Teaching through Trade Books: A Habitat Is a Home
Fri, Nov 03, 2017 10:21 PM
Article Review
I really enjoyed reading this article. I liked how they gave two trade books and two full lessons on how to teach habitats to students. The lessons were easy to follow and seem very engaging for students. I also liked how the first lesson was more specific to the younger grades while the second lesson was more for the older grades. I think there is a lot of good ideas that would be beneficial to add into the classroom. I am about to be teaching a few science lessons about habitats in a kindergarten classroom. I am eager to see if I can incorporate some of these ideas into my lessons.
Methods and Strategies: Teaching About Animals

Article Review
This article discusses how many teachers have misconceptions about what they think their student may or may not know about animals. There were a few things I found interesting about this article like learning about the results of the study, where they asked 15 people to list 20 different animals. It discussed how most people listed mammals over other types of animals. I think that doing something like this is helpful to understand the differences between what people consider as animals. What I wish this article had more information about though, would be on how to incorporate this research into the classroom.
