Animals and Habitats: Supplemental Guide 4A | Animals of the East African Savanna Habitat 81
I am going to ask a question. I will give you a minute to think about
the question, and then I will ask you to turn to your neighbor and
discuss the question. Finally, I will call on several of you to share
what you discussed with your partner.- Evaluative Think Pair Share: Would you want to live in the
savanna? Why or why not? (Answers may vary.) - After hearing today’s read-aloud and questions and answers,
do you have any remaining questions? [If time permits, you
may wish to allow for individual, group, or class research of
the text and/or other resources to answer these questions.]
Word Work: Predators/Prey 5 minutes
- In the read-aloud you heard that, “[Giraffes] have long,
powerful legs so that they can quickly run away from
predators.” Giraffes are prey for lions. - Say the word predators with me.
Say the word prey with me. - Predators are animals that hunt and eat other animals.
Prey are animals that are hunted and eaten by other animals. - In today’s read-aloud, lions are predators and giraffes are
prey. Lions are predators because they hunt and eat other
animals. Giraffes are prey because they are hunted and eaten
by other animals.

the prey.”] - What are the words we’ve been talking about?
