The King and The Beaver

Hey folks!

Yesterday, my students from Inter 4 and I, started a very interesting lesson that concerns not only to the students, but to all of us: Lesson 7; ECO. This lesson brings many environmental world wide issues such as; The Global Warming, Air Pollution, Overpopulation, The Ozone Deplation, The Rain Forest Destruction and so on. Each of these environmental problems has different causes, numerous effects - sometimes disastrous - and most importantly, a solution.

This unit also discusses some of the main environmental organizations throughout the world, that seek to protect and monitor the natural environment against misuse or degradation, like GreenPeace, WWF, Plant a Tree Today Foundation and others.

"Digging" the internet I found a simple but creative video made by some graduating students from Gobelins ( School of Image, Paris- France). The name of the video is "Le Royaume" and it's all about a King who's just arrived in a wood and talked a little beaver into helping him to build a castle. Greedy and arrogant, the king mistreat the beaver even though the poor animal applied himself really hard. In the end, the selfish king found in his arrogance his own punishment.

Great isn't it?

Hope you enjoy it, folks!

See you around =D
