• Tell students, “Tell your partner what you see in this picture. How do
  you think this nursery rhyme will be similar to ‘Little Bo Peep’ and
  ‘Little Boy Blue’?” Call on two partner pairs to answer.


• Tell students that the next nursery rhyme they are going to hear is
  called “Baa, Baa, Black Sheep.”


• Ask students, “Why do you think the title is ‘Baa, Baa, Black Sheep?’
  
  
  • The sheep says “baa” and the sheep is black.
  
  
  
  


• Explain to students that sheep produce wool that people use to make
  blankets, clothes, stockings, and several other things. [If available,
  pass around items made from wool.]


• Give students Response Card 17 (Baa, Baa, Black Sheep). Have
  them point out the black sheep and the wool. Tell them to use this
  Response Card to refer to “Baa, Baa, Black Sheep.”
