And, if you never give up, you will get better and better with practice. 1. Show students an empty box and ask, If you looked into a box and saw a cat, what you would see? Answers will vary: four legs, furry, nose, ears, tail. If students are having trouble visualizing and describing show them the picture of the cat. Help them to focus on the physical description not sounds they might hear! 2. Could that same description fit a duck? Why? Why not? Describe how they are the same and different? Answers will vary as students compare and contrast a duck and cat s physical features. 3. We re going to read a story about a cat and a duck who want to be friends. Do you think that would work? Why?
