Classwork: Today was an Introduction to Land Conflict in the Rainforest Unit, Chapter 12 of Geography Alive. We looked at satellite images from 1992 to 2006 and noticed massive destruction of the Amazon Rainforest in Brazil. We discussed these vocab words:
- biodiversity
- carbon-oxygen cycle
- deforestation
- sustainable development
- tropical rainforest
Indigenous Peoples was also a word we discussed since the Native Amazonians are the indigenous people of Brazil.
Homework: Kids should be looking at news media articles or interviews that deal with sustainable development attempts or any connections of human environment relations that can connect with the Amazon Rainforest.
