Lesson Plan

Reading for Details: Taking an Inventory in the Rainforest (Pages 28–31)

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Take inventory. Scholars analyze pages 28-31 of The Most Beautiful Roof in the World and use a note catcher to model how Meg Lowman took inventory of the species in the rainforest. Learners then take a close look at the vocabulary in the section and sort the words into columns that tell if the term describes what or how.
