 * **Standards Addressed:** || **Science**

**__ELA Common Core Standards__** **SL.5.1.**: Engage effectively in a range of collaborative discussions (one-on-one, in groups, and teacher-led) with diverse partners on grade 5 topics and texts, building on others’ ideas and expressing their own clearly.
 * Come to discussions prepared, having read or studied required material; explicitly draw on that preparation and other information known about the topic to explore ideas under discussion.
 * Follow agreed-upon rules for discussions and carry out assigned roles.
 * Pose and respond to specific questions by making comments that contribute to the discussion and elaborate on the remarks of others.
 * Review the key ideas expressed and draw conclusions in light of information and knowledge gained from the discussions. ||
 * **Lesson Objective:** || To learn how to play and explore Crystal Island and make connections between CI and tropical biomes. ||
