New Ideas for Fossils - 2nd Grade Intervention

Make sure to check out the Books to Teach strategies page.  I've added a new pdf file with pictures from the book Digging up Tyrannasaurus Rex.  I thought they would be useful in teaching the learning targets:

I can show how pictures and images help explain a text.

I can sequence a group of historical events, scientific concepts, or technical procedures from a nonfiction text.

I can recognize and use text features to find facts and information efficiently: graphics, graphs, pictures, captions, tables, table of contents, index, glossary, bold/italics, titles, subtitles, icons, etc.

These pictures would be great to give kids to create their own captions and to sequence the procedures for moving a fossil from where it is found to the museum. 

Holler if you have any questions or to borrow the book.
