Suggested lesson plan for
"Kids at "junior keeper" camp for wolves"

Possible hard words:

Proper names: George Krachenfels, Wolf Sanctuary, Wild Canid Center, Dr. Marlin Perkins, Shannon English, Noah Howerton, Tyson Research Center, Liz Steinacker, Notre Dame High School, Purina Mills, Rendezvous with the Wolves

Other words: conservationists, extinction, supplement, vicious, sanctuary, abandoned, camouflaged

BEFORE READING: Have the young reader read the list of names and words. Provide help as needed, but keep track of how many times help is provided. If no more than three items require your help, ask the young reader to read the article silently. If four to six items require help, have the child read the article aloud to you. If seven or more items are problems, you offer to read the article aloud. Note that questions will be raised in all three of the cases.

DURING READING: For the silent reader, offer to supply help if asked. For the one reading aloud, supply words fairly promptly in order to keep the reading fluent. If you read aloud, model fluent oral reading.

AFTER READING: Use questions such as the following to check comprehension and stimulate discussion of the article.

  1. What seems to be the main purpose of the Wolf Sanctuary?
  2. Why aren't the kids allowed to get close to the animals at the sanctuary?
  3. What is a "wolf howl?"
  4. Would you be interested in attending "Rendezvous with the Wolves" in October? Why or why not?
