Instructor Bio Teaching Read 180, English as a Second Language and Spanish has been my experience for the past 15 years. I’m a graduate of Oregon State University with a B.A in Spanish and Ed.M in Curriculum and Instruction. I speak Spanish. At the present time I teach READ 180 at Roberts Structured Learning Center.

What have we learned? Jeff Corwin travels around the world making videos about different cultures, people and animals. In this video we learned about poison tree frogs. Jeff showed us different species of tree frogs that were poisonous. We learned that poisonous means anything containing, producing or acting as a poison. The Poison Dart Tree Frog reproduces by laying eggs inside of leaf-cups made by bromeliad plants. The parents then transport the tadpoles after they hatch to other leaf cups.
What have we learned? The poison is a toxic chemical in the skin of the frog. Some are so dangerous they can kill a person, others only make you sick. The reason poison dart frogs have the poison is to keep predators from eating them. The bright colors of the frogs are to warn predators that they can be poisonous. South American natives used the poison from the frogs to make darts for hunting. They would rub the tip of the dart in the mucous of the poisonous frog’s skin. The darts were used in blowguns.
