LESSON 6 – are zoos the answer?
LESSON PLAN	Students will learn about captive breeding programs at zoos.
ACTIVITY	Students will watch video and share their option about captive breeding. Is this a solution for their endangered animal? Students will use this discussion to create posting updates on their sites. Students can create a poll to ask their followers/friends for their option about this issue. Students will use wordle.com to create a word cloud with the definitions for community, population, habitat, niche and diversity.
