Creative QuestionmediumAnimal Sounds

Sara is drawing pictures of animals and their homes. She drew a picture of a parrot and then wondered where it lives. She also wanted to draw a monkey, but she wasn't sure about its habitat from the rhyme.

a · KnowledgeWhere does a parrot live?1

A parrot lives in a nest.

b · ComprehensionWhy might Sara be unsure about the monkey's habitat based on the provided rhyme?2

Sara might be unsure about the monkey's habitat because the 'Where Do You Live?' rhyme does not explicitly mention where a monkey lives, although it lists 'a monkey' as an animal to look at.

c · ApplicationIf Sara drew a spider, what kind of home should she draw for it according to the rhyme?3

If Sara drew a spider, she should draw a web for it, because the rhyme states, 'Baby Spider, Baby Spider... I live in my web'.

d · Higher-order skillsCompare and contrast the homes of a cow and a lion as described in the rhyme. What are the key differences?4

The homes of a cow and a lion, as described in the rhyme, are a 'cowshed' and a 'den', respectively. A cowshed is a structure built by humans, typically for domestic animals like cows, providing shelter and often associated with farming. In contrast, a den is a natural dwelling, often a cave or a hidden shelter, typically used by wild animals like lions. The key difference is that one is a man-made shelter for a domesticated animal, while the other is a natural habitat for a wild animal.
