1. No awards
2. Kindergarten to 3rd grade
3. This informational text has the perfect amount of text to it. It isn’t too brief or too extensive. It gives background information about koalas, relatives of the koala, what they look like, where they live, what they do, their babies, what they eat, predators and prey and koalas and people.
4. This is a super informational text! I feel like I actually learned a lot about koalas. Not to mention, the pictures were super cute!! I like that they included a section about koalas and people rather than just focusing in on koalas the whole time.
5. Make a glossary out of one of their writing pieces, write a page on what I learned about koalas
