Create a poster or infographic with a list of guidelines for respecting the forest. To achieve this, we can list the benefits forestry has brought to the local area. This will help encourage people to protect the forest.
To make our poster/infographic stronger, we should include some interesting facts and figures.
Devise a plan for distributing our poster/ infographic and getting the message out to people.
Peer Assessment
Examine the steps taken by another group to help the forest recover and review their poster to create awareness for sustainable forestry. Provide feedback on areas you feel they have covered well and areas you feel could be improved.
Redrafting
As a group, review the assessment notes and success criteria again to make sure you have met all the requirements. Make any changes you think are needed. When you are happy, present/show your work to the class.
