    This lesson plan aims to teach 7th grade students about deforestation through class discussions and activities. The objectives are for students to explain and defend their views on deforestation and identify possible solutions to prevent it. Students will learn about deforestation through a PowerPoint, video, and images, and discuss in groups questions about a video. They will then have a whole class discussion where they write whether they agree or disagree with statements about deforestation. The goal is for students to understand environmental risks caused by human interaction and different perspectives on this issue.
