Give guidance and feedback to students' plans, encouraging, refining, and helping them to be responsible for their own learning. Maintain high expectations for completion of chosen options. Summarize by reviewing the whole, bringing students "full circle" to the experience with which the learning began.

Design a home for another animal.

Objective: Using the information acquired about habitat and homes, students will design and create a home for another type of animal.

Activity: Using a variety of media, students will create an imaginary home for an animal. Students may also wish to invent a "city critter." Questions to think about may be: "What kind of animal lives under the lunch tables? Your desk? The chalkboard? What kind of food does this animal eat? Does this animal sleep during the day or night? What kinds of things are necessary for this animal to live? Is there anything that threatens this animal? How will the design of this home protect and help with the survival of the animal?

Assessment: Students will create a home with a practical design to sustain animal life.
