About This Lesson
This is a guided reading lesson plan that I created for 3rd grade AIS reading students. I paired the book Panda Patrol with a section from the Magic Tree House Fact Tracker Pandas and Other Endangered Animals called "Whooping It Up".After reading these texts, the students completed a writing assignment (ELA test prep) comparing the work of the scientists in both Nature Reserves preparing animals raised in captivity to be released into the wild.
