In the Explore<\/strong> section, students will apply knowledge gained through the Uncover section by focusing on a species they select.\u00a0 If assessing for understanding, consider presentation options such as infographics, fliers, slides, posters or essays.<\/p>\n\n- Practice putting your zip code into the llp habitat map.\u00a0\u00a0<\/li>\n
- Decide in advance if you want all students to explore the same longleaf pine habitat. Note<\/strong>: Many species cross llp habitats but students may need to do additional research to know if their species can be found in other llp habitats.<\/li>\n
- Decide in advance if students may work in groups or individually to select a focus species. If you choose to select a single species as a class, or have small groups select a species, determine your instructional needs to facilitate the discussion and decision making.\u00a0 Consider persuasive essays, debate, socratic seminars.<\/li>\n
- The Explore pages outline critical information for understanding the interdependence of species and abiotic factors in the longleaf pine ecosystem.\u00a0 You may wish to have students do additional research outside of the Project Hero pages.\u00a0\u00a0<\/li>\n
- Determine how students will keep notes that help them apply their learning to their specific species<\/strong>. Notable points are referenced as Longleaf Species Notes<\/strong> throughout the Explore section<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n
