(ELA) Authors bring certain perspectives to their writing that affect the text's content. Their personal perspectives may influence them to interpret and represent themes differently. How do you think Colbeck feels about elephants and their relationships with each other? Think about other texts you’ve read or viewed about elephants. How do the perspectives of the authors differ or how are they similar? How do you know? Discuss why it is important as readers and viewers to consider the author’s perspective when evaluating a text.

(SCI) What scientific perspectives did you think of as you watched the video? Discuss them. (For example, the survival of the fittest species in the wild, communication among animals and between animals and humans and the cause of the disability experienced by Ely.)
