We have started our unit of inquiry on SOS Earth and have already had our first contact with the concept of natural resources versus man-made resources. We have also researched into what our countries of origin are currently doing to preserve the Earth.
Next week we will be looking at the different types of pollution (land, air and water) and, as a way of provocation, we watched today “The Lorax”. This film is very much linked to our current UOI and thus, we would like you to reflect on it and answer -within this blog- the following questions:
- What connection do you find between “The Lorax” and our unit of inquiry?
- What type of pollution do you think the film talks about?
- Do you feel that trees have a function? Is it important?
- What IB profile do you see in Ted, the boy? Please, explain
1. I think the connection is that they are cutting trees and that is what are unit is a little bit about.
2.I thik the pollution is air pollution and land pollution.
3.I think that they do have a funcion I think their funcion is that they have to protect the air.
4.I think Ted is caring because he brought her friend her dream and her dream was a real tree.
1. I think that the connection is that the Lorax was trying to protect the trees and we are also learning about saving the earth.
2. The movie talks about water pollution, air pollution and land pollution.
3. Yes the trees are so important because they help to clean the air
4.The IB profile is Caring because Ted dreams to have a real tree and he is a risk taker also because he went out of the village to find a real tree .
1.The Lorax try to plant trees to help the earth.
2.The type of pollution is land pollution.
3.Yes,the trees have function and is very inportant.
4.Ted is a thinker because he had a seed and he planted in the middle of the city to help to avoid the pollution .
1. The connection is that the Once-ler was cutting down the trees which was destroying the environment and that is what SOS is about.
2. The film talks about the air, land and water pollution
3. Trees are very important because they absorb gases like CO2 and give out oxygen for us to breathe. They also provide food for animals and add beauty to our environment.
4. Ted was a risk-taker because he wants to plant the real tree and he doesn’t let Mr. Oher let the seed die. He was also a thinker because he thought if he planted the seed, he can grow the truffula trees.
1.
The movie is connected to UOI because they chopped down trees.
2
I think the pollution is air pollution and land pollution
3.
Yes they do,because they give us fresh air so we don’t have to pay for sir
4.
I think ted is caring because he cared about a girl’s feeling and ted was a risk-taker because he was’nt afraid of going out of town.
1. The Lorax is connected to our unit because it is all about sos Earth. The movie is showing us that we need to protect Earth.
2. I think the film is talking about land pollution, because it teaches you how harmful cutting down trees can be.
3. Yes, trees have an important function – they give us the air that we breathe.
4. I think Ted is caring because he is helping the trees to grow back.
1. They cut down all of the natural trees, and so all they have now are fake trees that you pump up with air. This is linked to our unit of inquiry because the Onceler cut down all of the truffela trees, and this destroyed the natural environment.
2. The film shows us about land, air and water pollution from the factory. The factory puts gooey black blobs into the lakes, smoke into the air, and the land is destroyed from cutting down all the trees.
3. Yes, trees have an important function for exchanging carbon dioxide with oxygen. Without trees and other plants, people would not have the oxygen they need because all the oxygen would be gone.
4. Ted is a risk-taker because he did many risky things like sliding down cliffs on his one-wheeled motorcycle to get to the Onceler so he could learn the story of what had happened to the trees.
1. I think the connection was that the Oncler was cutting down the trees, and at the end, he realized that the trees are more important than money and because in real life the rich people don’t use their money to help the environment, they do what the Oncler did.
2. I think it talks about air pollution, water pollution and land pollution. Air pollution is putting smog in the sky, water pollution is putting gunk in the water and land pollution is cutting down trees.
3. The trees use is to absorb all the bad air and release good air.
4. I think he was a Thinker and also Caring. He was a Thinker because he was thinking what happened to the trees and he was Caring because he cared about the trees and he cared about the girl.

1. The Lorax is about pollution, which is the same as our unit of inquiry.
2. The film talks about trees being killed by logging. The forests are replaced by factories that pollute the earth.
3. Yes, trees have a function. They release oxygen that we need to breathe and stay alive.
4. Ted is a risk-taker because he brings back trees to the place they used to be to help provide people with more oxygen. This is dangerous for him to do because he is trespassing on land now owned by the factories.
