Who's Afraid of the Big Bad Wolf?

Ranked #26 in Pets & Animals, #751 overall

Gray Wolves were taken off the Endangered Species List

How do you feel about Gray Wolves? What do you know about wolves in general? In the Wolf Unit Study you can learn about the anatomy of these fascinating canines, where they live, their distinctive features and how they raise their young as well as the ways that wolves are being protected from extinction.

Each of these hands-on learning activities will help your children gain a better appreciation for wolves while learning to read, write, and observe. We will be learning math and science related to the wolf theme as well as the history and folklore associated with wolves. History has not been kind to wolves and their near extinction testifies to that.

What can we do to save the Big Bad Wolf from extinction?

The Wolf Unit Study

Let's learn about wolves!

Today we will begin our unit study on wolves by talking about the relationship between each of the members of the family in a wolf pack. While discussing, begin to list words that the children might need to spell when writing about the wolf pack. Words on this Word Wall might include:

male, female, wolf, pack, wolf pack, pup, canine

Wolf Bulletin Boards

Write each of these words with white chalk on black construction paper cut in the shape of a wolf. (Spraying with hairspray will fix the chalk.) Mount these words on a bulletin board with a snowy open field scene as a background. By attaching the wolf shaped word cards with black push pins the children can take them to their desks when they need to spell a word and then reattach them later. Be sure to keep a supply of paper wolves handy for adding more wolf related words as you discover them.

Next I lead the children over to the reading nook which has been converted from a Lemming's , River Otter's, Woodchuck's, Frog's Den or Bird Blind depending on the unit we studied before. The children discover that the den now has a stack of books about wolves. I also include a pack of stuffed wolves for cuddling with while reading. I tell the children that our wolf pack loves to have stories read to them and that during silent reading time they will be able to read to one of the wolves.

Let's take a trip to the far north where we will follow three new wolf pups. From the den they were born in we see the three wolf pups as they begin to grow and begin to explore the wider world. Notice how the passing time is expressed in number of weeks at the top left as you turn each page. There are also sentences written in italics that tell what might be happening at that time in the world of the reader with a small picture illustrating it on the opposite side.The large central picture and text show us how the wolf pups are progressing.

Wolves and Venn Graphs

Comparing Wolf Information

Venn Graph of WolvesWhen we finish we talk about the difference between fiction and non-fiction and make a Venn Graph to describe the similarities and differences between the wolves as they are portrayed in different stories.

Which stories of wolves are fiction and which are non-fiction?

Ask the children to show the point in the book that they are talking about in order to help them learn to check their facts. Post-it notes are perfect for keeping track of where they found the information without having to write in the book.

As you reread the story on other days, children may find other similarities and differences to be added to the Wolf Venn Graph.

Venn Diagram comparing Wolves

Wolf Venn Graph

I read many stories about wolves throughout the day and throughout the Wolf Unit.

Children are encouraged to read stories on their own, to take books home and to listen to stories about wolves on tape.

Each day we take a few minutes to review what we have learned and to compare the different versions.

A Venn Graph can be introduced to show how certain elements are in one wolf story, other elements are in the other story and some elements are in both stories.

Wolf pawprints make a beautiful decoration around the edge of the Venn Graph as a border.

You might also like to have your students try creating their own Wolf Venn Diagram with this Venn Diagram Creator. After researching wolves, your students may create their own Venn Diagram by inputting information into the program. They will then be able to print a copy to add to their research journal or included in a book they may be writing about wolves. If your children have Internet Access at home, this activity might be included as a possible activity in a Wolf Literacy Bag.

Use the overhead projector to blow up a picture of a wolf to life size. Draw around the outline of the wolf on a large piece of paper or cardboard. You may wish to make two or more cutouts to use them for measuring distances in Wolf Units. Laminating the wolf cut outs will make them last longer.

Measuring in non-standard units is one of the skills listed on most state standards.

Wolves were once abundant over much of North America and Eurasia but now inhabit a very small portion of their former range because of widespread destruction of its habitat, human encroachment of their habitat, and the resulting human-wolf encounters that sparked attempts at total extermination.

The gray wolf is, however, very adaptable. Gray wolves reproduce and expand in areas where allowed and are regarded as being of least concern for extinction.

Today, wolves are protected in some areas, hunted for sport in others, or may be subject to extermination as perceived threats to livestock and pets in other areas.

A pack of wolves (K-4) stands in a circle with optional dress-up of fake-fur tails and fuzzy ears. Half the kids are sitting to show population balance. Kids sitting down from the beginning are wolf pups ready to be born. The teacher reads the shuffled cards and begins to call out the scenarios.

