Classwork:  Today, kids were assigned to groups to prepare for a presentation next week.  The groups are:

1. Native Amazonians
2. Rubber Tappers
3. Settlers
4. Loggers
5. Cattle Ranchers
6. Environmentalists

Students need to work on the questions in their Note-catcher found in Google Classroom as Note catcher for Amazon Rainforest.  The questions that need answered are: 1. WHEN DID THEY GET TO THE RAINFOREST?

2. HOW DO THEY USE ITS RESOURCES?

3. WHAT DO THEY WANT?

4. HOW DO THEY DEFEND THEIR POSITION?

Students only answer the questions for the group they were assigned. IF you were absent today and need to read the text to answer the questions, here is a link to read: http://www.etown.k12.ky.us/userfiles/38/Classes/1612//userfiles/38/my%20files/6.%20amazon%20rainforest%20(readings).pdf?id=2156
