About This Lesson

Writing activities on an environmental/conservation theme linking to the children's book Alien Inspection by Cher Jones.

Blurb:

It isn’t every day that you find an alien in a freezer at your local supermarket. So, imagine Mac’s surprise when that alien, Zalot, sets him the challenge of saving the world.

Zalot has been sent by the Zergonians to inspect the Earth. They’ve been watching how we treat our planet and they are not impressed. Either Mac proves that the human race is worth saving, or we will be wiped from the Earth forever.
