“Create Awareness for Protected Species”
In this activity, students select an endangered species and use media to create awareness for the species.
Roy’s approach to saving the owls begins when he raises awareness for them in his classroom. Most of the people in his community are unaware of the owls at the construction site, but by raising awareness, Roy can gather the community to speak up for the protected species.
Identify an endangered species and raise awareness for the species through a commercial, information bulletin, or other form of media. Draw connections between Roy’s experience and animal conservation as you plan and work. Use the questions below to guide your product:
Present your media to peers, listen actively, and ask questions as they present theirs. In follow-up discussion or writing reflection, analyze and evaluate the connection points between your species and the owls and between your experience raising awareness and Roy’s.
