In this National Geographic lesson, students will pretend they've just returned from a year in the Arctic or Antarctic. They'll look at Web sites about these regions and expeditions to them, and they will create posters illustrating their experiences. They'll conclude by writing paragraphs explaining what it would be like to visit the polar region that they did not focus on in this lesson.
