Interdependence of Life- 10/10 Resource!
I am a pre-service teacher in my Junior year of college. For an assignment, I completed
a lesson plan about adaptation in a general sense. I struggled with what to include and what not to include in my lesson as adaptation is such a broad concept. Let me tell you, this book was SO much help and I could absolutely see myself using it in an elementary school classroom in the future! Not only was the information presented in an engaging way, with pictures and examples, but also the interactive pieces of the book were simple to navigate and helpful for comprehension. While the language in this book may be a bit sophisticated for elementary school students, the information is easily adaptable and helped me as a teacher plan a lesson as best as I could. Additionally, the interactive pieces helped me plan helpful comprehension questions to guide my discussion about adaptation to the students. I think now more than ever, it is important to engage students in interactive online readings, rather than readings. Even as an adult, I struggle to keep focus with online readings, however, an interactive E-book like this helps students (and teachers) be engaged and focused during online readings! It helps ensure comprehension with the "check-in" quizzes and chapter quizzes at the end of each chapter; it ensures the reader is on track to understanding the book. Overall, I loved what this E-book added to my lesson and would absolutely recommend the use of this book to any pre-service or in-service teachers!
