**Welcome Students, **
====This term you will be required to use this wiki (in particularly, this page and the **Student Resources** page) as a learning tool to complete **three different tasks**. These tasks are related to the **SOSE** unit we are currently focussing on, which is, **Mangrove Sustainability**. The **aim** of these tasks is to help you **develop a greater understanding** of the following: ====
 * ====**importance/significance of mangrove ecosystems/habitat **====
 * ====**indigenous perspective of mangroves **====
 * ====**how can human activity threaten and affect mangrove population **====
 * ====**what can we do to prevent these threats and maintain the health of mangrove environments. **====

__**Task One **__
==== For this task you will be required to create a **concept map** with the main **topic** of **Mangrove Sustainability** using **Bubbl.us**. Using information you have gathered from the Student Resources page and also from your own personal research you will need to include the following: ====
 * ====**Values/Benefits (what do they do and why are they important) **====
 * ====**Aboriginal Australia uses of Mangroves **====
 * ====**Threats to Mangroves **====
 * ====**Conservation **====

====To get started on your concept map click on the following link:  [|www.bubbl.us] ====

====//**Teacher note:** This task is intended to fit into the transformative stage. Therefore, students should have mastered creation of concept maps using bubbl.us or similar tools (e.g. Inspiration) and should only need minor scaffolding to complete the task. This task requires students to use prior knowledge of the tool to creatively show their understanding of the topic. //====

__**<span style="font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif;">Task Two **__
====<span style="font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif;"> This second task requires you to use the information gathered from your concept map that you have created in the first task to construct a **interactive poster** using **Glogster**. The **aim** of this poster is to **create awareness of the importance of mangroves and how they are being threatened**. The information should be presented in **short statements**, therefore, you will have to use the **key words** from your concept map to create **one or two sentences**. Your interactive poster should also have **one each** of the following: **image, music/sound clip and video clip.** ====

====<span style="color: #ff0000; font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif;">Click on the following link to start your interactive poster: <span style="font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif;"> [|www.glogster.com] ====

====//<span style="font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif;">**Teacher note:** This task is intended to fit into the proficient stage. Therefore, students would have some basic skills and knowledge (e.g. adding text and images) in creating online posters, however, may still need some scaffolding provided from the teacher when it comes to adding music and video clips. //====

====<span style="color: #008000; font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif;">**Student Sample Two:** Below is an example of a glogster interactive poster. Alternatively for a larger view you can click on the following link: <span style="font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif;">[] ====

__**<span style="font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif;">Task Three **__
====<span style="font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif;"> The final task requires you to use an **online audio editor** called **Myna** to **create a radio ad**. Students, you will need to **voice record** your **information** that you have collected from the **prior two tasks**. To ensure that your radio ad flows you should split your information into three sections: **values/benefits of mangroves, how they are being threaten and what can people do to maintain the health of mangroves**. Your radio ad should include **music and sound effects** and keep in mind you can also play with the pitch and volume of your voice recording. ====

====<span style="color: #ff0000; font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif;">Create your radio ad by clicking on the following link: <span style="font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif;"> []. ====

====//<span style="font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif;">**Teacher note:** This task is intended to fit into the developing stage. Students would have played around with this audio editing tool or a similar tool by recording their voice and changing the pitch however, will need much more scaffold as they are still being introduced to other techniques in using this program. For instance, adding music and sound effects as a background to the voice recording. //====
