Award-winning wildlife photographer Jim Brandenburg shows and tells the story of the American prairies, which once swept for thousands of miles but are now an endangered ecological treasure. The stunning photographs and unforgettable written memories inspire readers to respect this uniquely American landscape. |
Teaching Ideas: |
Students could use maps to find areas Brandenburg refers to; they could also write for more information to the organizations listed in the appendix. Possible text sets include prairies, nature, cameras/photography, westward expansion. The story of Brandenburg's success as a photographer could be part of a careers unit. Information about controlled fires could be used with newspaper or magazine accounts of the same.
