morning. She can not wait to
go hiking with her dad.
Haiti is the land of mountains.
It is surrounded by long chains
of mountains.
Mountains: Landmass that
is higher than a hill.
Have you ever seen mountains before ?
Where?
If you were Anabelle, how would you climb the
mountains of Haiti? Use pantomine to
illustrate how you would climb the mountains.

the top of the mountain,
she is exhausted. She rests
under a tree. Suddenly, she
screams: “Wow, what a
view!.” From the mountain,
she can admire the plains.
Plains: Large area of
flat land.
