In the Classroom
Study the bald eagle and its current status as no longer endangered. Use as a research site for bald eagle information. Show the video under the Festivals tab on your projector or interactive whiteboard. If you do not wish to show all scenes in the video use a program like Clipchamp, <a href="/single.cfm?id=18306">reviewed here</a>, or Watchkin, <a href="/single.cfm?id=16658">reviewed here</a>, to show only the portions of the video you want your students to see. Look for an animal in your area, and research it. Do a Problem Based Learning Project on creating dioramas and information for creating public awareness. Create a festival to promote the preservation of the species. Have students create commercials and posters to meet speaking and listening standards. For online posters use a program like Adobe Spark in K-12, <a href="/single.cfm?id=18378">reviewed here</a>. Create a public blog for an ongoing research watch using Webnode, <a href="/single.cfm?id=15467">reviewed here</a>.
