  four legs, it has soft wool, etc.]

• Tell students that the next nursery rhyme they are going to hear is
  called “Little Bo Peep.” The character in this poem is a girl called Bo
  Peep.


• Ask students, “What is Bo Peep doing?” [Have students act like they
  are looking for something.]


• Ask students, “Can you guess what she is looking for?” Call on two
  students to answer.


• Tell students, “Tell your partner about a time you looked for something
  but could not find it. What were you looking for? How did you feel
  when you could not find it?” Allow thirty seconds for students to talk.
  Call on two volunteers to share their experience.


• Give students Response Card 15 (Little Bo Peep) from Instructional
  Master 8A-1. Have them point to the character of the poem—Bo Peep.
