How the lesson starts: Describe Clearly When Speaking

Zola on the news
Hi friend! This is Zola the giraffe. Zola is a news reporter. She tells her friends about fun places. She uses true details. Details help friends see it in their heads!
Look closely
Zola is at the park. What does she see? Count with Zola. Two trees. Three ducks. One dog. Those are true details!
Let's pick two details
Which two details belong in Zola's park report? I see two trees. Count them. Yes! I see three ducks. Yes! I see five dogs? Count again. Only one dog. I see a lion? Not in the picture! I like pizza? Not about the park.
