​Think of a question you can ask your neighbor about the Read-Aloud that starts with the word who, what, where, when, or why. For example, you could ask, “What is the name for a frog after it emerges from an egg and lives in water?” Turn to your neighbor and ask your what question. Listen to your neighbor’s response. Then your neighbor will ask a new what question, and you will get a chance to respond. I will call on several of you to share your questions with the class.

Tell students that they are going to write a paragraph to explain the stages of the life cycle of a frog. Tell students that a paragraph that tells about something that is true is called an informational paragraph.
• Have students use the information heard in the Read-Aloud and the images on Poster 5 and/or on Image Cards 13–16 to orally review the stages of a frog’s life cycle. Encourage them to describe each stage, and to include any domain-related vocabulary. Emphasize that the life cycle of a frog goes from “egg to egg.” It is a cycle so it repeats itself over and over again.
• Have students turn to Activity Page 7.1 and refer to the enlarged version you prepared in advance.
• Review the structure of the paragraph you are going to write. Tell students their paragraph will have six sentences.
