Worldwide Endangered Species List

A valuable resource for the classroom! But make sure you have several large binders and several boxes of page protectors.

Endangered Plants List

Endangered Animals List

The endangered animals list was 164 pages long when I printed it on September 13, 2010; today it is 173 pages long.

World Religions and Death

I am writing this post in August 2022, not in June 2014.

I don't feel comfortable having it be a new post, that will go into everyone's inboxes who subscribes, so I went back and found an old post that could be combined with something else (Galápagos George by Jean Craighead George moved to the Worldwide Endangered Species List post).

Ironically, a book about extinction is a story about death.

This, however, is about world religions. I have a student in the 2022-2023 school year who has requested a block on religions of the world and how they care for their dead. I think it will be really interesting! I'm not entirely sure why I don't feel comfortable writing about it more publicly, but there you go. There's just something about death. We don't really talk about it in school -- or in society, for that matter -- except the Holocaust and 9/11. And for both of those things you have to get parent permission in advance.

So as I wrap my mind around this topic, I'm going to keep a list of resources here:

Design for Death: The Story of an Invisible Wound

Design for Death: Momtomb

Design for Death: The Last Stone

Urn for Memorial Ceremony on Water

Design for Death: Aerial Urn

Design for Death: Shell

Design for Death: Kanso

Design for Death: Last Fold

Design for Death: Cocoon

Design for Death: Gaia

Design for Death: Seed

Design for Death: Mushroom Death Suit
