Research the plants, insects, and animals in your layer.
You may (but aren’t required to) include aspects of your rainforest layer from different continents. In addition to South America, tropical rainforests are found in Africa, Australia, and Asia.
What are the general features of my layer?
What are examples of plants, including insects?
What are examples of animals?
_____________________________________________________
Create a shared Google slides file. Share with each other, and with your teacher. Split up the work. Each boy should research and create 1-2 slides, focusing on one or two of the questions above. Help each other. Use the zoom group to support one another and help.
Your research will result in a 4-5 slide, 3-5 minute google slide presentation
You will present your google slides to your classmates in our zoom meeting.

Example format:
Slide 1: general description of the layer.
Slide 2 & 3: plants
Slide 4 & 5: animals, including insects if applicable

Some tips:
Don’t mess with one another’s slides within the group unless you have been asked to help.
Help one another! What’s good for one in the group is good for all!
You may ask for help in creating your own zoom meetings after class, if they are needed.
