Questions:

•       What are the animals that appear in the text?
•      Children should read the text and then, they should match the mouse name with the corresponding mouse picture (Although, this activity is connecting with intensive reading technique).

-Scanning

•          What different kind of mice appear in the text?
•        Match these informations with the corresponding mouse:
