Race the Wild: Savanna Showdown

Hi All!

    Race the Wild: Savanna Showdown is the last book in the Kristin Earhart ecosystem series. Similar to the other books in this series, this book delivers ecosystem and animal interactions in a great way.

    This book series is most appropriate for students in grades 2 4. A brief overview of this last book includes the last leg of the four-leg race. The Red team continues its journey through the African Savanna. The team comes across many different animal species but also shows an inner conflict amongst the characters. This story is great to use for character development and problem/solution.

The main ideas students can take away are:
1.     The greatest migration on land.
2.    The African Savanna food chain interaction.
3.    Wildlife facts on the aardvark, cheetah, leopard, giraffe, termite, wildebeest, Nile crocodile, and more!
4.    Ngorongoro Crater and how it supports life in the savanna.

    This book is worth the read and I highly recommend this series. If you are interested I did complete a literature unit on this book as well as the others. The literature unit focuses on comprehension, character traits and development, fact journals, maps, persuasive writing, and more.




    These are some pics from the unit. If you are interested please click on this link: Race the Wild: SavannaShowdown.
