interesting facts | Student identifies 2-4 biomes correctly with facts | Student fails to identify 2 or more biomes and give facts about them |
| Creates a presentable poster with complete sentences | Poster has pictures, and all sentences are complete | Poster has most pictures, but there are a few missing complete sentences | Poster does not have pictures, and the sentences are rarely complete |
Conclusion
After this project, students will better understand the world around them and what each biome consists of in terms of weather, animals, and vegetation. They will be more knowledgable about the different biomes of the world.
