Snakes may be one of these topics. After reading the books for this project I developed many ideas for teaching this topic. I was able to set aside my personal feelings and remember that I am doing this for my future students. I will have students in the future who may love snakes and find great joy in the books I selected here. I may also have students who have the same feelings as I do and need to broaden their views on snakes.
Many teachers say that science is their least favorite subject to teach.
I feel that if you have children s literature to support your science topic, it will be much more appealing to you as well as to your students. As I was searching for books I was imagining what I would do with the books in my classroom. I pictured a unit on reptiles, or a unit on predators. The books mentioned in this project could be used to supplement any unit involving snakes. If you are presenting a unit which may incorporate many different animals, the books for each animal could be displayed in the classroom.
