This is a delightful picture book and an excellent pic if you're looking for strong science women reads for women's history month. The Illustrations are beautiful and the narrative is excellent and uses occasional quotes from Jane's books. #NonFiction #WomenInScience #PictureBook

“And when she went back to civilization to speak out for the chimps Jane carried with her a piece of the forest.“

Published in 2011, this children's book tells the journey of Jane Goodall and how she came to her amazing findings. Jane had dreamed about buying a ticket to Jenya, so she worked to save up to pursue her passion. She later would advocate for saving the chimps. A very good book for early readers, and beautiful artwork.

(Author/Illus: Jeanette Winter)
This B is a marvelous PB about Dr. Jane Goodall, the woman who lived with the chimpanzees and opened the door to understanding many aspects of them and the animal world that we never would‘ve known otherwise, as well as fighting to protect them. It is an inspiring story of a woman who always watched and observed the animals around her from a young age and worked hard to make her dream come true.

kgarzon This book can work for IR, for a unit study on significant women in science. Students can choose a person to research and use this PB as an intro to or resource for learning about them. This book also has direct quotes from Jane Goodall‘s autobiographies. https://thehomeschoolresourceroom.com/2017/02/13/diy-jane-goodall-and-chimpanzee... This has more books about her and online resources. 4y

kgarzon UDL Principle 6.3 (Facilitate managing information and resources) is demonstrated with how students will have to sort through the information they gather from their research.
EL Strategy 42 (Have students use timelines to arrange and sequence important facts and information) may be prominent for their research on significant events in an important person‘s life. 4y

DrSpalding I agree with using this book as an independent read as students research this amazing woman! 4y

#OctoberXFiles Day 19: Perhaps the chimps felt #SomebodysWatchingMe with Jane Goodall around 24/7. I was especially struck by how she described her first time to set up camp as part of her work with the chimpanzees. The story ends with Jane‘s advocacy to speak out for endangered animals, pleading with the rest of humanity to help save the forest that is their home. My review: https://wp.me/pDlzr-bxG

This B picture book follows the life and adventures of Jane Goodall. The book was named a Best Book of the Year by the Boston Globe, Kirkus Reviews, Booklist, and the Bank Street College of Education. This book would be good as a RA, SR, or PR.

juliek1 Lesson plan: http://www.theclassroombookshelf.com/2011/05/me-jane-the-watcher/ This lesson plan involves both ‘The Watcher‘, and ‘Me… Jane‘. I think it‘s always great when there is an opportunity to get information on a person via multiple sources. 6y

juliek1 UDL: 7.2 Optimize relevance, value, and authenticity; I believe it would be a great book to give students, because a good majority (if not all) have some love for animals. They would be able to understand the importance of Jane Goodall‘s work, and perhaps aspire to follow in her footsteps. 6y

juliek1 ESOL Strat: 12. Teach to two objectives, language and content; students would learn not only some new terms from the book, but also have a great lesson on Jane Goodall, who I‘m sure they would hear more about in future lessons, especially in science, and... 6y

juliek1 28. Provide biographies of significant men and women from different countries; Jane Goodall is from England - although they do speak English, there are still cultural differences that could be discussed. #ucflae3413f17 6y

The Watcher: Jane Goodall's Life with the Chimps by Jeanette Winter is one of my favorite children's biographies that explores the life of Jane Goodall and her extraordinary connection with chimps. This book is an awesome way to discuss endangered animals and the role us humans can play. #UCFWaltersLit

“I wish that when I was a little girl, I could have read about someone like Jane Goodall—a brave woman who wasn‘t afraid to do something that had never been done before. So now I‘ve made this book for that little girl, who still speaks to me.” —Jeanette Winter
