The first thing we know is that
there were two articles and
one video centered around
one central idea.
•
The Stripes Will Survive
•
Zoos Go Wild
•
Behind the Scenes at the National Zoo
You had to read an article and answer questions; read
another article and answer questions. Then watch a
video and answer questions.
This wasn’t too hard. These questions for the most part
were easier than the questions in the literary analysis
portion.
My Scribbles: I took notes as I read each article.
The word plight was a spelling word, so that was pretty easy.
We talked about these strategies in class,
so this should have been fairly obvious.
This question was not too difficult either.
I’m going to guess that most of you
knew the word endangered.
And this wasn’t too hard.
This question was not too hard to figure out.
I’m pretty sure terrain was a spelling
word, too. If you didn’t remember,
you probably had to go back to the
video, but the pictures should have
been a clue.
add to the growth
contribute to the development
This question was a little higher
level. Look over it. You will
probably have a similar
question on the real test.
Next Question
Central idea is the term they will use on
the test for main idea. I didn’t think this
question too hard. My scribbles helped a
lot with this one.
Next Question
Honestly. I thought this essay was really
hard. So I’ll share my way of figuring it
out and see if that helps you.
First of all, I know that everyone has
different learning styles, but I am very
visual. I have to see it. You know,
“ducks in a row” and all that. So I
divided my scratch paper into three
sections and scribbled notes as I read.
You might be able to do the same thing
by highlighting. This is just what
worked for me. By the way, looking at
my notes, I got every multiple choice
question correct, and I am not the best
multiple-choice test answerer.
My Scribbles
I typed it up so you could read it.

THESIS STATEMENT: PARAGRAPH 1
The purpose of this is essay is to compare and contrast the evidence in the two texts
and video to support the claim that the role of zoos is to protect animals.
You have read two texts and viewed one video that claim that the role
of zoos is to protect animals. Write an essay that compares and
contrasts the evidence each source uses to support this claim. Be sure
to use evidence from all three sources to support your response.
Intro: PARAGRAPH 2 Compare the evidence
There are ways the three genres are alike in supporting the claim that the role of
zoos is to protect animals. First, each begins with an anecdote about specific
animals-Siberian tigers Danya and Dasha, a gorilla named Willie, and lions with
cubs. Second, all the habitats in which the animals thrived were natural habitats
modeled after the way the animals would live in the wild. The tigers in Cleveland
had a similar climate to their native Siberia. Willie became more "gorilla-like" when
he was released from his cage and allowed to roam more freely. The lions and cubs
were free to roam in an area that was circled by a moat to allow them to be raised
in a more natural environment.

Support: PARAGRAPH 3
On the other hand, each article has differences. Besides the obvious contrasts, different
animals - tigers, gorillas, lions, and different zoos-Cleveland, Atlanta, National Zoo, there
are other differences. For example, the tiger article expresses concern for the extinction
of the Balinese, Caspian, and Javan tigers and the importance of trying to save the
remaining Siberian tigers in the wild and in captivity. However , the gorilla article
emphasizes the importance of allowing animals to live in a natural habitat and shares the
history of Hagenbeck's "novel idea of allowing animals to move about freely in large
open spaces." Then, the video emphasizes the breeding of lions in a natural
environment, allowing the mother to take care of her cubs which is the best way for cubs
to be raised.

Conclusion: PARAGRAPH 4
In conclusion, even though the two texts and videos have differences, all present much
evidence to support the claim that zoos protect animals as their major role.
