The Frog Prince: Compare and contrast: This lesson can be used with numerous pieces of literature, videos or cassette material to develop viewing and listening skills and the students ability to compare and contrast.

I have used the "Frog Prince" because of this factor and because it was part of the 4th grade language arts reading unit.; Format: lesson plan (grade 4 English Language Arts and Information Skills); By Barbara Waters.
