Owl Moon is a children’s book written by Jane Yolen and illustrated by John Schoenherr. The book tells the story of a young girl and her father who go owling on a winter’s night. This unit can be used to teach elementary students about the natural world and to develop their reading comprehension, writing, and observational skills.
In Owl Moon, a young girl joins her father on a silent walk in the winter chill to spot an owl. They don’t always find an owl on their walks, but they always have hope.
Owl Moon is a book that can be used for many different grade levels. You can explore literary devices, math activities as well as art and music.
This comprehensive unit includes general comprehension activities to check understanding as well as some lessons to create an interdisciplinary unit beginning with the reading of this classic Jane Yolen book.
By the end of this unit, students will have developed a deeper understanding of the natural world, improved their reading comprehension and writing skills, and gained an appreciation for the beauty and mystery of the nighttime world.
