Environmental Exploration

We are starting our environmental unit in NEW school, and to start off the day we did an environmental exploration assignment where we watched three videos on an environmental problem that is occurring in the world right now and we had to then annotate an article for each of those videos and then create a concept map.

One of my favorite videos to watch was the one on saving the coral reefs,



This video told the story of a man who is growing his own coral and taking it back to the ocean so that the coral reefs can flourish as they once used to, it's is extremely important that the coral reefs do not die out because they are accountable for a lot of the oxygen that we breathe.

Concept maps was a new thing for many people in NEW school today and many found it to be a great way of organizing their thoughts.



Overall, it was a very interesting and educational morning in the sense that we got to see how other people are solving serious environmental issues and we also got to practice our annotations skills along with learning how to create concept maps.
