Task 9. The State of Our Skies
Work with a buzz partner. Answer the given questions as a pair. Be ready to share your answers
with the class. Write your answers on a half-sheet of paper.
1. Recall the conflict in the three legends you read and the issues about the ozone layer.
What are the similarities or differences that they share?
2. How do you think would the characters in the legend adjust to the current environment
where there is a hole on the ozone layer? How do you think would people like you live in a
world where the sky is low?
3. Recall the associations you presented in Task 1 (My Multi-Layered Sky). Since the ozone
layer is roughly a layer of the sky, what could a gaping hole in the sky symbolize?
4. What three realizations have you made from the discussions in this lesson?
YOUR FINAL TASK
A Better Me, A Better World
Remember that our actions always have consequences. This is reflected by the three legends
and the texts about ozone layer destruction. Be more aware of the effects of your actions by writing down
a list of ten resolutions: five of which should be personal, while the other five should concern the
environment. Write these in bulleted/numbered form. Use simple sentences for your resolutions. A one-tothree-sentence
elaboration of every resolution should be included. Consider the example below. Do this
on a whole sheet of paper. You may add relevant drawings and photos to your work. Be prepared to read
your work with the proper intonation pattern in class.
Example: I will jog once a week.
Who doesn‘t want to be healthy? I need to shed off 5 pounds to meet my ideal weight target.
