Wonderful Work Created by 3D Students:

The last couple of weeks, we have been watching videos by Jeff Corwin, in which he visits many exotic locales and explores the ecosystems there. We have gotten to see some pretty exciting clips, such as him petting a leopard in the jungle (!!) and holding a wild monkey from the rainforest! Jeff Corwin is apparently much braver than I am. Ha!

Here are some awesome Circle Maps created by some of our amazing students while watching Jeff Corwin's video that was shot in the Amazon aquatic ecosystem.

(NOTE: Circle Maps are used to "define" a topic, so these maps are in essence, defining, or telling all about the Amazon ecosystem. You can click on an image to enlarge it.)

  1. Another note: The things written OUTSIDE the big circle on the Circle Map are called the "frame of reference," in which students indicate WHERE they obtained their knowledge/information. Ie., these students learned much of their knowledge from the video from Discovery Education, from Jeff Corwin, from books, family, & teachers, etc.
