In class we introduced our shark tracking activity. Students learned about the group OCEARCH and the role that they play in marine conservation, specifically sharks. They have a website that shows real time data for sharks they have tagged around the world, which we will use throughout the year. Students were asked to choose a shark from their website and record basic information onto the worksheet provided to them in class. If this wasn't completed during the time given in class students are expected to complete it at home. Parents if you are interested please take the time to go to their website www.ocearch.org and have your students tell you about what we are learning. It is a very interactive and fun website!
Also students were asked to read lesson 1.1 in their book (it starts on page 6) and complete the lesson review, which will need to be turned in at the start of their next class. For this lesson I am not requiring students to answer the questions that are embedded within the text, only the lesson review.
