Last week we used nonfiction texts and the tale The Great Kapok Tree by Lynne Cherry to study the harmful effects of humans on ecosystems. Read the questions below. Select one to answer in the comments section. Make sure to explain your thinking well. Comments are due by Friday, March 4.
- Rewrite the ending of the story and tell what would have happened if the man had cut down the tree. Predict what happens to the animals now that their home is gone.
- Think of some examples of ways humans harm the ecosystem. If they know what they do is harmful, why do you think people still do them?
- If you were one of the animals in the rainforest, what would you say to the man to try to save their trees?
- Which animal do you think left the biggest impression on the man? Explain why.

If I was a animal in the rain forest, I would say please dont cut down the tree, look what you are going to do to the forest and look what will happen to the animals and all the pretty stuff in the rain forest. Also the animals will not have any food or water and they also wouldent get any shelter.

well if i was one of the jugle would tell them to stop it so the as in we dont know we have and soon it will be gone.
a couple of exsamples are that humans do not have respect for wild or even non wild animals in this world. for my hole life i`v been seen animals been treat so badly that they do not survive.when people crash the ecosystem down the wild people ,people say will help it come back up and desire it.thats natives that will do that.i know why people think its harmful but i do not know why they still do it. i think it`s because they think natives are every thing but natives just want to help the world.
I think the anteater did beacause it said that if keeps on chopping down trees like he is now how are any living things going to live without oxygen frpm the trees.
if i were one of the animals of the rainforest i whould be a monkey becouse they need bannanas to eat and live mostly becouse bannanas come from trees so then the monkey just can pick the bannanas off the tree.
I would be a monkey and I would tell the man "if you cut down this tree, I will have nothing to swing on". The animal that left the biggest message was the tiger, because no tree= no food.

if i was one of the animals i would say please dont cut down the tree because we haved lived here for many years and have a lot of great memories and you would destroy all of them if you cut this tree down thats what i would say to him
I would say whats wrong with this tree exactly nothing take someone elses tree not this one its special.

If that man had cut down that tree he would have probably came back for more and more. Then the animals of the forest woulded have homes to sleep in or food to eat.

it would be bad for the animals because there the ones that will have no homes if we cut down trees
i think the eadint would have hapend if he cut down the tree the animals would be home less and they would have no wher to stay and they would not beabel to get food or to have a place to stay besides the othetr small trees and the ground and its a good thing tyhat he did not cut it because what if they nwent to his housre and cut down his home he would not like it so its a good thing because its a home it may not be his home but it is a home and the animals would have no where to saty atfer the trees was gone

Yeah umm i would be a Zombie because zombies are animals right? They eat meat and yeah so yeah i would want to be a zombie and they dont have to be worried about the ecosystem becuase they dont think. Also they dont have to try to protected anyone because their like "scary and ugly"(not to me i think their like cute little adorable babies) and yeah zombies could find thier own food and they would never get bored because they eat ALL THE TIME!!! and the boys dont have to worry about the girls talking "so much" because they dont talk......well this is like off the subject so yeah imma go now....
