Compare and Contrast Information from Multiple Sources - Wolong's Pandas

Students compare and contrast information from three sources to determine the reasons that have contributed to the declining panda population. They begin by watching the video “Wolong’s Pandas” and taking notes on the reasons for the decline. Then they read the print text and take notes on new ideas. They place a check mark beside the ideas that occur in both sources. They should note any contradictory information. Then they watch the video “Bamboo Mountains” and take notes. Finally, they write a paragraph, based on information from the three sources that draws conclusions about why panda numbers are declining.
