Congratulations!  You are now experts on the books The Giving Tree and The Lorax, and have developed some ideas on their themes.  You also know all about taking care of and respecing trees, make sure you pass on all your new information to your friends and family!  You have shown your ability to use the Web to research, write informative letters, form new ideas, and work cooperatively in a group.  In the process, you have learned more about trees in the real world, the problem of deforestation, the reasons for it, and possible solutions.

Knowing what you know now, what do you think Shel Silverstein and Dr. Seuss were trying to tell us?  Have your ideas on this changed as you completed this project?
