Resource: Social and Cultural Perspectives of Dogs

Media Type:
QuickTime Video

Length: 8m 53s

This video segment from Nature provides information about the social and cultural perspectives of humans’ relationships with dogs. Our ability to communicate and socialize with dogs has changed our lives. Not only can we teach dogs fun tricks to do, but we can teach them to do tasks we cannot do. Herding dogs, for example, help people manage sheep. The dogs can follow the shepherd’s command to herd in sheep from over a half mile away. Because they spend so much time together, shepherds and dogs form a close social bond.

The following Frame, Focus and Follow-up suggestions are best suited for elementary or middle school students using this video in an English language arts or social studies lesson. Be sure to modify the questions to meet your students' instructional needs.

What is Frame, Focus and Follow-up?

Frame (ELA) What is language? How do we communicate with each other? How do we communicate with animals?

Focus (ELA) Watch for ways people in the video segment communicate with their dogs. Is communication between the people and the dogs reciprocal, meaning, are the dogs communicating with the humans also?

Frame (SS) How do we form social relationships with others? For example, how do you make new friends?

Focus (SS) Observe and note the ways humans and dogs form social relationships with each other.
