Parent Guide > Grizzly Encounters with Bears

This week in class, we’re reading "Grizzly Encounters with Bears" by Jacqueline Pratt-Tuke.

In "Grizzly Encounters With Bears," Jacqueline Pratt-Tuke describes problems that occur when bears and humans have contact.

As we read, we will be discussing the themes of America and Human vs. Nature as they relate to the text. We are trying to answer these big questions :

"How has America changed over time?" and "How do we view nature?"

Ways to support your child:

• Ask your child about this informational text at home:
  • What was "Grizzly Encounters with Bears" about?
  • What did you learn about America?
  • What did you learn about Human vs. Nature?
• Watch the following clips with your child at home:
  • 'How to Avoid a Bear Attack - Bear Safety When You Travel'
  • 'Grizzly Bears in Yellowstone National Park'
  • 'Grizzly Bears: The Fierce Predator of the North | Nat Geo Wild'
