Summary
Sure, students might know the difference between a producer and a consumer… but have they considered how they feel about each other? What, in a producer’s opinion, are the pros and cons of a consumer?
- Students will gather information about producers and consumers.
- Then they analyze that information and write down the positive and negative contributions of producers and consumers to an ecosystem.
- Students create a script in which a producer and a consumer have an honest talk about what they appreciate about each other but also what they other could improve.
- Finally, students add in the decomposers! They'll research decomposers, consider their positive and negative contributions, and then add them to the script.
