Reflection on Captain Planet's Episode on Ganges River --- Term 3 Week 1 & 2

Dear Sec 1E/1N Geog Students,

Below is a video from an episode of a cartoon that I used to watch when I was your age entitled "Captain Planet". (I knew I wanted to be a Geographer even at that age! =) )

Since we are doing on the Ganges River these 2 weeks and I have shown you a 'preview' of how important the river is to the people living in the area, I want you to watch the video and then think about the questions that come after.

We will discuss the questions in class and those who do not participate in this activity seriously will have 'coffee' with me after school later during the week.



Questions to think about:

1) What are some of the activities do the people do in the river?
2) What kind(s) of pollution is/are described in the clip? (water, air, land?)
3) Where do the pollution of the river come from? (the people? the factories? both? any others?)
