This book with work well with lessons on climate change or sustainable living, focusing on formulating questions to find information. Use of World Book for articles about climate change, or Culturegrams to look at the geography of this particular area.

# data[].attributes.body
We think this book could also tie in with 4th or 5th grade science and geography, i.e. the study of tornadoes and "Tornado Alley" as a gepgraphic region of the US
There is information on tornadoes and "Tornado Alley" in World Book Kids

# data[].attributes.body
We think this book would tie in well with community hepers, i.e. Who in this community helped to re-build? Who in our community would help us re-build if we ever experienced a natural disaster like an earthquake?

Use standard #2 - formulate questions and use keywords from questions to find answers.
Create a chart as a class of questions they have/things they wonder about after reading the book. Create lists of keywords for further exploration. With WorldBook and projector try out the different key words to see what kinds of information you can find re green buildings, sustainability, etc.

Focus on Sustainability
2. Brainstorming prior knowledge (tie in education outside experience) Shared reading of  WB article on the term "sustainability"
4. Using Green City to assist in developing  key words related to "greening" of a community for our future research.
Students form break-out groups to explore further articles from WB "Related Information" (6. using text features in a source) jigsawing back what they find.

7. Use visual information from YouTube

How does a Midwest town recover from a devastating tornado? When that town is Greensburg, Kansas, it returns to its pioneer roots and rebuilds sustainably. In "Starting from Scratch," Correspondent Lee Patrick Sullivan looks at how Greensburg residents used the destruction of their own as an opportunity to literally live up to the town's name.

This book would work well for 3rd graders, and would be great to connect with lessons on climate change or sustainable living.

Having students look up keywords that they generate may be challenging on World Book Kids because they may not get any results.  So instead we could guide them to look up terms we know are there and then show them how to use the "more information" tab to expand their searches or pursue new/other interests related to the topic.

Spiral 2 learning outcomes:
1. Identify prior knowledge and experience of the topic
2. Use the library catalog & databases to search for resources

Lesson ideas:
1. Read aloud (not every page - too long for one class)

Focus on tornadoes:
2. Use Britannica database to research about tornadoes, video clips, map of tornadoes, graph of tornadoes (how many, severity, etc.), page on Greensburg, KS tornado & school in book
3. Before & after photos

Focus on environmentally friendly construction/adaptations for homes:
1. What would you do to make your home green in each room (compare with your home & city)
2. Mapping
