We read
Owl Moon in reading class. The children wrote retells for the story after having the story read aloud to them and then reading it silently. The children used a rubric to assess their retells. Then we shared them anonymously and graded them as a class using the rubric.
We read other articles about the Great Horned Owl and listened to owl calls on the internet. Then the children wrote owl paragraphs including two similes in their written pieces. Later, they painted owl pictures using the technique of the illustrator in Owl Moon. On Friday, we dissected owl pellets to try to find out what the owls ate. The children recorded their observations in their science logs. It was fun learning about owls!
