Genre: Informational, Photo Essay
Age Level: 4-9
This picture book
told the story of a chicken from egg to adult.
It started by telling about the egg and continued to tell about the
different stages of a life cycle for a chick.
The text used digital photography
to show real life pictures of the lifecycle
(see pictures below). This text is a biological
science book because it gives factual
information on the lifecycle of a chick
I cannot wait to
use this text for our upcoming unit on lifecycles. My children will be excited about all the
real-life pictures. They will also enjoy
the vibrant colors and text features used in the text.
Ideas
for teaching/comprehension strategies that can be used with this text: I plan on using this test as an introduction
into our unit on lifecycles. This text
is great for introducing text features
(see pictures) as the text was full of headings, bold type, italics, index and a glossary. I would also love
to challenge children to create their own book about a lifecycle of a plant or
animal.
Questions to pose:
Which part of the book is your favorite? Explain.
Did you like this book? Why or why not?
