What would it be like to live in Kruger National Park? Do you think you would like there living or not? Why? (opinion, extension)
Think of as many words as possible to describe each animal/the environment in the video. (vocabulary)
What would it be like to live in Kruger National Park? Do you think you would like there living or not? Why? (opinion, extension)
Would you rather live there or here? Why? (compare and contrast, opinion)
How is it different for animals to live in a park like Kruger instead of living in a zoo? (compare and contrast)
What animals live in Kruger National Park. Pick one and find out more about it so you can write a report about typical food, habitat, etc. (extension)
