Scholars compare and contrast two informational texts about Poison Dart Frogs. A brief vocabulary review and discussion lead the way to a two-part close reading—the first reading for gist the second reading for details. Followed by a close listening of a text, learners chat with their peers and apply their new-found knowledge to complete a group Venn diagram. A homework assignment extends the learning experience.
