Classroom Considerations

• You may wish to create additional materials to support learners as they complete the additional activities
• It is a bit unclear what you are meant to do with the vocabulary cards; you may wish to put them up on a bulletin board for student reference

Pros

• Comes with vocabulary word and definition cards, a foldable for practicing with story elements, and a activity choice handout
• Requires pupils to predict, comprehend, retell, and extend the story 

Cons

• The definition of delicious reads something that taste very good, rather than tastes; you'll need to write in an s on the vocabulary card
