Grades
6 to 12tag(s): birds (46), conservation (97), environment (246)
In the Classroom
There is a lot to explore here. You could start by engaging students with one of the activities on this page, then go to the home page and briefly look at the articles listed there, or go to the Birds and wildlife tab and have students choose something of interest. Have small groups divide up the articles to read and investigate. Then have students with the same article meet to become the expert on that topic (in cooperative learning, this is known as Jigsaw). Have each student in the Jigsaw group create an Awesome ScreenShot, reviewed here, where they can make digital notes with lines, text, or shapes. Once they form back into their original small group, they can report what they learned from the other group to their group members.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member
