Monroe's Class --  Nature Works (Day 4) --Almost FINAL DAY
Final groups (Habitat, Adaptation and Fresh Water Communities) presented to their classmates.  While not presenting the other students were active listeners during each presentation.  Some students asked questions related to the presentation.  Students reflected on what they experienced during this group project through written expression.  Students used word processing to create a paragraph about what they experienced.  Some of the questions they were asked to ponder included:

1. What would you do differently?
