- Make a poster to advertise the use of Great Barrier Reef areas; and
- Create a calendar illustrated with Great Barrier Reef environments and/or plants and animals.
Reflection: Sample Activities
Ask students to complete a self-assessment and reflection activity using the following questions:
- What is the most important thing I have learned about the Great Barrier Reef?
- What have I learned about myself and how I might treat Reef environments?
- What would I still like to find out about the Great Barrier Reef? and
- What piece of work am I most satisfied with? Why?
