Science
Today we continued our discussion of ways in which humans affect habitats. The class was divided into 5 groups for a debate. A developer was planning to build low-income housing needed in a community. The housing, near a lake, will disrupt certain habitats. Each group must debate the issue though the eyes of one of the following.....
- The farmer who wants to sell the land
- The developer who wants to build the housing
- The homeless families
- The ecologist
- The families with cottages in the area
Don't just think of arguments for your position, think of what arguments other groups will have and think of way to rebuttal their position.
