[MOSAIC] Non - Fiction Lesson

[Kevin Kleinert]

Hi Group

I have a good one for you!  The Audubon Society of Florida has a magnificant 
webcam focused on a pair of bald eagles with eggs ready to hatch!  This is 
one of the best animal webcam views I have ever seen!  It has no time delay 
and is really close.  My students have really enjoyed watching the birds.  I 
know I can't take my eyes off of them.  I just knew I had to turn this into 
a reading lesson.  Good time to teach reading non - fiction and identifying 
the elements.  Gail Gibbons "Soaring with the Wind - The Bald Eagle"  If you 
have time to do a great read aloud and then leave the webcam image up all 
day, you'll create great discussion about bald eagles and couple it with the 
elements of non - fiction.  HAVE FUN!  I launched the webcam view into 
Windows Media and put it on a large monitor.  What a great teaching day!
