Now pass out a blank piece of paper to each student. Have students
draw a picture of the habitat that they wish they could visit.
Once students are done drawing their pictures, have them look
through different National Geographic for different animals that
would be found in that habitat. Have them cut and paste these
pictures onto their drawing. Be sure to have students label their
picture!
In small groups, have students share their pictures and their reasons
for choosing that habitat.
Once students have all spent time sharing their pictures in small
groups, explain to students that they are going on a small field
trip outside to look at their schools habitat.
