= **iMovie on Animals at Risk** =

**Pick a topic** from the list below (or talk to Mrs. Wellborn about a different topic to research:
DAY ONE === You will be making a PSA on animals at risk of extinction. Working in groups of two or three, pick one of the following animals to research and learn about: red pandas, African elephants, amur leopards, orangatans, aye-ayes, vaquitas, black rhinos, hawksbill turtles. === === 2. After you have selected your topic, use the CPS databases or reliable websites to find answers to the following **questions (make sure you divide up the questions to research):** ===
 * === Where does this animal live (country and habitat)? ===
 * === How many of these are still in existence? ===
 * ===What does this animal eat?===
 * === What are the threats to this creature's existence? (For example, is loss of habitat due to human encroachment a cause of its declining numbers? Does pollution hurt this creature? Is the creature being hunted to extinction?) ===
 * ===Write down one interesting fact about this animal.===

DAY TWO
=== **3.** **When you have all your information, write a script** to use with pictures. Be sure to assign roles to each person in your group and decide who will say which lines. Important---you may do some recording over pictures but at some point you must have a student (or all of the group) in front of the camera. ===

Be sure to include credits for the pictures you have used, if they are available.
