In the Latin America unit in 6th grade World Cultures, students analyze the issue of deforestation of the Amazon rain forest in order to explain the trade-offs of using resources to pursue economic opportunities versus preserving the environment.  For this indicator, students identify the characteristics of a tropical rain forest and identify the advantages and disadvantages of deforestation for people of Latin America.  The summative assessment for this topic is a public service produce a public service announcement on the trade-offs of deforestation.  The students used the Wixie for their public service announcement.  The criteria for the Wixie was the students needed to describe the importance of the Amazon Rain Forest, state their position on deforestation, and describe the world with or without the rainforest.  Once the students completed their public service announcement, they presented the public service announcement to their peers.
