Activity (MS Word)
Activity (PDF)
This activity is based on the problems
that many urban areas are facing with the burgeoning urban deer
herds. The students are divided into groups and each group
represents a real group that has a vested interest in how the
deer overpopulation problem will be solved. The groups range
from PETA to the Safari Club. The student groups develop a
management solution for the deer overpopulation problem and
present their solution at a mock city council hearing. |
