Designing a Winning Guest Village in the Saguaro National Park

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Don't desert a resource on the desert! Scholars work in groups to build on their ideas from the previous lesson to design a sustainable guest village in the Saguaro National Park. Each group produces a PowerPoint presentation to share their designs with the rest of the class. This is the second section of a nine-part module.
