1 On which pages would you look for the answers to these questions?
1 Why are tigers endangered? 2 How long do polar bears live? 3 How do floods and drought endanger animals? 4 Are zoos good or bad for animals? 5 Are there special parks for wildlife? 6 What effects do tourists have on wildlife?
7 What two animals might be found in the section on tropical forests? 8 What two animals might be found on the pages about predators?
2 Discuss these questions with a partner. • What do you think ‘radio-tracking tags’ are? • What information do you think you might find under ‘poaching’? Writing Research and write an expository report about snakes. 1 Research and make notes using the KWL chart you began on page 29. • Research the questions you have written in the ‘W’ column of your chart. • Use more than one source of information. • Make notes under headings. The headings in the word web on page 31 are examples only. Choose your own headings based on your questions.
When you research on the internet, always compare information from more than one website.

• Word work: Set similar questions for the students which require them to use the index at the back of this book. • If snakes do not appeal, students can write about another animal. • This word web is an example of a graphic organiser. You will find more examples on the internet and in Language Tree Workbook 6 .
