Learn about Animal Conservation and cohabitating w Learn about Animal Conservation and cohabitating with animals respectfully in this Animal Conservation Unit.

Each of the 10 conservation topics features a differentiated non-fiction article written at three levels discussing the problem as well as solutions. 

Five creative and critical thinking activities work across subjects and ask students to do more than just repeat back with what they read. 

Sure, there’s a coloring page, but there’s also a tic-tac-toe choice board where students read, research, create, & compare and contrast. There’s a visualize and analyze activity where students make connections between what they see and what they’ve learned. And there is a comprehension crossword, bringing a different skill to those comprehension questions we all appreciate. 

All of it comes in PDF form, PPT form and in Google compatible version. Make sure your students know how to protect animals just like this beautiful sea turtle. 

Message me if you want the link!
