It is the year 2209. //**Timetochange Time Travel Company**// needs your help to prepare an animal field guide. This will be a power point presentation that will enable their clients to identify an endangered or extinct animal they wish to study when they travel back in time. The company also wants a multimedia presentation in the form of a photostory on the status of the animal in 2009 and the human activity that effects its survival. Your job is to become an expert on one animal and develop these multimedia presentations about that animal. //**Timetochange Time Travel Company**// is excited to have your help. INTRODUCTION We will start this unit by discussing these questions and starting a class Wonder Wall What do humans need to survive? What do animals need to survive? What does it mean if a species is extinct? How do we know if a species is really extinct? What does it mean if a species is endangered?

In this project you will find the documents you need on this wiki. Each pair have their own page to keep their work. You will learn how to do this in this activity. You will work with a partner to become an expert on an endangered animal. Start by completing a KWL on your selected animal [|Going going goneKWL.doc]

ACTIVITY 1 Each pair will work collaboratively to research, create and share a multimedia presentation about an endangered animal. This presentation should include information about physical characteristics and behaviour, habitat, animal population and threats to this animal's survival. What do we know about how ecosystems work? What is the impact of human activity on the natural environment? You can see an example at the following link [|ENDANGERED ANIMALS PP.pptx]

Activity 2 What is the survival status for your animal in 2009? If Time travellers came back to 2009, what could be done to save your animal? What are the risk factors in 2009? What human action is working for and against the species survival? Will your animal survive? Does it matter if a species becomes extinct? These documents will help you to manage your learning.
