Before Watching
Have students do a five-minute "free-write" in which they write and draw
everything they know about wolves. Encourage students to brainstorm freely so
that they will record the first images that come to mind when they think of
wolves. Their ideas might include wolf behavior, habitat, and prey, as well as
stereotypical images of wolves or how wolves are portrayed in literature and
popular culture. Talk with students about how some of the portrayals might have
originated and review the role of the wolf as a top predator and its role in
the balance of nature. As they watch, have students look for information that
confirms or contradicts their previewing descriptions.
After Watching
Revisit students' ideas about wolves. What else would they add now?
