Endangered species


Dear Room 17,

What a wonderful oral language session we had this morning! We have talked about the whaling issue, the shark issue, the seal issue and the new 'sunflower fish'! (Can someone find me a picture of that fish please!) Of course we have also talked about the party pills and why we shold not touch it.

This time I would like to ask you to comment on the following questions:
(1) Your personal point of view on the current endangered species issues;
(2) Provide evidence to back up your point(s);
(3) What do you think we can do to help here in New Zealand?

Have a look at the following web sites which can help you organise your ideas:
* WWF (http://www.worldwildlife.org/endangered/)
* SPCA (http://www.spca.org.nz/general/home.htm)
* Endangered Species (http://www.endangeredspecie.com/)
* Kids' Planet (http://www.kidsplanet.org/factsheets/map.html)
* Auckland Zoo (http://www.aucklandzoo.co.nz/)
* Wellington Zoo (http://www.wellingtonzoo.com/index.html)

I am looking forward to seeing your sensible and constructive comments! (^-^)
