Dear LOR user,

Thank you for being a big part of this community. To better support the initiatives around open educational resources in the state of Michigan, all resources on the Michigan Virtual Learning Object Repository (LOR) are being moved to #GoOpen Michigan on September 30th, 2018. During the transition, our LOR will be moved to an archived state, not allowing new user registration or new content to be added. An email with more details was sent to registered users of the LOR in September. To make use of the great resources on the platform, we encourage you to create an account and add your own new resources to the #GoOpen Michigan platform.

Sharing the Planet Narrative Writing

Submitted by emilydelong on Mon, 04/23/2018 - 8:27pm.

The central idea of this unit is: living things coexist and are interdependent.  In this unit, students will learn about how living things get what they need from the environment, how living things rely on each other, and how humans can affect their environment.  After learning about these things, students will write a narrative piece of writing about animal friendships.
