I could use this image to display how tiger cubs depend on their mothers to survive. They follow everything their mothers do because that is all they know at the time.

I'm not sure yet how i could use this but i like that it shows a lone tiger cub which could help my claim of their dependence at early ages.

I might use this picture to portray how a mother takes care of her cub.

I might use this to show that a mom is vital in the growth not physically but maturity in a tiger cub.

I could use this one to show the importance of how a mother's discipline is important in the development of its' cubs.

I could use this photo to show the need of a mother in order for cubs to learn how to hunt their prey.

Not sure how i would use this one, but i think it shows the relationship between a mother and her cub well.

Homework March 29

For my audio slideshow i would like to focus on mother tigers and their cubs and how the near extinction of tigers affects them. Mainly focusing how hard it is for tigers cubs to survive in a world where they are constantly being hunted, and how a cub can be affected when growing up alone.

Research Protocol

For my field research i will be observing tigers at either Lincoln Park Zoo or Brookfield Zoo and hopefully will be able to talk to either a zoologist, wildlife ecologist, or biologist as well. I choose this because i find that not only hearing from an expert but actually observing it myself would be the best research to do for my project and will also help me to establish better credibility. I will go to the zoo and observe the tigers for maybe an hour or so. After doing this i will talk to someone from either of the three professions i mentioned above about the tigers behaviors being in captivity. I want to learn about if tigers go extinct in the wild and the only tigers left are ones in captivity how their behaviors will affect how they react to changes that bring them back into the wild to rebuild the wild tiger population, and how it will affect future generations of tigers.

Homework Response 3/18

A printed essay should be formal and a podcast more casual. Also printed essays should go more into detail. These differences occur because when writing it should be more formal and it is easier to go into detail with statistics and such because the reader can easily go back and find the exact spot they need without any trouble. Also it is written so that people can easily go back and make notes while podcasts are made to quickly inform and maybe lead to sources that will go more in depth like written essays do. With podcasts they can be more casual because it is more like an everyday conversation you would have with someone, not too casual though avoiding slang and using proper grammar are a must, if not credibility is lost and it becomes too informal.
