Before Watching
-
Ask students to discuss what they know about how and why certain
animals became extinct. Make a list of students' answers on the
board. Next ask them to consider which of these causes are due
to human influences, and mark those items on the list. While
watching the program, ask the students to think about what kind
of steps people should take to prevent or reverse extinction.
After Watching
-
Based on what they observed in this program, ask students to
discuss the benefits and drawbacks of the California condor
captive breeding program. What are the most compelling reasons
for going forward with the plan? What reasons make the plan seem
inappropriate?
