Use information given to me to answer a question about managing my target species. Conduct independent research to answer a question about managing my target species. Generate questions that I need to answer to create a strong management plan and use multiple credible sources to answer those questions Generate new questions based on the information that I learn from my research KWL: Managing our Target Species What do we think we KNOW about X species and how to manage it? What do we WANT or need to know about X species and how to manage it? What have we LEARNED about in our research about X species and how to manage it? Example: We know that we have a lot of purple loosestrife on our school property. Example: We want to know more about how purple loosestrife spreads. Example: We know that a local group has been managing X species by mowing.
