Writing Connection
Writing another episode
Say: I want you to think back to our discussion about the patterns in the story. Remember, Caribou Man first followed the ptarmigans, then rabbits, then seals, before finally becoming a caribou. I want you to think of another animal that he could have followed and write another episode. Use the book to help you with the format. Be sure to include what the animals said to Caribou Man to discourage him from staying with them.
Science Connection
Have children use the library and the Internet to further research either caribou, seals, or ptarmigans. Have them present their findings as an information report.
Reading Independently
Invite children to reread the book, Caribou Man, independently or with a partner. They could then look for and read other books about folktales from different cultures. Children should also read each other’s new episodes and the information reports that they prepare.
