African Cats: A Lion‘s Pride is a nonfiction book that focuses on a young lion cub named Mara and her daily life on the African plains. This book would be great if used as a partner reading because staying focused on nonfiction books can be difficult for students without help from peers. A website that has more information and videos in the book is https://nature.disney.com/african-cats. A great UDL principle for this book would be to provide

emilypalkovich options for recruiting interest since it is a nonfiction book and students may need help understanding the relevance and value of the story. An EL principle could be number 17: provide contextual support through audio visuals. The link has options for videos. #ucflae3424sp21 3y
DrSpalding One of your freebies! I like that you went straight to the Disney nature site. Wise choice. Nonfiction is extremely important due to the fact that 85% of what they read after elementary school will be nonfiction text. Nice job explaining how your English learner strategy aligns well with the resource provided. 3y

This book is a great RA book it shares the life of many Cubs and lions and other animals they encounter.
This book fits UDL 3.1 AND ESOL 9
A source I found that would be great is just using a chart before you read and after you read to see the knowledge gained on lions .

The cub has to work hard to keep up with her pride when hunting for food and searching for water. This story is great for independent reading (IR) because it is a simple informational story and continues... Check the comment section#UCFLAE3414SP21

StephanyNunez many students like to learn more about different animals and their habitat. The UDL principle for this story and resource is 7.1 (Optimize individual choice and autonomy). The website underneath can be used by students to further their knowledge about the lions. It also has lessons and resources for teachers K-12. https://www.nationalgeographic.org/projects/big-cats-initiative/education/ #UCFLAE3414SP21 3y

Adodd1 These books are a great way for students to dive into the real life of animals out in the wild! The ESOL strategy you have chosen goes great with your lesson. 3y
ztorres Yes, animal books are always a must to have in the classroom. Not only do kids love it, but helps to expand their knowledge of their world around them. Love the resource, national geographic always provides awesome videos and background information for kiddos. I love buying their books. 3y
DrSpalding Your image says it all! National Geographic can help students learn about other parts of the world and the animals that live in them. 3y
