I made this Study Guide so that my students can get all the information needed, plus work at their own pace. Student has finished the research section and is now working on connections to the story. You can download a preview of this study guide at my teacher store on Teachers Pay Teachers. To make sure that my students were receiving the instruction that followed the Common Core, I made a Study Guide. I don't think anyone is ever too old to read a story with beautiful illustrations. I didn't choose the book because of a certain grade level, I wanted my students to enjoy reading a beautifully illustrated book, with a clear sequence, and one that they could find details in the text to answer questions and new vocabulary words. The book is beautifully illustrated by Lucia Washburn. Jean Craighead George loved animals and this love comes through in all of her books. The Informational Narrative, Look To The North: A Wolf Pup Diary by Jean Craighead George is the sweetest nonfiction book that tells the story of three wolf pups as they grow up in the north. (Apr.Why I use Study Guides in my classes. I love reading about animals and I have always had students that love reading books about animals. Tender details sprinkle this fact-filled account (e.g., when the wolves dash over spring's new carpet of blue harebells, they do not step on a single flower, and when the lost, injured beta wolf is found, the pack tends to him until he is well). Youngsters will recognize bits of themselves: the pups play king of the hill, tug-of-war and football, and when they're bored, they ""jump on the baby-sitter"" they fight to find their places in the pack. George's (Julie of the Wolves Dear Rebecca, Winter Is Here) storytelling skills and first-time illustrator Washburn's realistic acrylic paintings bring the wolves' seemingly inaccessible domain utterly within reach. ""Wolf pups are being born."" When firecrackers ""shoot skyward,"" the wolves are learning to communicate through gesture and by marking with their scent.
""When you see dandelions turning silver, look to the north,"" George urges. This engaging device not only connects readers to an unfamiliar realm, but opens their eyes to their own environment.
While tracking seasonal changes in the lower 48 states, entries invite readers to ""look to the north"" to see what the wolf pups are doing simultaneously. This year-long chronicle follows three wolf pups born in Alaska's alpine tundra.
