Activity 3: The WWF: World Wildlife Fund [10 points]
In 1961, a number of people came together to start an organisation called the World Wildlife Fund (WWF). The main goal of this organisation was/is to protect life on earth. Hundreds of WWF staff work in countries all over the world trying to protect our planet and the animals who live here. To learn more about their amazing work, click on one of the two video links below.
Clip #1: Freshwater Seals
Clip #2: Tigers
Once you have watched the video, go to your blog and, using full sentences, tell us:
1) The name of the animal the WWF is working to save.
2) What the WWF is doing to help the animal.
1) The name of the animal the WWF is working to save.
2) What the WWF is doing to help the animal.
3) What, if any, success they have had protecting the animal.
1) The name of the animal the WWF is working to save is the 'Freshwater Seals'.
2) The WWF volunteers are working together to make snowbanks that the seals can use.
3) I think that WWF succeeded in my opinion, but I don't know for sure because it didn't say wheter they succeeded or not.
Task Description: For this task I had to write a sentence or two about the questions that were provided about the WWF. My task is above, check it out and then comment below how you would've answered or explained these questions. I hope you enjoy.
Kia ora Makayla,
ReplyDeleteMy name is Patricia and I am part of the Summer Learning Journey team.
Activity 1: Fantastic Beasts - I really like your beast description, you used a good range of adjectives to make your text interesting and also to create a visual image in my head. Your beast does most definitely looks fierce and powerful and I liked specially the name you gave to it, which somehow links with the beast powers, super cool!
Activity 2: The Secretive Skink - I would love to work as a Doc ranger to be able to protect our native land and animals, what about you? However, as you already pointed out it would be quite lonely and isolate.
Activity 3: The WWF: World Wildlife Fund - You did complete the task well and stick to the main points on your answers. Also, I like how you have been honest on your third point on saying that you don't really know if they succeed or not and, to be honest, neither do I! However, I think if they can bring some sort of awareness to the people (like me & you), about how much devastation is climate change creating and how responsible we are to keep this planet going and to reverse the damage that has been done so far, that somehow can be consider as a success, do you agree?
Keep up with the good work!
Kia kaha,
Patricia
