The overall goal is that teaching students how can people keep plants and animals safe. It is known that the
habitat is a natural home or environment of an animal and plants. Thus, it is important of people take care of
plants and animals habitat. In these days, people started cutting down lot of trees on forest for wood. It leads
to negative impacts on habitat for plants and animals. That is because some animals who live in the trees
might lose their homes. So, people can help protecting forest habitat by planting new tress to replace the
one that are cut down. It also helps animals to build or make a new homes to live in.
