$18.00
The One and Only Ivan by Katherine Applegate is the Newbery-award winner inspired by the true story of a gorilla who lived for many years as part of an exhibit in a shopping mall.
When a young elephant becomes part of the exhibit, Ivan makes a promise to save her from a life in the shopping mall. What will he do, and can he succeed?
With our Read-Aloud Poster for The One and Only Ivan you will:
- collect gorilla facts
- create a story timeline
- add details to animal habitats
- listen for the author's use of gorilla perspective
Of course, we've also included Read-Aloud Poster favorites: discussion questions, reader evaluations, and character portraits!
Extra fun: We've put a new spin on a favorite activity - animal silhouettes that will get you started on portraits of the animal characters, which you can then cut out and place in on the poster according to text details.
Age recommendation: We think this book is best for ages 9 and up, but you know your family best! Be aware that this can be an emotional read and includes content related to animal cruelty and death; if this sounds like too much for your sensitive readers, we suggest you pre-read for yourself to determine appropriateness.
Digital Poster Note: This Read-Aloud Poster, Animal Silhouettes sheet, and accompanying Activity Guide are digital downloads, so be sure to provide your e-mail on the checkout page! You’ll receive the files in a separate e-mail from SendOwl Downloads. You will have a limited number of downloads. Please save to your computer before opening on another device.
For help with choosing your poster size or printing your file, click on the links. In order for the animal silhouettes to maintain scale, we recommend following the print size recommendations provided in the Activity Guide. The poster itself is designed to be printed as a blueprint at a commercial printer, not printed at home.
Always true: Posters don’t come with a copy of the book; check your library, bookstore, or choose an audiobook. You decide!
