Writing Assignments:

We have created two writing assignments to help students BEE CREATIVE in how they think about bees. 

​​

The first assignment is a creative writing prompt: What if there were no bees? We have provided an example response, and encourage students to review all the information they have learned this week about the role of bees in the ecosystem.

 

Would we still have fruits and vegetables? Would certain animals be extinct? Would we need to find ways of artificial pollination, like with robot bees? Write your predictions, then share with the class!

The second writing assignment is an article review: Are bees important?

 

Split the class into groups, and have them review one of the five articles we’ve provided about bees! The follow the directions for the writing assignment.
