Great little lesson or short set of lessons for persuasive writing. Couple of nice powerpoints.
Endangered Pandas
Pandas are rare today and are protected by law in China. In 1963, the first panda was exhibited in a zoo outside of China. Today, there are more than a dozen pandas in most zoos. Pandas can be seen in zoos in Washington D.C, Mexico City, London, Tokyo, Madrid, Paris, and Berlin. All pandas in zoos are given double names; this is a Chinese custom, which indicates affection. Scientists study the zoo pandas in hope to learn how to save wild pandas from extinction. There are only about 700 to 1000 pandas alive in the world today.
Imagine you are one of the scientists that are researching pandas and a philanthropist has come to you and offered you a substantial research grant if you can persuade him that your research deserves. He asks you, “What makes a Panda so special that it should be saved?”…. your response is crucial!!!
