The Global Challenges unit of AP Spanish® has many interesting contexts, including the environment. This digital and printable article talks about the effects of global warming in Antarctica, and explains the paradox of how rising temperatures actually cause more snow! Distance learners can complete this via a Google Doc or by doing the auto-graded goformative version. Students who prefer paper copies can have a print-out! Save time searching the net to find a good article, and save more time by letting goformative grade this for you! Another benefit to the goformative version is that students can see the article side by side with the questions, and the questions are embedded just where they can find the answer! It's a great scaffold for students still developing their reading comprehension skills!

This article is good for students who are ready for a challenge and/or who like science. It's a little longer than the other article I posted for this unit, but the embedded questions make this accessible for students!

Who can use this product?

• Students in Year 4, 5 or AP®
• Students studying the environment

• Let Goformative grade it for you!
• Use this as one source of information for class discussions, debates or cultural comparisons

What's included in this product?

• a 10-page Google doc article with link to internet source (the line-spacing in this article makes it seem very long. The questions are embedded within the article so students can find the answers easier.)

Thank you for checking out my product! This makes a great review activity or for a sub plan!  It has three parts to it.  The first is an abiotic / biotic sort where the students drag each factor to the correct box.  The second is primary and secondary circles with scenarios presented and the students have to cut and paste the scenario in the correct circle.  The third is pioneer species.  There are six pictures, and the students have to move the correct pictures into the pioneer species rectangle.

This is a google slide so you could embed into a canvas assignment and each student could do it and then submit it.  It could be shared and then each student would have to make a copy in order to work in it then submit their own copy.
