Rainforest Layers Research
After reading Chapter 2, students do research, using books
or the Internet, about which animals live in which rainforest
layers, for a chosen tropical rainforest. Students can then make
a class poster showing the different animals in the different
layers. They can also add short texts about the animals.
READ
After completing activity 4 on page 43 of the Reader, students
write a quiz with new questions, but using similar structures,
for example:
It has ...; ... is here; ... live here.
Students then read
out their questions for others to guess which rainforest it is.

students ask the class to guess their mystery animal by
asking questions, for example:
Is it big / small? Is it [color]?
Does it have ...? Can it ...? Does it live ...?
The student with the
mystery animals can only answer
yes
or
no
to the questions.
