Focus on Frogs

Students spent the afternoon researching frogs.  Their job was to find basic frog facts (characteristics, habitat, diet) by reading the book Those Fabulous Frogs.  With a partner, they had to read the book and pull out important facts.  We tried to find the difference between "basic facts" and "interesting facts." For example, a basic fact is: Frogs have strong back legs to help them jump.  An interesting fact is: A frog can jump more than 20 times the length of its body.
