Book of the Week: Deadliest Animals

Educators often ask me which of my books would work best in their classroom. So this year, I’ve decided to feature a book each week and highlight related teaching materials and strategies.

After Deadliest Animals was selected for the Columbia University Teachers College writing program called Units of Study (masterminded by Lucy Calkins), I wrote a series of thirteen blog posts describing how I researched, wrote, and revised. So that it’s easier to access them all at once, I created a pinterest board called Creating Nonfiction Step by Step with links to all of them. 

Enjoy!
