Annie and the Wild Animals
by Jan Brett
Our class really enjoyed reading and discussing Annie
and the Wild Animals by Jan Brett. After much discussion, the students decided they would like to make a riddle page about the different animals. They then realized it might be a good idea to do some research to find out more about them. Working in small groups, they used a variety of sources to learn moreanimal books, zoo magazines, posters, encyclopedias and the Internet. Each group completed a table of facts about their assigned animal.Topics chosen included the classification of animal (mammal),habitat, description, food and other. From their table they composed clues for
the riddles. Finally they |
