Brief Synopsis: This is a story about the different fish in the sea. It explains the different types of fish in the tropical sea. It also mentions where the fish are found and what they do. For example it consists of twleve different types of fish that surround the reef.
Theme/Skill: Tropical fish survive in the sea/Fish Species/Science.
Pre-activity: Discuss with the children that different types of fish live in different types of climates to survive. For example saltwater or lakes.
Post-activity: I would have the students write two facts about their favorite fish that was mentioned in the story. They would then draw their favorite fish that they wrote about and share it with the class.
My Refection of the book persuading people to read it:
This is a great science book about fish. It has great in-depth pictures of fish for the children to enjoy! I also liked it because it is a non-fiction science story, which is hard to find for the elementary level students. I feel this story motivates children to learn!
