Learners will identify two specific real-world biomes and be able to explain the conditions of life in those biomes.

Learners will be able to use their biomes knowledge to create a foundation for a fantasy representation of that environment.

Learners will be able to identify an assortment of real animals that can live in that environment and create fantastic beasts that live in that environment based upon their knowledge of adaptive traits.

Learners will be able to develop cooperative solutions to creation problems in a group setting.

We will refer to the core rulebooks for Dungeons & Dragons published by Wizards of the Coast, the online mapmaking engine Inkarnate, and the online player creation engine D&D Beyond. Depending upon the engagement level in the workshop, we may utilize our private Google Jamboard to help learners connect science concepts to mapmaking. Included in the workshop are PDFs from Project Imo that help learners engage in scientific exploration of world building. These include the Cartographer's Journal, Fallen Twins Field Guide, and assorted downloadable maps and player sheets. 

To help with research on biomes and habitats, learners will be asked to explore The Wild Classroom.
