Teaching Ideas:
Nonfiction summarizing activities will work well with individual chapters; note-taking, outlining, or other study skills may also be taught. From a content perspective, learners may want to compare information about loons to information about other water (or land) birds. Discussion about why loons are the oldest living species of bird may also prove interesting. Map and math work is possible within a discussion of migration. web sites: www.gorp.com/gorp/ppublishers/fulcrum/loons.htm, www.cws-scf.ec.gc.ca/hww-fap/loons/loons.htm, www.petersononline.com/birds/bwd/features/0497%Dloon.html.
