5 minutes- This will be spent building background knowledge and discussing what learners already know about all types of butterflies. 

20-25 minutes- I will read parts of the stories "Caterpillar to Butterfly" and "Caterpillar to Butterfly". I will share facts from the books and share pictures that I have taken of butterflies as well.  I will stop frequently to discuss what we've read, point out details from pictures, explain why and how pictures are labeled certain ways, discuss key vocabulary and allow time for learners to share their own thoughts about what we've read.  I will also interject my own knowledge about butterflies.  I have many years of experience with raising caterpillars and monitoring their life cycle as they transfer from caterpillar to butterfly.

- Throughout the lesson, students will have the opportunity to draw and/or write what they are learning about.

5-10 minutes- I will wrap up the lesson by asking and answering questions about was learned about butterflies.  Learners will also have to opportunity to share their drawings/writing.
