We will learn about different animals and plants found in the forest as well as the different recreational activities that can be done in a forest, such as hiking or fishing. We will use these topics to learn…

Before I analyzed at all, though, I established a clear base to get on the same page as the reader. In one of the Rhethawks readings I figured out that…
