| Central Question: What are the different types of tropical forest and how are they shaped by different physical forces? Guiding Thought Question: What is it about forests that make them so mysterious and so ripe for storytelling about them? Today's Learning Objective: Students will examine the physical systems that have led to the creation of different types of forests in the tropical regions by discussing notes, and examining the role of species within the forests. |  |

The thing that makes forests so mysterious is the fact that they have so many different species and are so densely populated that many things in the forests are still unknown about some of the species that live there

Forests get dark at night which gives them eerie look and depending on the climate/weather they can become foggy. Things that are unknown are mysterious so that gives it a good story telling aspect.

It is the fact that it is so dark and once you go in you can't really tell which direction you are going.

The thing that makes story telling about forests is probably because they are so hard to explore because of how lush they are, and there are tons of mysteries.

Forests are mysterious because they usually cover a large amount of area, and within that area are hundreds of different kinds of species. While many species have been discovered, there are still many that are unknown. The possible life within the forests that is still waiting to be discovered is what makes them, the forests, so good for storytelling.

Forests are great for story telling because there is so many details that you can come up with and the wildlife is very diverse.

The foliage is so dense and undiscovered that it is mysterious and makes for good stories, it is also very exotic and most likely untouched by humans. The biodiversity is also very high in the jungle so there are many animals and plants to write about.

Its easy to lose your sense of direction and get lost. The foliage can be dense and cover the sky. Also there is a lot of noises happening that can be scary if you don't know what it is.

They create a vivid picture and atmosphere with just a few words. They can also be used for multiple types of stories

Forests have a lot more diversity of animals usually. They arent what we usually see. It feels like theres less discovered about it.

The rainforests have dense populations of diverse animals but there is so much foliage and shelter that it can be hard to see many of them.

The foliage in forests is dense and because the top layer is so dense there isn't as much sunlight on the bottom layer. Also you can get lost and die in a forest/

Forests have high biodiversity. The amount of life makes it interesting. The trees in forests create shade for the forest floor. Shakes are mysterious and interesting. They also have great trophies cascades

because its so dense and once you get into the middle you loose sense of direction to get back out especially if there's no trails.

forests are unknown and full of life that we dont even know exists so we can tell stories about anything and people wont know if its true or not.

Forest are filled with trees and usually everything that goes in it has trouble getting out, because there are everywhere. And they block out the light and sound. Leave a Reply. |
