Rainforest bubble map

This rainforest bubble map collects key ideas around one central topic. The branches group its layers, wildlife, and threats, while the small labels give examples to discuss or research. It is an effective pre-writing tool because it shows the relationship between a broad topic and supporting details without forcing a linear order. Students can add a conservation branch as they develop the work. They can then use each branch as the basis for a paragraph, a research question, or a presentation slide. Check that examples are appropriate to the specific rainforest being studied, because species and pressures differ by region.
