Lembras o filme Antárctida, da Sobrevivência ao Resgate, baseado numa história verídica que estudámos nas aulas curriculares de Língua Portuguesa, para debater os problemas das alterações climáticas e da protecção aos animais? Tratava também de um salvamento, mas dessa vez de oito Yuski siberianos. Quantos textos, em escrita criativa, escreveram! Alguns muito interessantes!

Pois aqui temos de novo uma história verídica, mas desta vez, para salvar baleias.

Campbell Plowden, na altura do acontecimento, activista de Greenpeace, descreve uma das mais loucas semanas do seu activismo durante catorze anos de apoio a Greenpeace. Este acontecimento verídico deu origem ao filme Big Miracle, contextualizando a verdadeira história. A fantástica campanha que teve como objectivo acabar com a caça à baleia e com os baleeiros.

💬Education

The film is now playing in the theaters in the United States. If you teach in the States, go to the movies with your students. It's based a true story, don't forget it.

Some years ago, we watched in the classroom another true story Eight Below about the rescue of eight Siberian Yuski in Antarctida. We loved so much!

After watching the video, in the classroom, we discussed the story, and done different activities on the theme. Some of us wrote lovely creative texts.
