Lord Howe Island - An Introduction

Students are introduced to Lord Howe Island. They begin by thinking about what an island is before locating Lord Howe Island on a map. They then work in groups to create their own map of Lord Howe Island that includes information about climate conditions, plants and animals, human infrastructure and natural geographical features. Students share their map with peers before creating a Padlet to record this information as a personal reference resource (the Padlet will be referred to and built upon during subsequent lessons in this unit). Finally, if students are completing all the lessons in this unit they will be asked to begin designing their own island.
