A logger cuts down a beautiful forest because he is totally selfish and
inconsiderate and cares nothing for the habitat of animals or the preservation
of our woodlands.
He does this so he can make a profit of £200. What do you think of this
way of making a living?
Topic for class participation after answering the question: How did the
birds and squirrels feel as the logger cut down their homes? (There are no wrong
answers.
If you are upset about the plight of the animals in question counselling
will be available)
