Roger headed down to the cold, mountain stream. He knew the perfect fishing spot where many logs and branches had fallen into the creek during the last ice storm. This made for deep pools of water and great hiding spots for the brown trout.<\/p><p>Roger approached the stream quietly. He did not want to alert the fish of his presence. The worm-loaded weighted hook lowered into the water. He wanted the hook to go deep into the pool where he knew brook trout liked to hang out.<\/p><p>\u201cThere!\u201d The sunlight gleamed off the white stripes on the fish\u2019s fins. Roger had found his breakfast. The fish took the bait. This seven-inch was a little on the small side for breakfast, but others had to be close. A few seconds later, three wet mahogany heads popped out of the water searching for insects. Roger was lucky. He scooped up the fish with his net and wound up with four fish. One was a whopping10 inches long. Now, off to breakfast.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2138968 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"2138968\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h4>Activity #2 \u2013 Figurative Language Examples<\/h4><p>Bill was as nervous as a fly facing a fly swatter when he stood up to give his book report.<\/p><p>The sly fox maneuver of the quarterback set up the winning play.<\/p><p>My mother thought I was an angry bear when my stomach began growling.<\/p><h4>Activity #3 \u2013 Writing Instructions Example<\/h4><p><strong>How to Make Bird Suet<\/strong><\/p><p>Melt 1 cup of crunchy peanut butter and 1 \u00bd cups of lard in the microwave.<\/p><p>Stir in 2 cups of cornmeal, 2 cups of oatmeal, 1 cup of white flour, 1 cup of raisins, and 1\/3 cup of sugar.<\/p><p>Press the mixture into a rectangular cake pan until it is about 1 inch thick.<\/p><p>Allow the mixture to completely cool for about 2 hours in the refrigerator.<\/p><p>Cut the suet into squares that will fit into your bird feeder.<\/p><p>Special instructions \u2013 Do not use suet except in cold weather when it will not melt and become rancid.<\/p><h3>Teaching Idea #3 \u2013 My Side of the Mountain Movie<\/h3><p>Watch a minute and a half segment of the movie <em>My Side of the Mountain<\/em>.
