The Lorax

On a cold rainy morning the year 7 cohort watched a movie called The Lorax By Dr Seuss. We watched it because it is part of our new kete which is about sustainability.

The big idea of the movie is to teach us that one person can make a big difference. Also it tells us that if something goes wrong someone else can fix it. Like when the Once-ler cut down all the trees, Ted planted another one with the last seed. The movie is meant to tell us various things. Another big idea is not to pollute stuff or you may regret it for a long time.

The author of this movie wants you to think about what you do before you do it. They want you to think about the fact that actions have consequences. Also that what you do can change the future. One small seed can create something big, like a tree.

Some of the key concepts I think are in the movie are. Environmentalism, pollution, social responsibility, sustainability, the lorax, trees and choices. I think these are all in the movie because the movie has these certain things in them.

This is the Lorax, he is talking to the Once-ler.

All the creatures in the film

This links to my life in a way by the fact I do bad stuff the the environment. When I do it is stuff like accidentally letting my rubbish blow away and not go to get it. Or pull out plants or weeds and leave them on the ground.
