PROJECT SUMMARY: (including student role, issue problem or challenge action to be taken and purpose.  Who is the community group involved and how will they benefit?) The students will be completing a set of activities that will combine into one flip book app. The main aim of this PBL is to design a flip-book app that will help raise awareness for the chosen endangered animal. This flip-book app will contain information that you would have learned during the research activities. The students will present to a panel of people from the community such as the educator/guide from NPWS, their classroom teachers and their peers. This flip book app will give the community an insight on which animals are endangered and how the animals can possibly be saved. POTENTIAL DRIVING QUESTIONS: These are the possible questions that can be asked by the student. ? Why are the animals endangered? ? How can the endangered animal be saved? ? What animals are endangered? ENTRY EVENT: Plan a trip to Kosciuszko National Park and organise an educator from the national park wildlife service NSW to talk to the students and answer any questions at the beginning of the unit. This is to ensure that the students have a brief idea of animals that are endangered. By planning a trip to the park and getting an educator with knowledge at the beginning of the unit enables the student to be engaged and it also encourages start thinking of what animal they are going to choose. When the students are out at the park, they will be given an opportunity to take photos to use when creating their flip-book app.
