A clever guinea pig repeatedly outsmarts the fox that wants to eat him for dinner. Krebs, Laurie. Up and Down the Andes: A Peruvian Festival Tale. 2008, 9781846862038. A lively trip through the Andes mountains of Peru on the way to the festival in Cusco. Both books are rich in new vocabulary. Below are lists of terms likely unfamiliar to many students. A vocabulary anticipation guide is provided, as well as a Vocabulary Analysis page. The Vocabulary Analysis page provides opportunity for students to infer meaning from the context. Be sure to have students check the information at the back of both books. Ask students to watch for words that appear in both books. And remember the covers! A retrieval chart, What is Peru Like? Is designed to assist students in analyzing and categorizing the information available in the two stories. Students should gather information from both the story and the pictures. In the process of analyzing the illustrations, a blank grid placed over each page helps students to isolate ideas and assists in the development of geographical thinking. Use the blank grid provided to make an overhead for each student. Students will use these blank grids many times in the process of analyzing pictures. Ask students to identify things that are the same in both stories – they might even want to compare them using a Venn diagram.
