Instructional Ideas
- As mentioned in the lesson, give extra time for pupils to read the play and practice their parts; however, allow this time for all proficiency levels, not just those below grade level
- If more than eight learners are interested in acting, perform the reader's theater again on another day
Classroom Considerations
- The twelfth item in a 17-item series covering the topic of ecosystems
- Class members should be familiar with the cycle of matter
- Typos are visible but do not take away from the overall understandable of the text

- Incorporates collaborative learning strategies
- Lesson plan is detailed, easy to follow, and includes notes to make for a smooth administration
