to answer these remaining questions.]

- Show Image Card 5 or students may use Response Card 5.
- Remind students that the animals and people in the story are called
characters. Have them say the word character with you. - Have students identify the characters from today’s read-aloud.
- Tell students that you are going to make a chart to help them
understand the difference between real and make-believe, or fantasy,
in today’s read-aloud.
Note: Explain that you are going to write down what students say, but
that they are not expected to be able to read what you write because
they are still learning all the rules for decoding. Emphasize that you
are writing what they say so that you don’t forget, and then tell them
that you will read the words to them. - Make a T-Chart on chart paper, a chalkboard, or a whiteboard. Label
the left-hand column “Things That Animals Really Do” and the right-
hand column “Things That Animals Can’t Really Do.” Have students
generate lists for both columns, recording their suggestions in the
appropriate columns.
