End notes explain the phenomenon; learners may be interested in this. For more information, search on "Auroras" from Yahooligans. Stories of the northern lights could be compared to discover similarities and differences. Students may want to find places mentioned on a map or globe. The figurative language (particularly metaphors) could be extracted for study. The book could be part of a science unit about the natural world. |
