Rianforst class assembly based on rainforest and deforestation

This resource is part of Tropical Rainforests, a Geography unit designed for students in KS2, but can also be taught as a stand alone lesson. All resources are compatible with both Microsoft Office and Google Workspace. This lesson is a great introduction to the world’s largest rainforest, the Amazon. First, the presentation introduces students to the Amazon and its incredibly biodiverse flora and fauna. It then goes on to look at the geography of the Amazon in more detail, specifically its location within the continent of South America. The activity challenges students to identify a range of human and physical geographical features within South America, including the nine countries in which the Amazon rainforest is located. In follow up extension activities, students identify the capitals of those countries and then complete a cloze-procedure paragraph about the Amazon.

This lesson teaches students about the wide range of plant and animal adaptations that exist within rainforests. A wide range of examples are covered with specific detailed information on each one. There is a heavy emphasis on peer and self assessment throughout the lesson. The lesson can be split into two halves, with the first half focusing on plant adaptations and the second half focusing on animal adaptations. I used this with a wide range of abilities in year 8.
