Pythons have devastated small animal life in the glades. Where will they go next? Listen to this.
Homework for the next few days will be for students to complete their research on an invasive species hurting Florida. They all have research folders with work sheets and guidelines. Please supervise their looking at various resources on the web including images, videos, news articles and other links. We started with information on Wikipedia. But we did not click the various external links found at the bottom of each page. Students are also expected to know something about the homeland of the species they are studying. They are to ponder why these species do not cause such ecological damage in the places in which they are indigenous.
All this will lead to an essay in which students will be challenged to come up with some possible solutions to the problems created by these invaders.
In addition, what they learn about these species will become part of a piece of realistic fiction writing project to be introduced next week.
