Describe the material:
This is a resource book for teachers and parents of high achieving and gifted students. It allows the students to study 10 different animals that are typically thought of in a negative way. Using the levels of Blooms Taxonomy and higher level thinking, the children are exposed to and research interesting information that reveals how useful these animals are in the web of life. The book includes a variety of activities using most of the levels of the Multiple Intelligences. I am a gifted Education facilitator and these activities would be highly recommended for enrichment and some gifted programs, depending upon the focus.
Skill(s) that the material seeks to develop: Creativity Critical Thinking Research Skills
