Importance of Insects

This is a literacy activity that uses a combination of different literacy strategies utilised at my school. There are two different articles on the same topic, insects. This was used as an activity whilst looking at the role of insects in food webs and chains, as well as the classification of 'what is an insect'. Students read the pdf on the importance of insects then complete the worksheet in groups. I used stations with a lap top at two stations for the first activity. Students then read the second article who let the bugs out and make a comparison.
