Children in the middle grades created landscapes of the biome they researched earlier in the year. First they were asked to consider where the horizon would be on their landscape. Then they considered the time of day. Would it be at dawn, dusk, at night or in the heat of the day. We talked about how the colors would change depending on their choice. After completing the sky children then drew the land without animals and plants. Finally the living things were added. Four or five of the animals were given dimension by being draw on a different paper, cut out and glued on their landscapes. The children used craypas.
