Augment your student's suggestions with questions from the master sheet. After viewing the video clips, students return to their groups, where they are to decide which video facts about wolves they think are true, and then discover which of these facts are true by answering the questions about wolves that these films generate. When students have researched their answers, show the NFB film Wolf Pack . Give students the opportunity to review their answers one more time before submitting them. Students are given time in the classroom to read from the class collection of non-fiction books about wolves.
All communication is done by writing.
Each student gets one turn before any student can have a second turn. Facts written should be short, not long paragraphs. Wolf Facts Bulletin Boards Divide your students into three groups. In a journal entry, have students record how their perceptions and stereotypical ideas about wolves have changed during the course of this unit. This lesson was adapted, with permission, from a two-week unit on wolves, stereotype and bias created by media educator Julia Robinson, of the Media Action Council of Indiana.
