Description

Gliding flight involves descending at an angle less than 45 degrees relative to the horizontal (descending at a larger angle is known as parachuting).

Alternatively, cover the title of the book so that children cant read it and after reading ask them what they think the title might be. Reveal the title and discuss whether they are surprised. Tuesday” is a Caldecott Award winning book from the creative mind of David Wiesner and is about how some seemingly ordinary frogs from a pond go on a magical adventure throughout the city. David Wiesner’s story of a magic along with his beautiful illustrations makes “Tuesday” a mesmerizing book for children.What might be happening inside the houses? Talk briefly about the sorts of things people might be doing at this time of night. In time, the young Wiesner began exploring the history of art, delving into the Renaissance at first — Michelangelo, Dürer, and da Vinci — then moving on to such surrealists as Magritte, de Chirico, and Dalí. As he got older, he would sit, inspired by these masters, at the oak drafting table his father had found for him and would construct new worlds on paper and create wordless comic books, such as Slop the Wonder Pig, and silent movies, like his kung fu vampire film The Saga of Butchula. Wallace’s flying frog tadpoles are gray and have spotted tails. They grow to a total length of about 50 mm (2 in). Distribution

The story contains only six words and three points that determine the time of the action. The whole story is narrated by colorful pictures of frogs flying on their lily pads. Imagine you are an expert on the ‘Tuesday Evening Phenomenon’. A journalist has come to interview you. In pairs, improvise the interview. Share your ideas in a group. Which did you like best? Crepuscular tones Wallace’s flying frog is one of several frog species that are capable of gliding flight. (Although the animal is known as a ‘flying frog’ it is not capable of true flight and can’t take off like a bird.) Notable declines only seem to affect frog populations in specific locations. These declines are usually caused by loss or degradation of the animal’s forest habitat.Also known as parachute frogs, Wallace's flying frogs inhabit the dense tropical jungles of Malaysia and Borneo. They live almost exclusively in the trees, descending only to mate and lay eggs. You could give the children speech bubble Post-its to write the dialogue. Share their suggestions. ‘Tuesday evening around eight’ Write a news report either for a newspaper or for television news. Include eye witness statements.

They are generally bright green with yellow sides and grow to about 4 inches. They survive mainly on insects. Where is this story set? What time of day? The sun is setting and the moon is starting to rise in the sky. I agree it's best if the evaluation criteria remain secret. I'm waiting for the official results of the evaluation, but I'm curious what others think based on your experience. Here’s how it went for me: The foamy egg mass is attached to branches, leaves or other suitable surfaces hanging over the water. When the embryos turn into larvae, the bubble nest falls apart, and the tadpoles drop into the water. The young stay in the pond or wallow until they have metamorphosed into the adult form. Wallace’s flying frog is a large, vivid green tree frog. Photo by Bernard DUPONT from FRANCE (Wallace’s Flying Frog (Rhacophorus nigropalmatus)) [ CC BY-SA 2.0]Wallace’s flying frog is one of the largest flying frogs. Like all flying frogs its body is lighter in weight than that of a non-flying frog of the same size, and its hands and feet are enlarged with extensive webbing between the fingers and toes.

Create a twilight palette of blues, greens and greys as David Wiesner has done. Paint a scene from the book, or your own scene set at this time of day. You might like to use the internet or other sources to find an image of John Singer Sargent’s ‘Carnation, Lily, Lily, Rose’ and talk about the way the artists has captured the twilight with white flowers and glowing lanterns. Prize-winning books

Tree-climbing snakes are known predators of Wallace’s flying frogs. Is Wallace’s Flying Frog Endangered? I don't think anyone knows what they are looking for because it's a secret they keep between each other. If they told anyone what they were looking for, then it could screw with the results and people could purposely mess up on the tests because they were trying to get the ASD diagnoses. Sadly there are people who do want a specific label and will keep going until they get it. But I do know that picture sequencing is used to test your TOM because Simon Baron Cohan did a study on it in 1985 and he saw that autistic children didn't do well with them. Wallace’s flying frog has flaps of skin along its sides. These increase the frog’s total surface area when it glides. The limbs are long and slender, and the fingers and toes terminate in large, oval-shaped adhesive discs. These are thought to soften the frog’s landing, as well as to help the frog grip. The overachieving Wallace's flying frog wasn't content to just hop and swim. Thousands of years of watching birds navigate the rain forest and avoid predators by taking to the sky appears to have convinced this unique amphibian that air travel is the way to go. In the AirWiesner has always been intrigued by and curious about what comes before and after the captured image. His books somehow convey the sequence of thoughts leading up to and following each picture, and that quality explain why they are frequently described as cinematic. An alternative way to approach the story in school would be to set up a crime scene. Create an area where it appears there has been an intruder who has dislodged things from their usual places. Arrange some giant lily pads around the scene and puddles of water. Cordon of the scene with red and white tape, as used to mark a crime scene. Invite the children to work out what may have happened. Ideally, do this on a Wednesday morning…Tuesday is the magical night! During reading Framing the story Decide how you are going to read the story. Will you read together with the class or have the children read in groups or share individually? For a Literature Circle type discussion, distribute copies of the book. Ask the children to read independently and then make notes. You could use the following prompts to support their note-making. Look carefully, how has David Wiesner drawn the picture to show that the frog stops suddenly? Can you explain how he has shown that?
