They also can bring others together to celebrate and feel unity.\nSynopsis\nIn this story, Coyote uses his bow and arrow to build a ladder to the Heavens and moves the stars to make pictures of himself  and his animal friends. Using his magical howling voice, he brings the animals together to view his handiwork in the night sky. After viewing the constellations, the animals decree that Coyote is the most clever and crafty.  Coyote promises to be the friend of their children and their children’s children.\nRead entire main selection text, keeping in mind the Big Ideas and Key Understandings.\nRe-read the main selection text while noting the stopping points for the Text Dependent Questions and teaching Vocabulary.\nDuring Teaching\nStudents read the entire main selection text independently.\nTeacher reads the main selection text aloud with students following along.
