Editor's Notes
- I will read certain stories out of this book to my students. The book is very detailed and describes animals in their daily life's and habits. This can be used to pick out adaptations for animals. I will read them a story and then they will have to pick out an adaptation mentioned in the book and as a group tell me why that animal may have that adaptation.
- This book is a book that I can give my students as an extension assignment. They will learn about habitats and this book is on a level where most if not all the students in the class will be able to read this at an independent level.
- This book describes Giant Pandas in their everyday life and their characteristics. This book will be used to introduce the case study part of the unit. Each student will have their own animal that they will have to draw, classify and pick out adaptations for, I will model this process with the Giant Panda and the information from the book.