If it is a decreasing scenario, one wolf sits. If the wolf population increases, a wolf stands up. This continues until either the entire wolfpack dies and the wolf population is doomed, the wolf population sky-rockets until no-one else can stand up, or whoever calls out scenarios runs out of cards.

The gray wolf (Canis lupus) is also known as the timber wolf or wolf. They measure 26-36 inches high and weigh 70-150 pounds.

To understand these numbers we use an overhead projector to blow up an outline drawing of a wolf to the measurements given. We then trace around the outline on poster board and cut out two wolves. We use these wolf cut outs to measure distances in wolf units.

To understand the weight we fill a gunnysack with 70 pounds of beans add ears and a mouth and let the wolf hang out near the rug as a pillow for silent reading time.

History of Wolves

Why are Wolves Endangered?

The Great American Wolf
After the French and Indian War, Wolf pelts were in fashion for winter coats and the skin was used to make shoes. As a result, between 1780 and 1799, 330,000 wolves were killed in North America. This was the greatest number of wolves killed in this short of time on the continent.

Wolves had already virtually disappeared east of the Mississippi.

After 1800, wolf pelts became practically worthless.
Wolf History - Eradication of the Wolves
The change from a hunter/gatherer way of life to one based on farming and herding started about 12,000 years ago, and since then wolves and humans have been colliding in many parts of the world.

In Europe, many forests were cut down during the Middle Ages to be replaced by forms and fields, and wolves lost their natural homes, driven to seek prey in human areas of habitation

Wolves are coming back...

Wolves are coming back and their numbers are increasing. Their encounters with humans are more frequent.

Many people may never have seen a wolf in real life but with the increase in populations and the reintroduction of the species in National Parks all around the country, wolves may soon be living in your neighborhood.

It's time to read and learn more about wolves.

Save the Wolves!

Save the Wolves

Sign the petition to Save America's Wolves.

America's wolves need our help!

America's wolves were nearly eradicated in the 20th century. Now, after a remarkable recovery in parts of the country, wolves are once more threatened.

In the Northern Rockies the federal government has put forth a proposal that could lead to the slaughter of hundreds of wolves in Idaho and Wyoming. Even Yellowstone wolves could be shot on site if they wander outside the park's boundaries!

In Alaska state officials continue to allow airborne gunners to kill hundreds of wolves. Easy targets against the snow, hundreds of wolves have been shot from above or chased to exhaustion and then killed by aerial gunners who land and execute them at point-blank range.

In the Southwest misinformation and anti-wolf sentiment runs high, with wolf recovery in Arizona and New Mexico limited to a defined area if the wolves set up territories elsewhere, they are captured and returned.
Defenders of Wildlife continues the fight to promote common sense wolf management, working with federal and state officials and private land-owners to ensure that science, not politics, guides decision-making about the future of these American icons.

Environmentalists want new wolf recovery plan
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. -- Environmentalists say the federal government's current plan for re-establishing the Mexican gray wolf in the wild is outdated and legally invalid and petitioned the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to revise it.
Gray wolves leave Wash for Mexico
Six female Mexican gray wolves left Wolf Haven International, located north of Tenino, on two separate flights to Houston, Texas, and then onto a charter flight to Mexico.

Their final destination is a wolf facility called the Amigos Del Desierto De Coahuila.

"The goal is to breed these genetically rare females at the facility, depending on the needs of the program, in order to augment the population," said Wendy Spencer, animal curator at Wolf Haven.

The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources said two men have admitted to shooting an endangered gray wolf by mistake, thinking it was a coyote.

"There aren't many wolves in this part of the state. It's very uncommon," Department of Natural Resources Warden, Robert Stroess, said.

"The ones that come through are not ones that are going to be living here. They're looking for territory or a mate," Stroess added.

Officials announced Thursday, February 21, 2008 that Gray Wolves would be taken off the endangered species list. How has that news effected the wolf population in your area?

Wolfygecko says:

@mike Have you realised that wolves are intelligent creatures that feel pain, just like you? I agree to mercy killing them, ie. Wolf having injured XXXX, going to die anyway. But SHOOT? TRAP? Why are you even POSTING on this site just to say we should continue shooting something that has JUST been put out of the endangered list. Think this way: They just got off of the endangered list, right? The thing is, people like you will shoot them again until they will become endangered AGAIN. I feel your choice is strange, as they are beautiful creatures. I, personally, think they can be smarter than humans at times. Please, if you value yourself, value wolves too. We are all related to wolves if you go back far enough.

