RL51 Quote accurately from a text when explaining what the text says explicitly and when drawing inferences from the text
Students will be able to quote from the text to support their opinion or comprehension Students may create lists of clues stated in the text to support their inference Students may use graphic organizers to arrange clues ideas and quotes with page numbers of the text
Literature Response ldquoHistorical fictionrdquo is a genre that takes place in the past but has a fictional character or fictional elements to it As a class we will compare and contrast various historical fiction stories In order to prepare for class discussions create a T-chart in your journal where you take notes about people places or events you believe are represented accurately and people places or events you believe are fictional Be sure to include in your notes the page number and book title for each example so you can refer back to the text (RL51 RL59) Sample Questions Who was the first to finish the race How do you know Which word(s) from the poem supports your answer bull What is so special about Mario How do you know Which sentence(s) from the story supports your answer bull Where does the drama take place How do you know Which sentence(s) from the drama supports your answer bull Why did Tiesha try out for the play How do you know Which sentence(s) from the story supports your answer bull Why did Tyrone get an ldquoArdquo on his test How do you know Which sentence(s) from the story supports your answer bull How is John different from Paul How do you know Which sentence(s) from the story supports your answer Lesson Plans and Activities Learn to Cite Evidence from the Text in Your Own Words (video)

The emphasis of this standard is employing strategies to analyze and apply knowledge of the structure and elements of literature Theme is the overarching message or universal idea of the text It is not bound by time or space and is generally true for all people throughout all time (eg itrsquos always better to work together honesty is the best policy) It requires thinking BEYOND the text students will not be able to find the answer directly stated in the text Strategies of inference need to be practiced Inference is a guess or conclusion based on evidence clues made by the author plus the readerrsquos own background knowledge Students summarize text incorporating explanation of the theme from their notes
Class Discussion Compare and contrast the presentation of a topic in two different formats such as baseball in ldquoCasey at the Batrdquo Ernest Lawrence Thayer to We are the Ship The Story of Negro League Baseball Kadir Nelson drawing on specific details from the text Your teacher may ask you to write your own response on a sticky note on a white board or in your journal and share it with a partner before or during the class discussion (RL52 SL51a b) Sample Questions What is the theme of _____ (text title) What details in the storypoemdrama help the reader determine this theme bull How does the author use the way Tyrone responds to his situation to develop the theme of the story bull Summarize the storydramapoem Lesson Plans and Activities
Summary Graphic Organizer ndash SWBST (Someone hellip Wanted hellip But hellip Sohellip Then hellip)
Use a story map to summarize and to retell the story

Theme one word or a few words that sums up the story
Model summarizing from the text to support the theme of a story The teacher may combine the key points in order to demonstrate generalized meaning or theme (a broader view)
Model the process of determining a theme by thinking aloud using a well-known story (eg Three Little Pigs collaboration or working together brings success The Boy Who Cried Wolf honesty is the best policy)

RL53 Compare and contrast two or more characters settings or events in a story or drama drawing on specific details in the text (eg how characters interact)
This standard asks for the student to examine key traits from a text and compare and contrast them Use of a graphic organizer (eg Venn diagram or T-chart may assist students to understand the complexities of the characters settings and events through listing details) Teachers provide graphic organizers (eg T-chart Venn diagram or 2-3 columns) to assist in identifying and organizing story elements Teachers provide various examples of comparisons between characters setting or events to serve as a guide for students (Compare the main characters in The Secret Garden Frances Hodgson Burnett)
Literature Response In your journal create a character map of the main character in the historical novel you are reading Show how the character changes (or develops) over the course of the text Compare your character with one chosen by a classmate How are the characters similar How are they different (RL52 RL53) Pre-Reading Cards As a pre-reading activity provide students with index cards that have story element clues on them (ie a card might be labelled Setting ndash A small town) Have students read or hear read the first chapter of a selection Students record any inferences predictions or conclusions they develop based on what they heard Once students have completed the reading they review the cards to see how well they were able to infer predict or draw conclusions about the story element listed on their cards Later this can be turned into a short research paper that includes details from the text that support studentsrsquo original thoughts This activity can be adapted for shorter selections by reading only the first paragraph Story Map Using the story map strategy helps students focus on the major aspects or elements of a story such as setting character conflict rising action and resolution Initially these organizers can be created for whole groups to contribute as they become more familiar students can create story maps for texts they read independently There are a number of graphic variations on a story map available online ReadWriteThink (sponsored by the International Reading Association and National Council of Teachers of English) has an interactive version that students can complete located at httpwwwreadwritethinkorgfilesresourcesinteractivesstorymap Sample Questions How are Keisha and Lawanda alike and different What specific details from the story support your comparison bull What do you learn about Chris and John by the way they compete for the prize How are they alike and different Use specific details from the

