Be sure to use open-ended prompts. \n\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t<\/ul>\n\t\t<ul>\n\t\t<li>Ask students to talk about this open-ended prompt with elbow partners. Use one of the student suggestions and invite a volunteer to use the selected puppet to act out building the snowman.

I\u2019m wondering what I can do.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tShow the students a poem where a substitute poem is needed. You might use \u201cHippopotamus\u201d from <em>Bubblegum, Books, and Bugs<\/em>. Look through the puppet collection and offer an open-ended prompt to stimulate problem solving.<\/li>\n\t\t<\/ul>\n\t\t<ul>\n\t\t<li>\n\t\t\t<p class=\"speach-bubble speach-bubble-long left\">You gave me some good ideas. I could choose another poem where I do have puppets for the characters. I could pretend another puppet IS a hippopotamus or I could change \u2018hippopotamus\u2019 into another animal! Well I think I\u2019ll change the hippo into a crocodile. That would be fun!<\/p>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tAsk students to talk in partners about this open-ended question and discuss the options.\n\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t<\/ul>\n\t\t\n\t\t<ul>\n\t\t<li>Get the crocodile puppet and ask students to read the poem with you, substituting \u2018crocodile\u2019 for \u2018hippopotamus.\u2019 Use the crocodile puppet to beat the rhythm of the poem.<\/li>\n\t\t<\/ul>\n\t\t<ul>\n\t\t<li>\n\t\t\t<p class=\"speach-bubble left\">I think \u2018croco-crocodile\u2019 would fit in. Let\u2019s try it.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tYou may decide to sing the song together. You could clap the syllables in \u2018hippopotamus\u2019 and in \u2018crocodile\u2019 and compare. You will likely need to model how you can expand \u2018crocodile\u2019 to fit in with the rhythm.\n\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t<\/ul>\n\n\n<div id=\"Section-Four\" class=\"section\"><\/div>\n\n\n\t\t<h2 id=\"AFTER_MODELLING\" class=\"heading2\"><a name=\"aftermodelling\" id=\"aftermodelling\"><\/a>AFTER MODELLING<\/h2>\n\t\t\n\t\t<ul>\n\t\t<li>\n\t\t\t<p class=\"speach-bubble speach-bubble-long left\">Let\u2019s reread \u201cSleeping Bunnies.\u201d We could use a rabbit to help us sing the song as we have a rabbit puppet, but could we use other animals instead? Let\u2019s try \u2018tigers\u2019 then. Is there anything we\u2019d need to change in the poem?<\/p>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tGive the students opportunities to look at some of the poems in <em>Let\u2019s Join In!<\/em> and <em>Bubblegum, Books, and Bugs<\/em> and decide which puppets they may like to use to help them read or sing the poems.\n\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t<\/ul>\n\t\t<ul>\n\t\t<li>\n\t\t\t<p class=\"speach-bubble left\">So it\u2019s okay to use different animals here?
