Visit the library together to gather information about the birds
around the world.

As a class discuss the flight patterns, migrating patterns, and
habitats of birds around the world. Refer to the books that have been
recommended in this lesson along with the books that the class finds at
the library when you visit together.

Divide the class into teams of 5 students each. Each team will
concentrate on one of the six biogeographical regions on the earth.
Assign each team a region.
|
 |
Have the students draw their region on a piece of the white butcher
paper.

 |
Have the students draw the birds that live in their region on the
butcher paper. Note that some birds will migrate from one region to
another region and then return at the close of the migrating season.
Have the students label the birds that live in their region.
|
 |
As a class put the six regions together and place on a bulletin board.
|
 |
Ask the teams to write up a report about the birds in their region
including the habitat, habits, and characteristics of their birds. Then
ask each team to present their findings to the rest of the class orally.
Place the written reports under the bulletin board with the six regions
of the earth.
