Class assignment 1: Compare and contrast frogs and toads Students will need the venn diagram. You should print this ahead of time. You will find it under classroom handouts.

Class assignment 2: Using descriptive language Students will create a Wanted Poster. They must use descriptive language from their venn diagram to describe the character. A rubric can be found for scoring the venn diagram and the poster in teacher resources. Students will need a large piece of drawing paper for this assignment.

Class assignment 3: Life cycle of a frog Students label a life cycle chart. You will need to print the chart ahead of class time. You will find it under classroom handouts. The video is 13 minutes long. If you choose you can fast forward the video to the last 5 minutes. The video is not perfect quality, but still does a good job of introducing students to frogs and their habitats.

Class assignment 4: These are fun time activities to review their click and drag skills using the keyboard.

Class assignment 5: A Jumping Origami Frog Students will need a green piece of paper, NOT construction paper as it must fold easily.

Also included in your Classroom handouts is a Frog and Toad Are Friends Book Report. This is an optional activity.
