EDUCATION STANDARDS SUCCESS CRITERIA

Objective: SW share a way they can protect the world’s rainforests, or the environments we live in.

Proficient

Students use prior knowledge or experience, and conduct research, independently or with guidance and support, to develop ways to protect rainforests, or the environments we live in. Students use research to support their ideas.

Students identify actionable steps to describe how they can protect rainforests, or the environments we live in (for example, write a letter to state representative, community trash pick up).

Students present information in a clear way including through discussion, writing, pictures/posters, or technology. Students work cooperatively with peers; all members of a group participate, students take turns finding and sharing information.

Almost

Students may need modeling or support to present and share information in a clear way.

Students may need adult support to work with peers, one member may participate too much or too little within a group.

Not Yet
