Prediction
After I read the part about Frog giving Toad a seed I want my students to come up with different predictions about what they think Toad will do with the seed. I will record these predictions on the smart board so that we can refer back to them when we need to.


 * Purpose:** For my students to think of all the possibilities there is when one has a seed.

__**Research to Build and Present Knowledge standard 8:**__ With guidance and support from adults, recall information from experiences or gather information from provided sources to answer a question.

Post-It Notes
As I read the story I will have my students alert me when I read something that had to do with Toad trying to get his seeds to grow, or when the text mentions something that a real plant might need to grow. I will provide all of my students with a few post-it notes so that they can document it in their textbooks too.

__**Purpose:**__ To have my students recognize the different ways Toad tried to get the seeds to grow, and to also recognize that the text states facts by including elements that an actual plant will need to survive.

Even though in our notes for Keli we have that he was not taught regular subjects, but taught about the activities for daily life, I feel like there will be a great chance that I could have a student like him with the push for inclusion the way it is. The way he understood his environment was by hearing so I would make a podcast of the ways that Toad used to grow his seeds, and the facts from the book about how to really get a seed to grow so that ater class discussion is over he can still listen to what we talked about.


 * __Key idea and details standard 1, and 3:__** Ask and answer questions about key details in a text, or Describe characters, settings, and major events in a story, using key details.
