Commentaire descriptif

Early readers and read-aloud audiences will be captivated by “the biggest deer in the world.” They will learn that a male’s antlers “can be more than six feet across” and that the Yukon-Alaska moose weighs as much as 1400 pounds. This book is clearly divided into brief chapters. Each page describes a particular aspect of a moose’s body, behaviour or habitat in simple, straightforward prose. This book is an ideal resource for students conducting research for school projects. Complementary facts and subject-specific vocabulary words are set in boldface type or italics at the bottom of the page for easy reference. The bordered spreads consist of spare text on a white background accompanied by large close-up colour photographs on the facing page. One of the Amazing Animals series, the book ends with a story from Native American folklore (explaining how a moose’s behaviour caused catfish to have flat heads), an index and a page of recommended age-appropriate books and websites. Suggested moose-related projects for children are also included.

Before reading, use a KWL chart to identify what you already know about moose and what you want to learn. 



: The moose is often mistaken for which animal depicted on the Canadian quarter? Create a Venn diagram comparing moose and caribou.

:

Create Did You Know? fact cards about moose. Read the cards aloud, then post them around your school.

:

Name animals, other than moose, that give birth to calves (e.g. dolphins, cows, camels, reindeer).



:

Create math questions about moose: estimate how many antlers would fit the width of your classroom. Compare answers with your peers.

Before reading, use a KWL chart to identify what you already know about moose and what you want to learn. 



:

Write five interesting facts you learned about moose and present them to your classmates (Did you know that moose have . . . ?)
