 * Studies of Asia: Making a difference **
 * Grade 5/6 **

Activity 1. Animal Research Brainstorm a list of wild animals that live in Indonesia. Word wall

Select one animal to research. This animal is one that is critically endangered, endangered or vulnerable. Record your information on the planning sheet; My Indonesian animal. Don’t forget to show the location of the animal's habitat on the map of Indonesia.

Activity 2 Animal Groups Transfer the information about your animals' habitat to the giant class map of Indonesia. In chosen animal groups, e.g. the tigers, the orangutans, students generate a concept map using the provided concept map sheet.

||||  || Activity 3 Protecting Endangered Indonesian Species Project Choose an Indonesian animal you know to be endangered. (see the list below) Find information, research and explain why the animal is an endangered species. Decide on a suitable courses of action to ensure the survival of the endangered animal.
 * Diet ||  |||||| Habitat ||   ||
 * |||||| Animal
 * || Lifecycle ||||  |||||| Characteristics ||

Present your action plan as a digital advertising campaign to the class.Remember the persuasive text process we studied last term.

//You will need to explore://

What we can do to help this animal survive.

How we can organize the action needed to help this animal.

Who will do it.

When we will do it.

What problems we might have and how to overcome any problems.

Use a graphic organizer or planner to explore what your message will be and what you will say, which images you will use, what music best suits your message and how you will convince or persuade others to change their practices or behaviour.

Don’t forget your bibliography.

[|The Endangered Animals of the World] The purpose of this ongoing project is to allow students from all over the world a chance to help foster knowledge and appreciation for the plight of the many thousands of endangered animals of the Earth. Students will gain valuable skills for researching, collaborating and telecommunicating while sharing their information with people around the world. [|Endangered Animals of the World] This site is a display of some of the many endangered species around the world. This site is divided into several main sections. The animals sections have a list of endangered animals, organized by their taxonomic classification. Feel free to visit the links page to get more information on endangered animals. [|Endangered Species Theme Page] This "Theme Page" has links to two types of resources related to the study of endangered species. Students and teachers will find curricular resources (information, content...) to help them learn about this topic. In addition, there are also links to instructional materials (lesson plans) which will help teachers provide instruction in this theme.

=Week 7: Introduced Species=

This week for Integrated Curriculum we will be looking at Introduced Species. National Geographic has a short clip about one particularly damaging introduced species: what does this tell us about the consequences of introducing a species into a different habitat? [] There are many species that have been introduced into Australia. This website shows where they have been reported in January of this year. How many different types of animals have been introduced to Australia and are now considered ‘feral’ or a pest? [] Why would someone introduce a species? Why would they be a threat to native wildlife? Your group’s poster on your Introduced Species should answer the following questions:
 * What is the name of your species?
 * Why was it introduced?
 * Why did it thrive/do well in the Australian habitat?
 * **Why is your introduced species considered a problem?**
 * What people are doing to try and control the problem?
 * What are some possible solutions?
