Animal shelters euthanize animals when no one adopts them. After 7 days, if a lost dog’s owner doesn’t come pick up or rescue the dog, the shelter can euthanize it. In this video segment from WILD TV, Joyce, the narrator, says 26,000 dogs a year are picked up by the animal shelter. To help find homes Joyce, who is also a photographer, takes pictures of the dogs and posts the pictures on the Internet. She hopes people will see the dogs on the Internet and come to the shelter to adopt them. Joyce believes people can make a difference by doing something little.

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) How do texts that we read or view sometimes lead us to make inferences about what we read by implying something rather than stating it outright?

Focus (ELA) We can make inferences from texts that we read or view. Determine what this segment infers about animal shelters, the people of the community and the photographer.

Frame (SS) How does a community make decisions when it has a problem to solve?

Focus (SS) Does the video describe how the animal shelter deals with the problem of 26,000 unwanted dogs? Is there any evidence that the community or local government helps the shelter?
