Topic

 

For Topic Home Learning, I would like you to carry on with our project around saving the rainforest. Our driving question was 'What is the future for our rainforests?'

 

I would like you to create an acrostic poem using the vocabulary we discovered in our lessons.

 

• Deforestation (destroying large areas of the rainforest)
• Agribusiness (Companies profiting from farming businesses, crops and oils within the rainforest environment)
• Cronyism (the appointment profiting of friends and associates to positions of authority, without proper regard to their qualifications)
• Biodiversity (animals, plants and people living together)
• Indigenous (tribes of people who live in the rainforest)
