Frame (ELA) What animal, if any, would you like to have as a pet? What are your reasons? Does your preference for one pet versus another tell us anything in particular about you? When we know what characters like or dislike in stories we are able to make better connections to them. Think of some things you’d like to know about someone in your class. How about a character in a story?
Focus (ELA) People have different reasons why they like being at the stable and working with the horses there. Listen for the many different reasons people give. Think about what we learn about these people as they talk about horses.
