Lesson 3
Warm-up.
Let's review.
Read and write.
This diagram shows a tadpole(蝌蚪) turning into a frog, from egg to adult.
Look at the pictures
Look at the life cycle order. Each number stands for one stage. Describe(描述) what happens in each step.
Think about it
Do you know how a tadpole turns into a frog? What changes happen to its body? Let's read the story together to find the answers!
Read and write.
Xiaoming found a tadpole in a pond. It had a big head and a small tail. He took it home in a small bottle. It grew two legs on the second day. He was so excited. On the fourteenth day, it grew two front legs and its tail began to get shorter. On the twenty‑eighth day, he couldn’t find his tadpole. He was worried. Then he heard a sound at the window. Wow! The little tadpole was now a little frog!

Reading Comprehension
Q1: At the very beginning?
Q2: On the 14th day?
Q3: In the end?
The tadpole had a big head and a small tail at first. It looked very different from what it would become later!
It grew two front legs, and its long tail began to get shorter each day as it developed more features of a frog.
After many changes, the tadpole finally lost its tail and became a little frog!
Key Takeaway: Metamorphosis(变态发育) is the transformation of a tadpole into a frog.

Let's Retell the Story!
Task: Work in pairs. Retell the story of the tadpole using the timeline below. Pay attention to the key changes in its body and the time it takes!
First Sight
It has a big, round head and a small tail. It looks like a little black fish in the water.
2nd Day
Wow! Two small back legs have grown on its body. It swims a little faster now.
14th Day
Two front legs appear! Its tail is getting shorter and shorter. It is changing quickly.
28th Day
The tail is gone! It has become a green frog. Now it can live on both land and water.
Let's think and write.
4 Find out how a plant or an animal grows. Then write down the key stages.
Writing Guide
Answer the questions to write a vivid growth story of a living thing.
01. Choose a Subject
Which plant or animal will you write about? Choose one easy to watch: a seed, a caterpillar (毛毛虫)or a chick.
02. The Beginning (Day 1)
What did it look like at first? Describe its size, colour, texture(触感), and how it moved (if it’s an animal).
03. The Changes (Day 5 / 14)
What small or big changes did you notice after some days? Did it grow taller, get new leaves, or change its shape and colour?
04. The Final Form
What did it become in the end? Was it a blooming flower, a butterfly, or a strong young plant? How did it make you feel?
Sample Writing Guide
I write about sunflowers.
On the first day, I put sunflower seeds in the soil and watered them.
On the seventh day, tiny plants came out of the soil.
On the twentieth day, they grew bigger and bigger with many green leaves.
On the forty-fifth day, beautiful yellow flowers bloomed.

Summary & Homework
Today's Highlights
We can use order words (First, Second, Third, Fourth, Last) to write and talk about the steps of things.
We learned to use ordinal numbers(序数词) to describe the stages of plant and animal life cycles(生命周期).
We learn that the letter combinations "oi" and "oy" pronounce /ɔɪ/. We can see this sound in words like soil and boy.
Homework Challenge
Basic (Everyone must finish)
1. Read the tadpole text three times and fill in the summary on your book.
2. Copy these words 3 times each: oil, boil, soil, boy, joy, toy.
Extra (Choose to do)
1. Write 3 growth stages of a plant or animal with order words: First, Second, Third, Last.
2. Make a short tongue twister (绕口令)with at least three "oi / oy" words.
💡 Remember: Review every day to build great study habits. Don’t forget your homework tomorrow—we’ll check it in class with fun games!
