Where did the falcons go? Scholars read the article Welcome Back which describes the disappearance of falcons due to the use of pesticides. During a second read, learners annotate the text by marking unfamiliar words and facts about falcons. They then work in triads to write a sentence to summarize each paragraph and discuss the text's relationship to Frightful's Mountain.
