Students will be taking the role of trying to convince or persuade another person to travel to what they think is the best habitat. Students will pick their favorite habitat and create a brochure with 4 sentences minimum trying to convince the reader to visit that place. There is also a question about why it is important to protect that habitat from becoming destroyed. Then students will draw pictures to represent what they wrote. After completion, students will pick a partner with a different habitat and will complete the venn diagram to compare and contrast the two habitats.
