• In the story, there are many animals.
Some live only in the water, some live
on the land, and some live in both.
• We can remember information about
the animals if we remember the ways
they are the same. We can put
animals that are alike together. This is
called classify and categorize.
Classify and Categorize
In the book, all the animals live in a cold climate, but not all of the animals can go
onto the land. Penguins and seals can go on land and in water. Why would whales
not belong in that group?

Main Idea
What was If You Could Go to Antarctica all about?
(the continent of Antarctica and what it is like)
Antarctica is icy and cold. Antarctica has penguins, whales, and seals, but very few
plants. There are few plants because it almost never gets warm enough for them to
grow. This is what the selection is all about.
Classify and Categorize
The animals in If You Could Go to Antarctica all swim, so in that
way they are the same. But in other ways they are each
different.
What kind of animal are penguins?
(birds)
Which animal in the book can lunge high out of the ocean and
then dive deep underwater?
(the whale)
