Instructional Ideas
- Use the presentation as a model for learners to create similar slideshows about their own independent reading books
- Introduce the slides at key moments of the novel, or to provide prior knowledge at the beginning of your novel unit
Classroom Considerations
- The title of the slideshow includes the novel's themes, but the slides only address aspects of the book's setting and symbols; you'll need to augment with an extended discussion
- Final slide reveals Brian's rescue, so avoid this part if learners have not reached the end of the book
Pros
- Provides engaging photographs of the animals and wilderness that Brian encounters
Cons
- Does not offer much helpful information about the plot, characters, or themes
