3-5 Brief Description Students read selected poems from the book Beast Feast, by Douglas Florian.
Students identify at least two to three keyword facts about each beast highlighted in the poems.
Objectives Students listen for information. Explain to students that they must listen for the descriptive words or adjectives in several poems that you will read aloud. Tell students to write down the keywords used to describe the beast in each poem. Read each poem twice. Using one box per poem, students draw pictures of what they think the beasts look like by relying on the descriptions given in the poems read.
