WITHOUT TREES OUR PLANET WILL BE PLANET WITHOUT LIFE. TREES PLAY BIG ROLE IN OUR
LIFE. SOME PEOPLE DONT KNOW HOW IMPORTANT ARE THEY FOR HUMAN.
THERE ARE A LOT OF TREES AROUND US, WE USE TREES IN OUR LIFE, BUT WE DONT
THINK ABOUT THEM. HOW TREES STARTING LIFE, HOW THEY LIVE AND HOW THEY SUPPORT
NEXT GENERATION. ONLY SMALL NUMBER OF PEOPLE PLAN TREES. AS USUAL PEOPLE DONT
KNOW HOW BIG IS A ROLE OF TREES IN OUR LIFE. SOME THREES ARE UNIQUE BY
HISTORICAL/CULTURAL VALUE, SOME O THEM HAVE UNIQUE INGREDIENTS FOR BUILDING, FOR
MEDICINE ETC.
WHEN WE ARE TALKING ABOUT TREES, SOMEONE THINKS ABOUT AMAZON FORESTS, OTHER
ABOUT GARDEN WITH DELICIOUS FRUIT IN IT, SOMEONE VALUES TREE AS A BUILDING
MATERIAL, FOR OTHERS IT IS EXAMPLE TO SHOW LINK OF GENERATIONS.
THERE ARE TREES WHICH FLOURISH VERY EASILY, OTHERS GIVE HARVEST LATER. SOME ARE
300 YEARS OLD, SOME ARE DWARF TREE, OTHER ARE TOO BIG.
TREE LIVES SO NEAR TO US.
STUDENTS WILL RESEARCH, FIND AND DESCRIBE TREES IN LOCAL COMMUNITY.
STUDENTS CAN DRAW, MAKE PHOTO, WRITE ESSAY AND TALES ABOUT THIS TREE, MAKE
POSTERS BY GROUPS OF STUDENTS.
