Stuarts Cape Craft Lesson

The part of the book that I really enjoyed was when the exotic animals did not like that Stuart was pretending to be the them, so they come and live the day like Stuart does. I think that this is an important lesson for a child to learn. This could occur with the older kids of fourth or third grade. I would have the children to research on an animal of their choosing. They would need learn the way that animal lives and what that animal typically does during their routine. Like what they eat, where they sleep, do they live in packs. These are all questions the children need to be able to answer, because they then are going to write a paper about if they were a animal, what would their day consist of. The students paper would be in first person as if they are the animal, and write a story about what they did for the day. They would incorporate all the facts they researched.
