This NF book is so fun! It has many facts about all different animals and how they see. This teaches students about animals but also how everyone and everything can see things differently. This would be a great RA and SR.

LaurenR ESOL Strategies: #12-teach to two objectives, language and content. #45-use Venn diagrams to contrast and compare activities. You can do this by comparing some of the animals in groups or pairs. #UCFLAE3414F17 (edited) 7y
LaurenR Scholastic provides some fun projects with this link. UDL Principles: 8.3-foster collaboration and community. 9.3-develop self-assessment and reflection. All of these can be done through the Venn diagram activity used along side the ESOL standards. 7y

This N PB is a good IR for students to explore this fun, factual information. This book is one of many in the “What If You Had...?” series by Sandra Markle that allows readers to image if that had chameleon, eagle, dragonfly, and many other animal‘s eyes. It provides scientific information about the animal‘s eyes along with a fun illustration of a child with those eyes. It is a great way to engage students in quality nonfiction. #ucflae3414f17

CaseyL http://sandra-markle.blogspot.com/2017/08/eye-spy-what-if-you-had-animal-eyes.ht... this will bring you to the author‘s blog where she provides a great lesson on choosing and writing about your favorite animal eyes. UDL 6.2 support planning and strategy development can be used to help students plan out essay responses to Markle‘s prompt. EL 5 teach technical vocabulary supporting key concepts is used to help with the scientific vocabulary. 7y
