** Ms Blair for Year 7 geography students ** ** at South Sydney High School. ** Hi Year 7 students, This is your own personal learning site for investigating the significance of Rainforests to help you complete your geography assignment.

In class this term you have been studying rainforests and have learnt about the geographical processes, the climate, world distribution, the structure and characteristics of these unique ecosystems. You have also learnt about the wide diversity of plants and animals that exist in these regions. Now you will investigate the significance of rainforests, why they need to be protected and what can be done to preserve them. Click here to refer to the assignment requirements.

This wiki is an electronic pathfinder to direct you to some cool sites. It includes where to find books from your school library, learning objects, websites and videos. There are resources designed for all reading levels and learning styles, so you will find something that suits you.

I have created this pathfinder specifically for you, to guide you to relevant and appropriate information and to develop your information literacy skills.

There is also a discussion page where you can add your comments and feedback (click on the tab at the top of this page). It is useful to reflect on your learning and share your discoveries with others as you work through the process of applying the ISP model in producing your assignment. Click on the link and roll your mouse over the diagram to reveal more detail on each step. You will also be able to refer to the mind map we created together as a class.

You can work at your own pace and where ever you have internet access. You can also chose which sites you use. Besides text some have pictures, videos, games and quizzes. I hope you have fun navigating and discovering our wiki.
