Step 2 Writing about Whales and Making Posters (15 minutes) (3b) Task: Students write a paragraph about whales and why they need to be protected, using the information in 3a. Example paragraph: Whales are huge animals. They live in the sea. They eat small fish and other sea life. They can jump high out of the water and sing songs. One interesting fact is that some kinds of whales have teeth. Another interesting fact is that they are very intelligent. Some kinds of whales are in danger because humans catch them for meat, fat and oil, and whale parts are sold to make things like candles and soap. Also, water pollution harms them. We should protect whales from being hunted and from living in polluted water. I think people should follow rules on whale protection and learn more about how to help them. Students then make a poster about whale protection, including the paragraph and drawings. Share posters in groups.
