New Anthology Theme

Our new Anthology Theme is "Nature: Friend and Foe."  In class, we started by doing an activity called "Surprise Book."  Students waited in anticipation and made predictions while a picture representing the theme was uncovered.  They were asked:
In what ways do you interact with nature?

How does nature affect your life?
How do you affect nature?
Why do you think this theme is called Nature: Friend and Foe?
How does the picture show both sides of nature?
Next, we did an activity called "Stand Up/ Sit Down."  Students had to decide whether a certain picture of weather represented nature as a friend or foe and had to be prepared to say "why."

  1. I liked when I stood up even though it wasn't a friend so i could challenge my brain to think of one for a friend.
