Can You Guess?

Directions: Take the quick quiz below to find out how elephants are threatened.  It’s okay if you don’t know the answers. This activity is to help you think about big ideas you will see later in the project. 

B. Thinking About the “Why?”

C. Mission Log

Elephants live on the other side of the world. Some of us have seen and touched an elephant. Some of us haven’t. We’ve all seen pictures or videos.

Directions: 

Think about these three questions. Write your answers in your mission log or discuss with a partner: 

  1. Why should we try to protect an animal that lives on another continent?
  2. Do you think we should try to protect elephants? Why? 
  3. What do you want to learn more about so you know why elephants should be protected?
