NOTE: Whenever you are waiting for Mr.d'E or others so you can complete a next step, appropriately comment on other students blogs: Give a compliment; respond to something specific (what did it make you think, do you agree/disagree - why), extend the conversation (add a relevant question; share what other ideas came to your mind as you read the post); do NOT critique their writing/thoughts. You may ALSO reply appropriately to comments left on your blog posts.

2.  With your group: Read aloud the section in your text on reducing land use conflict.  Complete the pro-con chart linked here (each person should work in their own copy) for each alternative.   15 minutes

Parents: Instead of Asking Your Child, "What Did You Do in School Today?"
Ask them.......
  • How can land use conflict be reduced in the Amazon?
  • What is the most important thing you have learned so far about the Amazon? Why?
