This document outlines the annual plan for an Ecology class taught by Lic. Cintia Furmento. The plan includes expectations for student achievement such as acquiring vocabulary, understanding texts, producing oral and written work, and analyzing how human actions impact the Earth. It is divided into three units that will cover natural resources and energy, biodiversity, and sustainable development. Students will learn about renewable and nonrenewable resources, types of energy, threats to biodiversity like habitat destruction and invasive species, and examples of sustainable practices like organic family gardening. Assessment will focus on students' ability to relate topics, use technical vocabulary, and demonstrate comprehension through oral and written work.
