The Phases of the Moon

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Learners observe the questions, "Why do we say there is a man on the moon?, What do you think of when you hear "the moon is made of cheese"?, What is meant, to you, by the expression "Once in a blue moon"? and a comic of Snoopy typing, "It was a dark and moonless night" and in small groups discuss what these phrases have in common and formulate answers.
