World Lakes ~ On the Rocks
This first research and presentation project we will be doing is a study of World Lakes in conjunction with Mr. Moreno's Art Class - Students will prepare a report due right before Fall Break. All details are listed, and/or will be as the project unfolds - all items have been reviewed in class - project is due next week.
This blog is live and can be referenced as needed. Students will prepare a three dimensional art representation of their selected plant/flower have been created in Art Class with Mr. Moreno.
Objective: Define the term lake and understand how lakes differ from other bodies of water. Understand the temperatures, culture, the area - what's happening around it - is the lake used? For what? Many topics to talk about and use towards your paper. Let us know about the symbiotic relationship between your plant and lake. The majority of research has been conducted in our classroom - to include Ted Ed presentations.
Keep a Research Folder - Keep track of your research sites - for bibliography - need to be able to reference -
I need to Pick a Lake .... What is my Lake?
What plant is in the area? Is it indigenous? What the
heck is indigenous? well? Go to the dictionary ...
Why do you think lakes are important to people, especially the
lakes they have learned about. Why do people choose to live on and near
lakes? What kinds of resources do lakes provide for people?
This is a five to seven paragraph report - it will be a cumulative report and your flower
creation must be included - so you must choose a lake that covers your
creation. This process has been completed in class on August 30th - students will have class time and out of class time to complete - time will need to be allocated accordingly.
