Owen and Mzee is a heartwarming true story about a young hippopotamus named Owen who was orphaned after a devastating tsunami struck the Kenyan coast in 2004. The story follows the unlikely friendship that developed between Owen and a 130-year-old tortoise named Mzee, who initially showed little interest in the young hippo.
The Reading Lessons and Interdisciplinary Activities Unit based on the book Owen and Mzee is designed to help students develop their reading skills while also exploring important interdisciplinary topics such as animal behavior, conservation, and African culture.
The unit includes a variety of activities such as pre-reading discussions, vocabulary development exercises, reading comprehension questions, and writing prompts. In addition to the reading and writing activities, the unit also includes interdisciplinary activities such as exploring animal habitats, creating art inspired by African culture, and conducting research on endangered species.
Overall, the Owen and Mzee unit is a great way to engage young students in reading while also promoting curiosity about the natural world and fostering a sense of empathy towards animals and their habitats.
