Tree Internet Research Project

A recent report by the charity Forest Research revealed that only thirteen percent of England is covered by woodland, one of the lowest figures in Europe. With this fifty-eight slide Powerpoint you can introduce your students to the importance of trees to humankind and the planet in a fun and engaging way. First there is a quiz to identify the tree from clues and a picture. Then students study a poem about eleven trees and have to fill in the blanks. After brainstorming many different types of trees, students then choose one tree that they would like to research on the internet to write a report on. The Powerpoint covers the structure and content of the report and goes through the process step-by-step. The fill-in-the-blank poem is a Word document. This project helps to raise awareness of the pressing need for global reforestation.
