Due on Wednesday, 2/11/09

Students are to create a diorama of the River Environments. There is a two-page layout in our textbook. They may follow this as an example. They must represent every river environment. LABEL each river environment.  Students have been given creative license. They may choose to build their project in a shoebox, on poster board, or anywhere in between. They may make small “flags” and label the environments with letters. If they choose this, they must provide a key to the flags.

River Environments Diorama

            Use pg. 278-279 as example

Represent:    

Waterfalls & Rapids                           V-Shaped Valley

Flood Plain                                          Tributary

Beaches                                               Oxbow Lake

Meanders                                            Valley Widening

Bluffs                                                  Delta

BE CREATIVE!!

You can use objects & materials to make your poster 3-dimensional.

For example: on the Beaches environment – you may glue sand to the poster to create the “beach” effect.

Students also have the option of drawing the River Environments. Same rules apply – make sure that each environment is shown and labeled.
