Sure to activate young minds, this resource asks learners to consider how media influences their personal points of view. Pupils examine how animals are portrayed in the media to understand why they feel the way they do about those animals. Additionally, they read recent news stories about the animals, pulling out main ideas and using supporting details to compose an original story that challenges animal stereotypes.
