Modifications: Students can read the article in groups and with a partner fill out
the post-it notes. Or if they would like can draw pictures on their post-it notes
representing their ideas. Students can also see the video called Forest Man to
get a better idea of who Jadav Payeng is and what he did to help his environment.
Additional Activities: Teacher will then show students a TED talk called How to
Grow a Tiny Forest Anywhere. Then as a whole class we will grow our own little
forest in the classroom using recycled materials and store bought seeds. Students
will then get personally experience how nutrient filled soil and the proper care can
make a difference in plants.
