If a tiger could speak to us what might he tell us about his world?
October 2020: We worked with the Library staff in Luang Prabang to create Tiger dioramas referencing our information from the World wildlife fund Teacher resources on Tigers. The learning intention of this work was to focus upon the impact that the destruction of the tiger's natural habitat has had on their declining numbers... as well as the illegal wild life trade and poaching. We wanted the participants to gain an understanding of the interrelation of all of the environmental factors that impact upon the tiger habitat and how this information can be shared with Teachers and children in the Village schools and community centres in which they work through an engaging art/ craft and science activity that works. All of the participators created a diorama of the Tiger habitat with the animals that are part of the tiger domain, paying particular attention to the jungles and grasslands and the animals that are part of the Tiger's food chain.. We then used a traditional Laotian tale about 'The Tiger that eats toads' to create a narrative or a play using the jungle animals created.

We used the diorama scenes and animals that we all made and turned them into the text. The Library staff in Luang Prabang will create the narrative text using their own images... that's what we plan to do next.
