Comment on this resource
In this lesson plan students will learn about the importance of ocean conservation. They will think about how photography can help humans understand the impact they are having on the oceans by looking at the photography of David Doubilet. They will look at animals that are endangered because of human behavior and choose one to study in depth. Finally, students will draw the animal they choose and describe why it is in peril and how it can be protected.
