How can we help save the pangolins from extinction?Â
Culminating / Take Action Project
Create a puppet show to teach others about this amazing animal and how we can all help to save the pangolins.Â
What Kids Learn
Students learn all about an animal that most people have never heard of – the pangolin. Students read about what is special about a pangolin, why they are in danger, who is helping and how we can help? Students then create a pangolin puppet and learn how to write a story or play that they can perform to share with others all they have learned about the pangolin
