6 NATURE STUDY AND LIFE 



throughout the book. But two general considerations 

 belong in this connection. 



At this point introduce an easy coordination with lan- 

 guage and writing by asking the children to make a list 

 of all the animals, wild and tame, that they know. Let 

 them write "tame" and "wild" in separate columns and 

 number each as they go along, thus :

1 Ask the children to underline the names of animals about which they know any facts 

 or a good story. These may be used for oral language lessons, and the teacher can find out 

 the extent of the children's knowledge and will thus be able to correct what is false and add 

 to what is insufficient.
