Unto his nest again,

Dunta Robinson, a professional football player, played for the Houston Texans. During the first game of the 2009 football season, Robinson displayed a message written on his shoes. That message, which read "Pay Me Rick," had its origins in a contract dispute between Robinson and the team's general manager, Rick Smith. Robinson apologized for the escapade the following day. Despite Robinson's apology, the Texans fined him $25,000 for the stunt. Then, Robinson turned the negative experience into a positive one: He lobbied to have his money go toward the construction of a new YMCA facility.

Read the excerpt from the play The King of Sharks:

Scene 3

Young man with a birthmark in the shape of shark teeth on his back is hiding behind some trees, listening to fishermen talk.

Narrator: The shark prince grew up. He became a strong young man who looked just like the other young men of the village, except for the strange birthmark on his back.

Fisherman 1: I hear there is good fishing out at the cove. I will head there tomorrow morning at first light.

Fisherman 2: I will join you! Be sure you don't mention where you are going to anyone else. It will mean more fish for us!

Fisherman 1: I won't tell a soul. You must have said something last time. There were hardly any fish left.

Narrator: The prince often listened to where the village fishermen planned to go, and he would always get there first to eat his fill of the delicious fish. With his father's cloak around his shoulders, the prince could transform into a shark whenever he chose. The fishermen were becoming suspicious.

Exit fishermen. Prince creeps down to the water's edge and wraps the cloak around his shoulders before jumping into the sea. A shark fin can be seen heading out into the water. Enter fishermen.

Fisherman 1: I knew it! That trickster boy has been stealing our fish.

Fisherman 2: It's not right, using magic to rob honest people of food and a living.

Fisherman 1: He must go.

Read the excerpt from the story Hummingbird and Heron:

The two birds began to argue over who had eaten more fish. Finally, Hummingbird raised his wing to stop the debate.

"I do not think there are enough fish left in the river for both of us," he said. "Let's have a race. Whoever reaches the dead tree on the other side of the hills first owns all the fish. The loser has to find something else to eat."

Heron agreed. They prepared to race. Hummingbird was certain that he would win. He watched Heron as she awkwardly stretched her wings and prepared to fly. This will be like catching fish in a barrel, he thought with a grin.

Hummingbird zoomed past Heron as soon as the race began. He flew so far ahead that he lost sight of her behind him. He slowed down as he passed a patch of wildflowers. They smelled so sweet that he had to stop and look at them more closely. Hummingbird just had to try some of their nectar. He drank until his belly was heavy and his eyelids drooped. Perhaps just a short nap, he thought, as he settled himself into a nest of soft leaves.

It was late in the day when Hummingbird woke up. He stretched his wings and glanced at the sky. He could just make out the shape of Heron, flying slowly but surely toward the dead tree. She was almost done with the race! Hummingbird zipped into the air and flew as fast as he could, but it was too late. Heron reached the tree first. From that day forward, Heron owned the fish, and Hummingbird lived on nectar.

In both mythical texts, greedy characters choose to try to trick or manipulate other characters. What is different about the experiences of the shark prince and Hummingbird?

Only Hummingbird's manipulation of Heron is discovered as he drinks nectar and naps.
Only Hummingbird's manipulation of Heron is unsuccessful because he drinks nectar and naps.
Only the shark prince's tricking of the fishermen is successful because he keeps eating the fish.
Only shark prince's tricking of the fishermen remains a secret as he keeps eating the fish.

Lesson 4.04

Instructions

You will research an environmental activist organization. You will communicate your findings on the Environmental Heroes: Anyone Can Be One worksheet by writing a reflection paragraph and sharing what you learned about using images with your words by choosing two media formats to include with your paragraph.

Step 1: Choose one of these environmental advocacy organizations to research. You are welcome to research another environmental organization that protects one of your personal passions. (Right click on the link below and then Open hyperlink OR use the links on the last page of the 4.04 lesson)

WildEarth Guardians

Friends of the Everglades

The Rainforest Foundation

The Marine Mammal Center

Ocean Conservancy

American Farmland Trust



Step 2: Visit the organization’s website, and use your detective skills to answer the essential questions below. You may find some important information at the “About” or “Our Mission” section on the website. Search to find the following information and record your findings in the chart below:



**When you record information from research, write it in your own words. Do not copy the words from your source. It is easy to get a thought in your own words! First, read the paragraph. Next, turn away from the computer and explain aloud what you have just read without referring to the original text. What you explained in your own words is what you should record in the chart below.



Essential Questions

The Answers

What is the name of the organization?

When were they founded?

Why were they founded? (This information may be found in an “Our Mission” section of the website.)

What do they actually do?

What are their goals? (This information may be found in an “Our Vision” section of the website.)


Why is their work important?


Step 3: Write a five to seven sentence informational paragraph about the important work of the organization you have selected. Use the information you recorded in the chart above to help you write your paragraph.

[Text Wrapping Break]Write your 5-7 sentence informational paragraph about your organization explaining how they help the environment HERE:

Tips: Remember to include a topic sentence at the beginning of your paragraph. A topic sentence should restate the question and include the name of the organization. **All information should be in your own words. No portion of your paragraph should have copied words from the source you researched.





Step 4: Choose (or create) TWO different media formats that will portray the mission of your organization. For example, on page 7 in the lesson when you learned about the Loggerhead Marinelife Center, they used multiple media formats to portray the goal and mission of the organization. You only need to choose TWO.

Examples of different types of media formats are: Maps, organizer charts, graphs, pictures, hand drawn illustrations, audio, and video

Place your TWO types of MEDIA here:
