Suggestions for implementing the web page in class
A list of resources for further information, including links to related websites, books and newspaper articles
Classroom assessment: a set of written questions, exercises, or assignments for the students
Relevant Georgia QCC's that are addressed in the web page.
I. Introduction: A typical day paddling through the Altamaha River estuary
You are introduced to each lesson plan through a written narrative that takes you on a virtual tour of each river section, e.g. Estuaries. During your virtual paddle, you will encounter links that provide more information about the river section's ecology. Throughout the lesson plan we emphasize the complex and fragile balance of the ecosystem and the far-reaching impacts of human activities to the watershed.
We intend to write lesson plans for all the major river sections within the Altamaha River watershed. The lesson plans will be organized as Unit Plans according to the geography of the river sections (or another relevant trait, such as relative degree of urbanization).
