National Park Storyline: Crater Lake

We just finished a Storyline about Crater Lake. The students became junior rangers and learned all about our only national park in Oregon. Many incidents happened, including trash left in the park, an invasion of Mountain Pine Beetles and a small forest fire. The students responded in role as their ranger characters to research solutions. The highlight for the students at the end of the Storyline was to receive their very own junior ranger badges and a personal note from Ranger Kate (see pictures below)! All 10 ELP standards were integrated into this Storyline.
