Build Background
- Have you ever been to a national park or a famous outdoor landmark. Encourage them to share their experiences. Discuss why people might want to visit these special places.
- What do you enjoy about being in natural environments? ... forest, ocean, desert, and so on.
- Explain that natural structures are sometimes so amazing and beautiful that they fill us with wonder and make us ponder how they were formed. Ask students to share a time when they may have experienced a feeling of wonder when in nature.
Think-aloud: To summarise what I’ve read, I decide what’s important and what isn’t. Then, in my mind, I organise the important information into a few words or sentences and think about them for a while. Then I retell the important information in my own words.
