I am learning about different types of environments and how animals adapt to live in them.
Can be done in ELA block
Success Criteria: I’ll know I’m successful when I can describe adaptations that animals have that help them survive. *Consider breaking the class into 3 groups. Have each group read about 1 environment and create a poster about what they read with important information, pictures, and examples. Have all students complete a gallery walk looking at each poster and noting important things on a graphic organizer. Then have students complete the foldable on their own.
