Seyia: “The African Black Rhino”

Description

This Writing Prompt Packet was created to support distance learning through engagement with the Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden’s Home Safari Programand to facilitate learning and meaningful conversation in families with children of a variety of ages!

It includes a summary of facts about rhinos, two kinds of brainstorming pages, 18 types of writing paper with various levels of adaptations and visual cues so that students across ages, grades, and abilities can participate, pictures to color, and all of the following:

• A link to Seyia’s video
• A summary of the facts shared within the video, to review with your child in a way they can understand
• Questions to ask your child(ren) to facilitate learning and meaningful conversation
• Links to learn how to draw a rhinoceros, for higher-level/aged kids
  My students LOVE learning how to draw new things. With step-by-step directions, you’re likely to be surprised at just how well they can! Page 20 purposefully includes a blank space for children to draw a picture before they write!

Keep in mind: Students who are working on typing can still use fact summary and brainstorming pages with you, and then TYPE a short, 3-5 sentence paragraph based on the information they learned!

Please, please, please… let me know what you think! I’d love your feedback. Also, please share pictures of your children’s learning-in-action and tag my Instagram Account: @colorfullyenthused
