Why is Lilly so different than Hewey and Lewey?

Today, we researched more about the differences in runner ducks and pekin ducks. My student posed a few questions as they observed our 3 ducklings:
1. Why is Lilly smaller than Hewey and Lewey?
2. Why do our pekin ducks walk better than Lilly, our runner?
3. Why is Lilly a different color than Hewey and Lewey?

Based on these questions, Mrs. Daniel and I created an informational article to teach our students more information about the differences between runner and pekin ducks. I had my students annotate over the article using our thinking codes.




After annotating, we went outside to observe our ducklings and notice the similarities and differences. We recorded our observations in our "An Egg Is Quiet" journals.
