Learning Goals
Students will be able to compare and explain how theme develops in "A Sound of Thunder" and "Being Prey" through characters' survival choices and the limits of human control over nature.
Students will be able to analyze and justify whether intellect, instinct, or both are most effective in dangerous situations using evidence from both texts and real-world wildlife safety information.
Students will be able to evaluate source and textual evidence by selecting relevant details, explaining how each detail supports a claim, and acknowledging a fair counterargument.
Products
CER Exit Video with Evidence Log
Students independently record a short claim-evidence-reasoning video and submit an evidence log showing how their claim about intellect, instinct, or both is supported by both texts and the community partner talk. The product demonstrates individual mastery of theme, evidence selection, and reasoning.
Two-Story Survival Infographic and Public Defense Poster Presentation
Pairs create a two-story infographic and poster or digital slide, then present it at Wild Wisdom Night with a brief public defense and response to questions. The team product synthesizes both texts, compares survival strategies, and explains where the strongest evidence lies.
