Reading Response Log: Nature and Science Books for Natural History and Wildlife

Rationale:

Welcome to magical world of Natural History and Wildlife! In this paper, I will introduce five examples of children’s nature and science books where the doors of imagination and wonder will open as explore the depths of the oceans and rain forests to the high sky and cold climates. These books show the different type of environments and climates that are world has and gives an opportunity to the reader to explore the lifestyle of the wildlife that in them. One book portrays the depths of the oceans and seas and how they function and what purpose they serve to our existence. Another book is explains the secrets and wonders of South America, where it holds some of the world’s most beautiful landscapes and deadliest creatures. The species of birds is brought to life through a book that gives a new appreciation to birds all over the world. Lastly there is book that goes to the corner of the earth to place called Southeast Asia. This book brings this mysterious land to life and unlocks the secrets of the crop land, diverse cultures and people and at the same time the creatures which no one in the world knows about until you see it for yourself.
These books are amazing resources and eye openers to the different climates, wildlife and cultures we have all around the world. My students will learn to appreciate and help take care of our planet by knowing what is out there and the functions of these geographic places. Youth today need to think outside the box and explore in other countries and engage in assignments which get their attention to have them take action.
Overall, I feel like these experiences that these students make by reading this book and interacting with them will broaden their minds to bigger and better things down the road in their education. My hope is to spark at least one young mind to take a stand and become a zoologist, environmental activist or really anything they want to do in their life. In the end I want them to remember that this assignment or this specific content area was what opens their eyes to the world.
I will present a nature and science book first, then a natural history book followed by two nature and science books and ending with a natural history book.
