Possible questions to explore together:

• Why was Jane feeding bananas to the chimpanzees?

• Was it safe for her to be working in the Gombe Forest?

• Why are chimpanzees captured illegally? Who captures them and what happens to them?

• Are chimpanzees dangerous animals?

1.Discover the reasons why Dr Jane Goodall began researching chimpanzees in Africa. What conditions did she have to contend with and how did she manage her research? Why were her findings questioned by the scientific community? Do you believe she was brave to undertake this work? Construct a journalistic account to present your research. Find ways to publish and share the information with others but first you might want to identify your audience.

2.Discover the reasons why Dr Jane Goodall established the Jane Goodall Institute. What programmes does the Institute manage in Africa and also internationally? What are the purposes of her Roots and Shoots Programmes? How can you become involved and which animal would you work to protect? Decide upon a project that will help your local community and its environment? Identify any local conservation groups who might already be working in your area. Construct a persuasive argument or journalistic account to present your research and ideas. Find ways to publish and share your work with others but first you might want to identify your audience.

3.Research information about chimpanzees. Construct a few guiding questions to help focus your research. What is it you would specifically like to learn about these animals? Why does Dr Goodall consider them to be 'ambassadors from the animal kingdom to the world of humans'? Construct a persuasive argument or journalistic account or even a game to present your research and ideas. Find ways to publish and share your work with others but first you might want to identify your audience.

4.Dr Goodall is a United Nations Messenger for Peace? Who awarded her with this title and what work does she do in relation to fulfilling this very important role? Do you consider this role to be an important one for her and how can she connect this with her chimpanzee conservation programmes? Construct a persuasive argument or journalistic account to present the proposed methods and possible solutions. Find ways to publish and share your work with others but first you might want to identify your audience.

5.Create a story ending for Where's Willy Whalley that is a realistic peace-building ending or create your own story using animals from your region in a similar story. You can choose to create alternative endings as has been done in the story examples or create one realistic ending that is peace-building. Find ways to publish and share this story with others but first you might want to identify your audience.
