You Tube Video

The above music video can be found on you tube (a video sharing site). This video looks like a children's show because of the animal characters and animation, but may be inappropriate for a younger audience. The video contains a strong environmental message, refers to humans as being enemies and is opposed to eating meat. The video also has some moderately strong images of the way humans treat animals, and uses the term 'make love, not war'. The video also suggests that the animals might seek revenge!!
For older children, however, this video could be an engaging way to begin a SOSE unit that explores environmental themes, and the different perspectives and groups involved. The video could also provide a good writing stimulus, particularly if wanting students to write from different points of view (perhaps as one of the animals). The video could also be a good way to introduce different writing purposes and styles, such as persuasive writing.
What do you think, would you use this video, or is it too controversial ?
