Current Events Eusocial Plants Term 2
WALT: analyse media with an open but critical eye to inform our own opinions
Today for literacy we did an activity on Eu - social plants. Eu - social means a animal or
insect showing a new level of social organisation. The first thing we had to do was we
had to read the article. Once we had finished the article we had to answer the recall
questions. When we finished the recall questions we had to do a little glossary of the
words that you don't know in the article. Once we finished the glossary we had to do a
little activity as you can see below. After we finished that we had to do some facts
about Lord Howe Island. If you don't know where Lord Howe Island is. It is in between
New Zealand and Australia in the Tasman sea.
