Learning Opportunities

Pre-Visit

Some research on understanding of where the tropical rainforests are situated and the scale of the mass destruction of certain areas would be of some benefit.

On-Site

There are a variety of ways that students will be finding and selecting information: from their own observations to identifying displays and information boards with relevant details. They will also be making their own connections and judgments.

Post-Visit

Students complete their leaflet back in the classroom.

Learning Outcomes

Students will learn to consider audience and purpose. They will be taking a particular viewpoint and will select appropriate factual detail to support this, presenting it in an appropriate format.
