Remember to narrow down your focus to one animal species to be the objective of your research.]]> 2019-02-20 01:29:28 UTC https://padlet.com/prudencespooner/nofsqul2tamm/wish/332999865 prudencespooner https://padlet.com/prudencespooner/nofsqul2tamm/wish/333003442 Focus II: How do we solve the problem of animal species being endangered? Do some research to determine what has already been done to protect animal species from becoming endangered. Then, think what next?]]> 2019-02-20 01:43:04 UTC https://padlet.com/prudencespooner/nofsqul2tamm/wish/333003442 prudencespooner https://padlet.com/prudencespooner/nofsqul2tamm/wish/333004544 Focus III: How can we create an endangered species exhibition to show the reasons why various species are extinct to our school population?  Now put your brains together to determine what will you design to showcase what you have learned about your endangered species to your peers? What will it look? What materials will you use? How will you display your information to gain more attention and support for your perspective? How will you leave a lasting impression in your audiences' mind?  ]]> 2019-02-20 01:46:59 UTC https://padlet.com/prudencespooner/nofsqul2tamm/wish/333004544 prudencespooner https://padlet.com/prudencespooner/nofsqul2tamm/wish/333006036 Focus IV: Should we be concerned about endangered species becoming extinct in our communities? Learn about the endangered species next to extinction.  Read articles, watch videos, analyze charts, maps, diagrams, and other graphical features to determine whether we should be concerned or not about animal extinction.  Think about creating a survey to ask others about their opinions about this topic.  Interview local ecologists, biologists, zoologists, and other scientists who can answer some of the questions you may have about endangered species.  Don't be afraid to visit your local zoo, museum, or conservatory to gain more information about your endangered species.  ]]> 2019-02-20 01:53:17 UTC https://padlet.com/prudencespooner/nofsqul2tamm/wish/333006036 prudencespooner https://padlet.com/prudencespooner/nofsqul2tamm/wish/333007840 Focus V: Could endangered species solve the problem of overpopulation of nuisance wildlife? You need to know what species are considered to be a nuisance even though they maybe endangered.  Find out which species were considered a nuisance and are now extinct.  Determine whether their populations created other problems when they increased or decreased.]]> 2019-02-20 02:00:57 UTC https://padlet.com/prudencespooner/nofsqul2tamm/wish/333007840 prudencespooner https://padlet.com/prudencespooner/nofsqul2tamm/wish/333008646 Focus VI: How do we communicate with others the effects of endangered species impacting humans, plants, and other animal ecosystems? You have learned so much about this topic at this point.  Determine what is the best way to showcase your knowledge about the subject and design it with your vision of showing the current and future outcomes of your species being endangered and extinct. Think about the ecosytem impacted by the consistent reduction of your endangered species' population. Be persuasive using the voice of your endangered species as your guide!   Will you create a song, a rap, a video, a podcast, a poem, a chant, post on a discussion board, or even design a t-shirt that represents your position?]]> 2019-02-20 02:04:57 UTC https://padlet.com/prudencespooner/nofsqul2tamm/wish/333008646 prudencespooner https://padlet.com/prudencespooner/nofsqul2tamm/wish/333010688 Focus VII: How can we, as ecologist, invent technologies to reduce the number of endangered species? Research technologies which may already exist in helping reduce wildlife endangerment. Determine the benefits and costs of those technologies being used to protect that species. Then, design your technology for which you believe would help in saving your species while protecting the environment at the same time.  ]]> 2019-02-20 02:14:09 UTC https://padlet.com/prudencespooner/nofsqul2tamm/wish/333010688 prudencespooner https://padlet.com/prudencespooner/nofsqul2tamm/wish/333012194 Focus VIII: How can we show our local communities that using technology can help reduce species that are endangered? Think about the best way to communicate with your community. Remember your community is your classroom, school, neighborhood, and city.  You have so many individuals to reach, so how will you reach them with your knowledge about this issue?  Will you reach them by mail, in person, email, YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, or even Twitter?  How will you get your message out to the public?  ]]> 2019-02-20 02:20:00 UTC https://padlet.com/prudencespooner/nofsqul2tamm/wish/333012194 prudencespooner https://padlet.com/prudencespooner/nofsqul2tamm/wish/333013659 Focus IX: How do we develop a plan to attract community stakeholders to support wildlife conservation fundraisers? According to an old proverb, " A vision without a plan is just a dream." Your vision is more than a dream. You have a chance to turn your vision into a reality. Thus, your fundraiser should convey your message that each person has a role in saving endangered species on our planet. Let them know how that this is their chance to support the solutions to this problem through the use of technology. Don't forgot to target your message to your audience. Be clear, concise, and convincing by using the things that you have learned about this topic.  Have an idea where your donations will be going, just to show that your fundraising is legitimate. Your audience wants to know that their contribution is going to a worthy cause.  Keep in mind other creative ways for your audience to get involved too. Money is one way, but using their time in productive ways is another option in supporting your vision. ]]> 2019-02-20 02:26:07 UTC https://padlet.com/prudencespooner/nofsqul2tamm/wish/333013659 prudencespooner https://padlet.com/prudencespooner/nofsqul2tamm/wish/333016950 Focus X:  How can we, as ecologists, use social media to build relationships with wildlife conservationists as a way to  encourage them to help us to protect animal species locally or internationally?  You have become an expert in knowing about animal endangerment, extinction, and conservation. Join forces with other online organizations to learn more about this issue, garner more support for your mission, and put your fundraising to good use.  Think about safe ways to communicate with these organizations.  Determine whether these organizations are legitimate.  Get your parents and other adults involved before contacting any organization or individual. Remember never to send money until an adult has approved it first.  Think of the name for your conversation team! Get involved through communication and participation!  Most of all, learn how these organizations are using their voice as POWER to evoke change in a long term problem.  What current laws which protect endangered species?  How are these laws being enforced?  What changes have occurred to reduce this problem? Remember to be the change that you desire to see in our world for you are part of the world's ecosystem too!]]> 2019-02-20 02:41:29 UTC https://padlet.com/prudencespooner/nofsqul2tamm/wish/333016950
