The song “Old MacDonald Had a Farm” has taught generations of children about farm animals. Now the farmer’s granddaughter, Jo MacDonald, uses the traditional tune to introduce a forest community.
Lesson Idea:
Writer’s Workshop: Read aloud the nursery rhyme, “Old MacDonald Had a Farm” and then share Jo Macdonald Hiked in the Woods. Brainstorm a list of nursery rhymes with students. Ask students to re-write a nursery rhyme using different content. Use Jo Macdonald Hiked in the Woods
as a mentor text.
Disclosure: I received a copy of this book from the publisher for review.
