Anticipation Set First ask students to think about what they think of when they think of March (i.e. windy, cold, St. Patrick's Day, lambs, lions, etc.). Then allow a few students to share their thoughts and explain that March is known as the month that comes like a lion and goes out like a lamb. Read the story “Inside Like a Lion, Out Like a Lamb” by Marion Dane Bauer. Ask students comprehensive questions after the story is finished. Draw a line down the middle of the table; write lion and lamb at the top on either side of the line. As a class, find words describing a lion. Write these words on the board under the lion (i.e. angry, crazy, big, brave, fierce, strong, etc.). Do the same with the lamb (i.e. shy, calm, gentle, friendly, etc.). The educator should write words (on paper) in case a student is not able to complete the task. Inform the class that they will write several paragraphs
