2D Design

Description: The 2D Design project that we did was a 6th grade lesson. The lesson started with going over different habitats. We then practiced sketching two different habitats that would have at least 3 layers. After sketching two habitats we had to write a fact or characteristic of the habitat. Then, we picked on our our habitats that we sketched and started creating it with colored construction paper. We were creating our habitat to fit into a "polaroid frame." We layered the construction paper with different things that you would find in that habitat. For mine I decided to do an ocean habitat. I started with a blue background and then added sand, plants, rocks, fish, bubbles, an octopus, and a starfish. Finally, the last step was to glue to polaroid together and write our fact on the bottom. This project was a lot of fun and super easy to be creative with!

Extension Activity: An extension activity I could do with this project would be to do another habitat and then have the students write a couple paragraphs describing their habitat. They would have to include what plants and animals you would find in the habitat. They would also have to do some research and write about any new or interesting information they found about the habitat. A writing activity would be a good extension to this project.
