Organisms Text Discussion

Organisms Text Discussion Rationale

Context: I did this in the Spring of 2008 in GS-4401 for Jeff Goodman. I brought in the book entitled, "Tops and Bottoms" by . This story of course has organisms because not only does it have various types of plants, but there is a bear and rabbits also.

Impact: This assignment allows me to describe evolution to young children in a non-threatening way.

Alignment:

Standard 7 Indicator 7: I have met this standard by using this book because it has allowed me to use an interdisciplinary approach to introducing this topic and has allowed me to connect all of my students' subjects.
NC- North Carolina DPI Elementary Education Specialty Area Standards
