Today in class we read the Lorax and connected it to the following discussion questions.
1. How do you think the Once-ler could have used the Truffula Tree without cutting it down? What are some ways that we use trees without destorying them?
2. Why do you think the Once-ler doesn't want to listen to the Lorax? Do you think the Lorax is right when he tells the Once-ler, "You are crazy with greed"? Why or why not?
3. What effect does the Onc-lers's buisness have on the Swomee-Swans, the Brown Bar-ba-loots, and the Humming-Fish? What comparisons can you make between the story and how businesses affect the animals in our enviornment? Do you think buisnesses have a responsability to protect the environment? Why or why not?
Tonight's homework is to choose one of the following questions and create a constructed response around it.
Constructed responses need to have the following parts:
1. Restate the question
2. Supply supporting evidence
3. Conclude
Good luck and have fun with it!
