Charmed, said Rat and gave his consent. Next you'll hear how the wedding went. FROM FROG WENT A-COURTING: A MUSICAL PLAY IN SIX ACTS BY DOMINIC CATALANO. Dominic Catalano provides a familiar tale that may rekindle rich memories of an oral lan- guage performance from elementary school. A brilliant cast of characters, including Frog, Miss Mouse, Reverend Bug, and Madam Moth, and brief, easily memorized lines are accom- panied with music to this familiar song. As the opening script continues, the listener learns that Miss Mole made the wedding gown from the finest silks in town.
Literature circles, research project groups, discussions following read-alouds, brain-storming sessions, and peer writing conferences represent means for talk to facilitate learn-ing in the classroom. Understanding the kinds of talk that are appropriate and constructive to learning is key to an effective learning community.
