What do preservationists do? • WHY PRESERVE CULTURE? • HOW DO YOU DECIDE WHAT TO PRESERVE?
READ AND ANNOTATE • INDEPENDENTLY…. • Read the article about preserving culture • As you read, “talk to the text” – underline important ideas, box words you do not know, write questions in the margin. • LOOK FOR AND UNDERLINE: • WHAT is endangered in this story? • WHAT things are threatening it? • WHAT has been done so far to protect it? • Is this a realistic strategy for protecting this thing, and what are the complications (the factors that could make preservation difficult)?
IN YOUR GROUPS DISCUSS…. • WHAT is endangered in this story? • WHAT things are threatening it? • WHAT has been done so far to protect it? • Is this a realistic strategy for protecting this thing, and what are the complications (the factors that could make preservation difficult)?
