Integrating the study of food webs and ecosystems with fictional and informational texts, Stambaugh, Fecht, and Mofield examine relationships among living things and the environment as well as interactions between literary elements in texts and visuals through exposure to accelerated content, engaging activities, and differentiated tasks for gifted and advanced learners in the second and third grades. Their topics include The Great Kapok Tree, art analysis, poetry analysis, overpopulation of wild boars, and biography study. Annotation ©2018 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR (protoview.com)

Interactions in Ecology and Literature integrates ecology with fictional and informational texts. This unit, developed by Vanderbilt University's Programs for Talented Youth, is aligned to the Common Core State Standards and Next Generation Science Standards. Students will research questions such as "Should animals be kept in zoos?" and "Should we kill spiders in our house?" They will examine relationships among living things and the environment as well as relationships between literary elements in texts through accelerated content, engaging activities, and differentiated tasks.
