Study Notes

Vocabulary

  • Vocabulary is the language and words used or understood by people.
  • It's usually alphabetized and explained.
  • Example: essential – necessary.
  • Predominantly – domineering.
  • Indiscriminate – everywhere.
  • Endangered – risk of extinction.
  • Survive – to stay alive.
  • Habitat – living place.
  • Extinct – disappeared or died out.
  • Overlook – condone.
  • Endemic – found only in a specific area.

Activity 1

  • Complete a text with appropriate word forms (threat, pollution, trees, destroying, etc.)

Endangered Animals

  • Many animals living on Earth are endangered.
  • This means they are at risk of extinction.
  • Examples include tigers, orangutans, turtles, and others.

Drawing Inferences

  • Inferences are conclusions based on clues in the text.
  • Texts may hint at past events instead of directly stating them.
  • Logical guesses can be made based on details provided.

Activity 2

  • Answer inferential questions based on pages 44-45.
  • These questions relate to animals in the Simein Mountains and mountain Nyala.
  • Comparisons are drawn to similar animals and their habitats.
  • The questions ask about locations, characteristics, and protections of local animal populations.

Day 4

  • The activity involves answering questions about words or expressions from a text.

Post-Reading (Oral Presentation)

  • Presentations in general have three parts: introduction, details/body, and conclusion.
  • Use expressions like, "First I will like to explain..." "Second, I will look at..." "Lastly, I will discuss the impacts...",

Vocabulary Development

  • Conservation protects animal species from human encroachment on their resources.
  • Buffer zones protect core areas, preventing negative impacts (e.g., non-native species, climate change).
  • Endemic species are found only in a specific area.
  • Example: Walia Ibex is endemic to Ethiopia.

Activity 5

  • Find antonyms (opposite meanings) for vocabulary words like "everywhere," "overlooked", "similarity," and "important".

Day 7 (Ecosystems):

  • Ecosystems are study of organisms, their interactions with each other and their environment.
  • These interactions can be complex and diverse.
  • Examples of biodiverse ecosystems are coral reefs and tropical rainforests.

Interviewing

  • Interviews involves asking questions and getting answers on a topic.
  • Interviewers should be well-prepared to guide the interview.
  • Prior knowledge is useful to connect and understand responses.
