How the lesson starts: Ask and Answer Questions About a Speaker

  1. Reporter Juno

    Meet Juno the giraffe, star reporter for the Savanna News. Today, Ranger Tomas gives a talk about sea stars. Juno listens closely. Then she asks a sharp question to learn something new.

  2. Ranger Tomas's talk

    Listen to Ranger Tomas. Sea stars live in the ocean. Most have five arms. If a sea star loses an arm, it can grow a new one. Sea stars eat clams by pulling the shells open.

  3. Let's sort the questions

    Juno sorts her questions. How many arms do most sea stars have? The talk already said five. How long does a new arm take to grow? How do sea stars move? New and useful! What is for lunch? Off topic.
