This is the story of a gator named Alli and a heron without a name. They form an unlikely friendship as they follow a thinning river in search of a new home. A tale of fishing and friendship created specifically for grades K-3. Some teachers worry addressing climate science in their classrooms will be considered political. However, there is no need to proselytize. By presenting scientific data and information from multiple sources and a variety of perspectives, and encouraging curiosity and critical thinking, educators empower students to develop their own understanding of complex topics.
“Because each of us is directly plugged into the planet, the actions we take – or fail to take – profoundly influence earth’s systems.” — Mike Weilbacher, Executive Director Schuylkill Center for Environmental Education

Intended Learning Outcomes
After experiencing ALLI AND #3, students will understand how human activity negatively impacts the natural world and that living things must adapt and/or migrate to survive. Students will be able to:
Explain the difference between weather and climate. Offer examples of different types of habitats and organisms found in those habitats. Understand that human activity causes changes in the environment, Offer examples of animals adapting and/or migrating to survive adverse circumstances. Understand how cooperation can lead to solutions to problems that would be impossible to achieve individually.
Alignment with Core Standards
Our education programs are designed support student learning across multiple content areas. The table on the next two pages outlines how the activities in this study guide align with Utah State Board of Education Core Standards in drama, language arts, science and engineering, library media, and health education.
Utah State Board of Education’s Core Standards for drama are organized into four strands: (1) Create, (2) Perform, (3) Respond, and (4) Connect. Strands 3 and 4 are organically and thoroughly integrated into your students’ experience with ALLI AND #3. To help students meet standards in strands 1 and 2, we have included our free playwriting curriculum PLAYWRITING WITH YOUNG PEOPLE by Julie Jensen as an appendix to this study guide (see pages 23-24).
