They will explore the geography, culture and lifestyle of the people, plant life, animal life, climate, and environment. They will encounter groups that are destroying the rainforest for profit and for survival, and encounter a group that is using the resources of the rainforest without destroying it. Your students will keep journals as they travel through this web of information, and use those entries to create a plan for the future of this rich environment. Your students will love the online games and activities about the Amazon and indigenous ecotourism development. While having fun, they will find out how rainy the rainforest actually is, who lives there, and about indigenous agriculture in the rainforest.
