What Have We Already Learned?<br />

Show image 11A-1: Johnny Appleseed<br />

Have students identify the person in the illustration. Ask students<br />

what they remember about Johnny Appleseed. As students<br />

respond, repeat and expand upon each response using richer and<br />

more complex language, including, if possible, any read-aloud<br />

vocabulary. If a student’s response includes inaccurate factual<br />

information, refer back to earlier read-alouds and/or illustrations to<br />

correct any misunderstandings.<br />

Remind students that Johnny Appleseed became famous because<br />

he traveled throughout the United States, planting apple seeds<br />

wherever he could so that apple trees would grow everywhere.<br />

Purpose for Listening<br />

Explain to students that today they are going to learn about<br />

another person who became famous because of his love for<br />

plants. Tell students to listen carefully to find out what this person<br />

did because he loved plants and how he became famous.<br />
