Before Watching
-
During the program, Wheeler makes observations about the
interdependence of humans and the various species of birds and
fish along the North Atlantic seacoast. As students watch the
pro-gram, have them keep track of the species that Wheeler comes
in contact with and the relationship between these species and
humans along the seacoast.
-
This program draws attention to an environmental and economic
crisis of international proportions. Have students look for the
major human "players" in this crisis and observe how their
actions and interactions (or lack thereof) have contributed to
making existing problems even worse.
After Watching
-
What was Wheeler's initial purpose in making the kayak voyage?
How well did he accomplish his purpose? What factors made the
voyage successful? What data might the students want to review
in order to assess the impact of his voyage?
