Birds with Code (Outdoor Hunting Guide)
Author/Actors/Director/etc.: Pamela McDowell
Format: Library Binding
Publisher: Weigl Pub Inc (2012, Aug 1st).
Pages: 24
Gr 2-4-"Hunting is pursuing animals in nature. People hunt animals for food or sport." Like templates for Common Core instruction, these volumes survey their subjects with glances at history, techniques, and gear of their respective activities, along with profiles of the most common types of animals hunted and their habitats. They back up the informational content with color photos, discussions of responsible hunting or fishing, research suggestions for crafting a written report, brief mentions of relevant careers, and even generic but challenging recipes for turning game into roasts or other dishes. Supplementary audio, video, and other materials for each title are available on a dedicated website. The level of specific detail is thin, but the great diversity of the approaches used in this set certainly enhances its pedagogical potential. more
