Final answer:

Rob's teacher uses prompts to help him learn the names of frog body parts, engaging him in recognition and memorization, similar to early language development experiences.

Step-by-step explanation:

Rob is learning about body parts, and he has a keen interest in frogs. When his teacher creates a drawing and leaves out certain body parts of a frog, she uses this exercise as a prompt to engage Rob in identifying and saying the names of those body parts. For example, when Rob points at the spot where the leg should be, the teacher might prompt him to say "body leg." Likewise, if the eyes are missing, the prompt would be for "body eyes." This learning process is similar to Helen Keller's experience with her teacher, who taught her that everything has a name; just like the student who learns to recognize and read the words "Go, Pig! Go!" without fully understanding at first that they are words. In the context of learning about frogs, useful terms include the tympanum (ear), webbed feet, and the powerful muscles in the limbs of the frog. This is a blend of observation, learning, and understanding the terminology related to animal anatomy.
