The Killing Fields, Underground Poaching, Includes PowerPoint (Earth Day)

By Geography & Math Made Easy

Poaching is an illegal act of hunting, capturing, or killing animals and plants without permission from the authorities and is an environmental issue and selling ivory tusks, fur, and other resources for profit. Throughout the world today, animals, plants, and our environment overall are facing poaching issues. What does this look like and what does it mean for our species and their future? What does it mean for us? Take a look at various endangered animals and plants that are facing poaching through an introductory PowerPoint.

Animals that are typically poached, such as rhinoceroses, elephants, tigers, and bears sell at very high prices for profit.

Plants that are endangered and in danger of being poached for profit are wild ginger and cycad plants in South Africa to ginseng and venus fly traps are all under great threat at the hands of poachers.

Explore the poaching issues throughout the world and explore the underground trade system faced by Vietnam, China, Hong Kong, South Africa, Kenya, Mozambique, Namibia, Botswana, Zimbabwe and India as well as many other nations, finding ways to create protection and environmental safety.

OBJECTIVES

  • Students will become familiar with the types of poaching and trafficking throughout the world through an Introductory PowerPoint Presentation (Plants and animals)
  • Students understand the dangers of poaching and trafficking to animals and the environment.
  • Students will research different types of poaching around the world and will determine a working solution to the poaching problem.
  • Students will write a proposal to an organization that protects endangered species/agriculture to persuade them to help fund their solution/plan to the poaching issue.

Gr6/7 Climate Change - Five Perspectives (Video+Reading Materials+Lesson Ideas)

By Mark Holmes

Help your middle schoolers dive deep into the complexities of climate change with this engaging and thought-provoking resource!

"Climate Change: Five Perspectives" goes beyond basic facts, encouraging students to analyze diverse viewpoints and develop their critical thinking skills.

This comprehensive resource includes:

  • Five compelling letters, each written to the United: Each letter presents a unique perspective on climate change, written from the point of view of:

    • The Urgent Activist
    • The Cautious Skeptic
    • The Technological Optimist
    • The Economic Pragmatist
    • The Frontline Youth (a student living in Kiribati)
  • A companion AI video where the five letters are read aloud by their authors.

  • 12 Engaging Assignments: Designed to spark critical thinking and enhance literacy skills, these activities encourage students to:

    • Analyze author's craft, purpose, and structure.
    • Synthesize information and evaluate evidence.
    • Compare and contrast perspectives.
    • Develop their own informed opinions.
  • Alignment with Curriculum: This resource integrates with many Grade 6 literacy outcomes and climate change units. It was paritcularly aimed at the Alberta curriciulum.

Why This Resource Stands Out:

  • Promotes Critical Thinking: Students learn to analyze different viewpoints, evaluate evidence, and form their own conclusions.
  • Encourages Empathy and Global Awareness: By exploring diverse perspectives, students gain a deeper understanding of how climate change impacts people around the world.
  • Offers Flexibility: The resource can be adapted for individual work, small group activities, or whole-class discussions.
  • Saves You Time: The ready-to-use letters, video, and assignments make it easy to implement this resource in your classroom.

Spark meaningful conversations about climate change and empower your students to become informed, engaged global citizens!
