Animal Behaviors

Essential Question: What behaviors help animals survive?

In this module, students will listen to, read, and view a variety of texts and media that present them with information about animal survival.

A genre focus on nonfiction provides students with opportunities to identify the author's purpose, central idea, and text structure in order to better understand unfamiliar texts.

As students build their vocabulary and synthesize topic knowledge, they will learn more about the way animals utilize behaviors and characteristics, or traits, to help them survive.
