Animal shelters protect and care for homeless animals in a community. They take in animals when owners, for many reasons, can no longer keep the pet or when the animal is lost. The animals are housed and offered for adoption to new homes. Animal shelters offer a valuable service to protect the animals and people of a community. This video segment from WILD TV features one of the two shelters of the Albuquerque Animal Services where animals are held and are available for adoption.

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 lesson. Be sure to modify the questions to meet your students' instructional needs.
What is Frame, Focus and Follow-up?
Frame (ELA) If I spoke to you in a cold manner and avoided making eye contact with you, it might infer that I was angry with you. If I came in with a friendly smile and looked at you, what might that infer? What is an inference, or what does it mean when someone infers something?
Focus (ELA) We can make inferences from texts that we read or view. Watch this short segment and see what you think the music and images are inferring about animal shelters or the dogs you see.
Follow Up (ELA) What message did you infer from the segment? Why did you make this inference? What images or sounds support your inference? What does this tell you about making inferences about other texts you read or videos you view?
