Activities related to the book:
Remembering - What do honeybees collect to make honey? Where do the find this item?
Understanding - Students will explain the partnership between flowers and honeybees. For example, students will explain that flowers provide honeybees with nectar for honeybees to eat. The honeybees carry the flowers pollen to a new flower. At the new flower, some of the pollen rubs off and pollinates the new flower creating seeds.
Applying - Students will write what they have learned about honeybees from the reading. Example provided below.
Analyzing - Students will compare and contrast honey in history and honey today using a venn diagram. Venn Diagram provided below. (50 Literacy Strategies by Gail Tompkins)
Evaluating - Students will argue the importance of honeybees to our ecosystem and support the argument with factual details from the text. For example, Honeybees are important to our ecosystem because they pollinate 1/3 of the crops we eat.
Creating - Students will design a television commercial detailing the dangers to honeybees and ways to protect honeybees.
