For a recent grade 2 project, my daughter was to create a poster. In my era, this poster would have been along the lines of “Don’t be a Litter Bug!” or “Help Smokey the Bear and be sure to put out your campfire!” You know, that kind of thing.
The title of her poster reads: “Oil Spill: Sea Animal Nightmare”
And the captions read:
- The oil blocks the whale’s blowhole
- Air bubbles in sea otter’s fur damaged by oil
- Fish gills clogged with oil
- Oil makes bird cold and sick
- Oil makes plankton toxic
- Crab eats things bathed in oil
- Shellfish suck in toxic water
*sigh*
