Mrs. Steele's Corner

Learning Target: We are reviewing main idea and supporting details.

We are going to listen to the story, Ivan: The Remarkable True Story of the Shopping Mall Gorilla. But before we do that, I want us to check out this video about gorillas.

Video


Think about this:
·      What did you learn about gorillas?
·      What do they eat?
·      Where do they live?
·      What do they look like?

Now that we have learned a little about gorillas, we are going to listen to the story, Ivan: The Remarkable True Story of the Shopping Mall Gorilla. As you listen to the story, think about how Ivan the gorilla is different from the gorillas we saw in the National Geographic video.

Listen to the story here



Take a look at the two-column notes. I filled in the main idea section that Ivan was different from other gorillas. Think to yourself, how was he different? Fill in as many supporting details as you can on how Ivan is different from gorillas in the wild.
