Teaching Ideas:
Since the text sets up a contrast between land and sea, teachers may want to refer to other books in the nature text set to talk about life on land, especially Kitchen's And So They Build and When Hunger Calls. Sections on specific sea creatures could be excerpted easily. www.nationalgeographic.com/rwa
