Ways of Thinking As you discuss the text, make sure children understand these teaching points: Thinking Within the Text Thinking Beyond the Text Thinking About the Text We look at many different animals in a rain forest. Most of the animals move in their own way, but two animals can move in the same way. Animals are different from one another in some ways but are the same in others. An animal can move a certain way because of its build and features. The photographs show how some rain forest animals move. The writer uses the words Mira la/el to introduce each animal. The author s purpose is to inform readers about animals in the rain forest and how they move. 2006. Fountas, I.C. & Pinnell, G.S. Teaching for Comprehending and Fluency, Heinemann, Portsmouth, N.H.
