A Helpful Refresher!
I chose to review this interactive e-book before planning a lesson on insects for the second grade class I was student teaching in. I enjoyed working through this e-book not only because of the extremely informative content but also because of the interactive components and the frequent check-ins. I am currently a junior in college and it had been a while since I studied most of these topics. The information was detailed and accessible and I was able to learn so much about ecosystems, species relationships, and more. After completing the e-book, I felt a lot more confident in my knowledge base before preparing my lesson. I felt like I was able to retain so much of the content because of the "check your thinking" opportunities, one question reviews, and the short quizzes at the end of each Science Object. These helped me stay on track and reinforce key ideas. Overall, this resource was an engaging way to rediscover concepts that really helped me plan and deliver my lesson.
