TP – Students will research, identify, and illustrate the layers in the rainforest by creating a Powerpoint presentation

You will work with your group to start to summarize your assigned Layer of the Rainforest.  You will be teaching about your layer to the rest of the class. Make sure to answer the questions that are listed below while creating your slides.

1. What are the animals in our layer?
2. What does our layer look like?
3. What kinds of plants are in this layer?
4. What is the relationship between the plants and animals in your layer?
5. What is a description of our layer?
6. What other interesting information do we want the other students to learn about our layer?
7. How does your layer interact with the other layers?

Things to think about while researching and creating:

• Is your source reliable?
• What are your slides going to look like?
• What tech skills (transitions, gifs, animations, etc.) will you incorporate?