TheHealthGuy says:

I don't believe all life is sacred. But the choices were limited. Personally I feel the Gray Wolf is one of natures most magnificent creatures. There has been NOT one incident of a wolf attacking a human in the United States in almost 200 years. Everyone wants to kill wolves and let gangbangers live. I think we have our priorities mixed up. Let's open an extended hunting season on gangbangers so I can have some fun and leave the stately wolf alone.

TayTay(Wolfy)~ <3 says:

What happened to the Wolf and Coyote? Wolves don't deserve to die, they live to survive, kill one, you're no good than killing a human. Animals were here first, why do we treat them as though they are crap and desere to die just for thier natural instinct? If you were starving what would you do! A gun to thier head, is one step to a death of regret in the reincarnation or afterlife.(Depends on ur religon, i belive reincarnation). If you let your kids wonder, then ur no good, i never went anywhere as a kid without an adult, when a dog attacked my brother i was there and so was my brother, my dad simply shooed him off, no shooting(big rottriler...don't know if he was friendly or p.o.ed.. he looked cute) Make a better fence for your cattle, at least if one is picked off you know somone enjoys your food. Don't be ungrateful to them, without wolves, your movies and modern books wouldnt have had werewolves or wolf's anything. Just think about it, if it's eating your face off then yeah that might be the time to shoot it in the paw or something, but just because, i'd call you a bast**d. And this is coming from someone who loves thier fears. If you're a godly person, no body was created equal, cuz if you murder nature, your a good for nothing scumbag. NA d i hope you get stuck as a human agaiin, you don't deserve to be an animal in the next life, not after what ou say and talk crap about them. Sure cows and pigs and chicken are good, but that's all that should be killed. and deer if you're that kind of person up north, or country...i do not know, im a city person who longs the cold woods just to see what is waht i consider the best animals(no offense, its just in my world). Let wolves natrual predetors take care of em, and stop polluting. GZive the frikin land back to them, cuz they were here first! Native americans had the right idea, they al least asked the soul. -Wolfy<3

DickeyDido says:

Absolutely! I don't approve of hunting because to me it's just killing just for the thrill of it. In that regard I'm not your average Texan. About 20 years ago I had two hybrid wolves who were the most interesting animals I've encountered. Great lens by the way.

Shea says:

Wolves are life and they have families like humans do. If we kill them, their pack will die off, especially if its an alpha in its pack. Then their population would decrease anyway. Just think of it, we may not realize it but, THEY HAVE LIVES!!!!

Allie says:

Wolf will be protected
they are perishing do to the simple crime of scapegoating. farmers take a one dead calf. ONE calf. then they go out and murder a 20 wolf pack. hope you enjoy that DEATH burger because thats it really is.. Murder & Greed
not to mention the War on wolf puppies......

Alex McGregor says:

response to Lukafer2: that's a social construct, people don't cry for a dead spider because theyre not raised to it, not because of percieved inequality of species

Alex McGregor says:

I honestly don't know how an animal that has been exterpirated from more than half the continent cannot be endangered, I think it's just a classic case of people making an excuse to kill for fun, did you know that in the calvinist church it's illegal to hunt animals? not because of any sentiment for the animal, but because of the corruption ond inhumanity it breeds in people.

wolfprotecter says:

You monsters all ready killed all the nfld wolve what else do you want!

No, You have to protect cattle, pets and children.

pyngthyngs says:

Wolfs do a pretty good job of protecting themselves

mike says:

Per say Treaty agreement we will shoot and trap Wolves as we did before the start of illegal immigration in 1492!

M_S_Beltran says:

It's not that I don't think they should be protected, but before we can stop any wolf population control in attempts to keep wolves from attacking people and decimating other animals in a region, we need to change how we live. If we were to truly let the wolves survive, we need to not only stop expanding our own territory, but maybe give back some of it to the wild.

lukafer2 says:

responding to mic: I can guarantee that you do not really beleive that all of gods creatures are created equal. I bet you would cry a lot more if your pet dog died as opposed to your pet spider.

Native Americans call the full moon that rises in the cold January nights the Wolf Moon. It is a time of year with long cold nights when wolves can be heard howling and a time to tell stories of wolves around the fire. As the wolves return from extinction, will we again become afraid of them or will we begin to understand them better and appreciate wolves for the magnificent creatures that they are?

Full Moon Names and Their Meanings :: Farmers' Almanac
Full Wolf Moon - January Amid the cold and deep snows of midwinter, the wolf packs howled hungrily outside Indian villages. Thus, the name for January's full Moon. Sometimes it was also referred to as the Old Moon, or the Moon After Yule. Some called it the Full Snow Moon, but most tribes applied that name to the next Moon.
