2. Values Integration

    What would you do if you see ants carrying food?   Why?  

    What do you do to the animals around?

3. Analysis and Discussion

How will you describe the ant?

What is the main idea of the selection?   Which sentences give the

details of the main idea?

Sets of words are presented.   Let the pupils analyze them.

4. Generalization

Small ideas have a common quality or are similar in some ways

thus, they belong to one idea.   In organizing ideas, all small ideas

which belong to the main idea should be grouped together.
