Exploring+Differences

**Fiesta 7 - Johnson**

 * I thought it would be neat to come up with desktop learning spaces that explore the differences between butterflies and moths, and between lions and tigers. These creatures are familiar to us, but how often do we think about how they differ, so that we might better know what makes them unique?**


 * I created the butterfly and moth powerpoint first. I was fortunate to find a nice ready-made graphic on the web. The striking differences between the different moths and butterflies were the inspiration for my activity to hear the description and then match it to the image.**


 * For the lions and tigers, I couldn't find a graphic, so I had to create one myself. The differences within the species are not that pronounced, so I modified the last slide to just have an audio description - no matching is done.**


 * The second slide in each powerpoint is a template of sorts - this is where the student would brainstorm and type in their answers to the questions. Slide three shows how the template could be filled in with responses to the questions.**
