Reflective : Mr. Cuttatree

Dear Mr. Cuttatree, I heard that you were going to cut down the trees of the rainforest to build your Uppitty Resort. Building your resort from the trees of the rainforest will cause these effects: lack of oxygen, mudslides, and loss of natural medicine from animals; anti-venom. This is bad for the all the animals such as the blue moth. This also bad for the environment because the animals that eat the blue moth will die out because they do not have the food they need to reproduce. The top predators that eat the animal will die out because they do not have the food they need to reproduce. Here are my three main reasons: Main Reason #1: Cutting down the trees of the rainforest will cause the lack of oxygen. In our class, we did some photosynthesis activities and research and found that their waste gas is oxygen. If you cut down the trees we will suffer loss of most of our oxygen. Without oxygen Earth will become the suffocating place it once was. All the whales, dolphins and manat

                  Deforestation 11/14 Summary: Deforestation is bad for the animals and plants who live in the rainforest because all their food will have gone extinct and we will suffer because some of those animals are our food. We also will suffer oxygen loss and medicine like the anti-venom. Backward-Looking Reflection: I have gotten better at this work because I have memorized all my facts and found some more information of deforestation. I also have done more work and have gotten better grades on my work. I have gotten better because I paid attention to my work and became more attentive. Inward-Looking Reflection: I have changed my ideas about my work this week because it seemed interesting and it was amazing about what I learned this week. I have changed my ideas because the work was important. I have changed my ideas because the work this week was more challenging.

                           Deforestation Summary: I learned that the more trees we cut down in the rainforest, the more oxygen we are preventing. I also learned that deforestation is killing animals and possibly making them extinct or endangered. Backward-Looking Reflection: I have done a similar kind of work in the past. In 4th grade I learned that fewer rainforests remain. We also learned that deforestation was awful, because we were killing lots of animals and plants that were innocent and important. Another thing we learned was how to prevent it from happening. Inward-Looking Reflection: The work that I learned about this week was enjoyable . I enjoyed it because we were learning about the importance of taking proper care of all plants and animals. Saving the rainforest is something that I want to help with.
