A logger cuts down a beautiful forest because ! he is totally selfish

and inconsiderate and cares nothing for the habitat of animals or

the preservation of our woodlands.

He does this so he can make a profit of £200. What do you think of

this way of making a living?

Topic for class participation after answering the question: How did

the birds and squirrels feel as the logger cut down their homes?

(There are no wrong answers. *

*If you are upset about the plight of the animals in question

counselling will be available)
