With paper cutting.
With language: The vocabulary of the pupils is enlarged by the introduction of new words whose meaning is made clear by means of the concrete illustration furnished by direct observation of the rabbit.
They use these new words in sentences which they form in describing the rabbit; for example: hutch, gnaw, padded, cleft lip, timid.
The rabbit has padded feet so that it can walk without noise. The rabbit has a soft bed in its hutch.
THE DOMESTIC CAT
The following facts are suggested as topics for a first lesson on the domestic cat. The teacher can rely upon the pupil's knowledge of the cat to furnish these statements of fact during a conversation lesson:
The cat goes about at night as readily as during the day.
The cat can hear faint noises quite readily.
The cat can walk noiselessly.
The cat creeps along until it is close to its prey, then pounces upon it, and seizes it with its claws.
