Draw Write Now Book 6: Animal & Habitats--On Land, Ponds & Rivers, Oceans
Animal habitats--the land, freshwater, and saltwater--are the focus in Book 6 of this educational series.
Learn about the speedy jackrabbit and his shrub land neighbors and climb high peaks with mountain goats. Then, splash with frogs in wetlands and swim with turtles in lakes. Next, explore shallow tiedelands with hermit crabs and herons, swim sunlit waters with dolphins and then plunge into the oceans' dark depths -- home of weird and wonderful sea creatures
Children use the books independently, or a teacher or parent may present the lessons. Each drawing lesson includes a colorful picture and step-by-step drawing instructions, while the writing lesson includes four simple handwritten sentences with handwriting guidelines. The teacher or parent may introduce letter formation or have the children copy the sentences for handwriting practice, using any alphabet style. The lessons are also used as a springboard for creative writing or report writing. A brief list of the 21 lessons in the book includes robin, monarch butterfly, jackrabbit, lizard, frog, salmon, eel, hermit crab, heron, shark, dolphin, angler fish. The series won the Teachers' Choice Award, is a regular recipient of Practical Homeschooling Reader Awards, and was selected one of the top new products at NSSEA Ed Expo 2001.
