A story for children at the upper elementary level, this book presents the debate
between environmentalists fighting to preserve the spotted owl and the ecosystem
of the Pacific rainforest and the loggers whose livelihoods are also at stake.


Through the reading of the novel, There's An Owl in the Shower, by Jean Craighead George, the students will learn about the endangered spotted owl and the ecosystem of the old-growth forests of the western U.S.  The students will then apply this knowledge and complete cooperative group research projects about endangered animals of the Adirondacks and along the east coast of the U.S. 

What are the issues that are brought up?
How is man altering the environment? Whose interests guide the decisions that
are ultimately made? What is at stake?
