Dry Storeroom No. 1: The Secret Life of the Natural History Museum | Richard Fortey

This is my book haul from Friday at a library book sale. Wodehouse, Maugham, Didion, and Fortey are all new-to-me authors, even though I‘ve heard much about them. I‘m a big fan of Mary Roach so I‘m looking forward to Packing for Mars. I think I‘m going to finish her back catalog before I get to Fuzz which I believe was her newest one.

Bookwomble I really like Fortey. I've read Trilobite! and The Earth: An Intimate History, which are both fascinating. I've had Drystore and Life: An Unauthorised Biography on TBR for years, and should get to them, really. He's done some TV presenting, and is very personable. Hope you like him, and the others you snagged 😊

Dry Storeroom No. 1: The Secret Life of the Natural History Museum | Richard Fortey

Last weeks virtual tour of the Natural History Museum (7 postcards in 7 days) lead me to Professor Richard Own - the ‘founder‘ of the museum and a dinosaur expert with a knack for plagiarism !

The Dinosaur Expert | Margaret McNamara

This RF picture book by Margaret McNamara and illustrated by G. Brian Karas would be a great book to discuss famous women and their achievements as well as Dinosaurs! Kimmy loves dinosaurs and knows a lot about them, but on a trip to the natural history museum with her class a boy tells her that girls can‘t be scientists. After this she becomes shy. Will anyone be able to make her open up again? Maybe the class teacher, Mr.Tiffin, can!

CPettersen This book would best be taught using an RA. UDL strategies 2.7 and 3.1 should be utilized to teach students prior to or after reading the story about dinosaurs and famous woman archeologists. Also EL strategy 29 should be used to allow students to go and look up topics further for increased exploration and learning. #UCFLAE3414f19 https://www.teachingbooks.net/clp.cgi?master_id=62058&lf_id=9 (edited) 5y

haleyklein This looks really good! I can‘t wait to give it a try! 5y

DrSpalding This would be an excellent book to read aloud. It teaches science concepts through quality children‘s literature. Please do this in your future classroom. 4y