RL56 Describe how a narratorrsquos or speakerrsquos point of view influences how events are described
The emphasis of this standard is the identification of the techniques used by the author to influence the readersrsquo feelings and attitudes The point of view of the narrator can impact the way that events are perceived through the use of techniques of characterization First person point of view can allow the reader to have a greater understanding of the emotions and thoughts of the character This causes the reader to relate and forge a bond with the character or narrator Third person point of view is more versatile because when the narrator reveals a character readers will perceive emotions thoughts and attitudes based on both the third person narration and their own background knowledge Teachers create a focus or word wall to emphasize signal words and phrases used by first person or narrator Teachers provide two sample passages one written in first person point of view one written in third person point of view for students to compare Teachers ask students to discuss why one point of view would be more effective than the other

RL54 Determine the meaning of words and phrases as they are used in a text hellipincluding figurative language such as metaphors and similes
Students will develop their understanding of words phrases and figurative language through read-aloud stories teacher modeling and student-centered activities that are presented in the classroom Students will interpret words in many contexts Students highlight and discuss figurative language as it is encountered in text Students illustrate the literal and figurative meanings of figurative language (eg He lost his head running on empty frog in my throat)
Pinterest Board with Anchor Charts and Ideas for Figurative Language
Vocabulary and Context Clues Students research the origins of selected idioms to reinforce their meanings Teachers encourage students to look for similes as they read independent novels and books (eg In Sadako and the Thousand Paper Cranes Eleanor Coerr Sadako says I am a turtle But is she really a turtle She is behaving like a turtle when she is not running fast)
Poetic Devices Not only do poets use a variety of formats rhyme schemes and meters but they use specific devices to make their poems unique Find examples of similes metaphors alliteration and onomatopoeia in poems from this unit and mark them with coded sticky notes Create a T-chart in your journal that includes the technique and examples of each Try to write your own poem that uses at least two of the techniques found (RL54 L55 W54) Anchor Charts Anchor charts are tools to aid students in remembering procedures and expectations related to topics in any content area They should be made with the students and added to throughout the year Post anchor charts in the classroom where they are easily accessible to students Anchor chart topics in reading could include class-generated information around general questions like ldquowhat do good readers dordquo or specific topics like figurative language In each case the charts would include information that explains and supports the studentsrsquo abilities to comprehend and evaluate text Picture Book Language Give small groups of students several picture books and have them look for words and phrases from those texts that reflect figurative language Have the scribe for the group record these words and phrases Group members should determine the specific type of figurative language the author used for each word or phrase found (ie simile metaphor) Each group can share their examples with the class and provide rationales for how each word or phrase was labelled Lesson Plans and Activities

RL55 Explain how a series of chapters scenes or stanzas fits together to provide the overall structure of a particular story drama or poem Text Features
The emphasis of this standard is the structure of a story and how the structure is made up of separate parts Students benefit from understanding the components of the story and plot such as the exposition rising action climax falling action and resolution The combination of structural elements come together to create a final piece Students create maps of the plot structure to outline the key events of the text Students rearrange the events and put them back in order Students diagram the plot of different selections using a graphic organizer to diagram the structures (eg Use the plot diagram to show exposition rising action climax denouement conclusion flowchart to show event divisions in chapters)

RL56 Describe how a narratorrsquos or speakerrsquos point of view influences how events are described
The emphasis of this standard is the identification of the techniques used by the author to influence the readersrsquo feelings and attitudes The point of view of the narrator can impact the way that events are perceived through the use of techniques of characterization First person point of view can allow the reader to have a greater understanding of the emotions and thoughts of the character This causes the reader to relate and forge a bond with the character or narrator Third person point of view is more versatile because when the narrator reveals a character readers will perceive emotions thoughts and attitudes based on both the third person narration and their own background knowledge Teachers create a focus or word wall to emphasize signal words and phrases used by first person or narrator Teachers provide two sample passages one written in first person point of view one written in third person point of view for students to compare Teachers ask students to discuss why one point of view would be more effective than the other

Students can answer the text-dependent question directly from their notes on the handout (Appendix C) If students need support they should complete the three step journal process before starting to answer the text-dependent questions
For the Lesson Closing of Lesson 5 after students have written their journal responses provide feedback by modeling an answer to one of the questions

points listed above and possibly other
turning points that students have
selected compose small groups of
enough students to dramatize the
scenes Assign each small group a set
of pages containing a scene Students
then work in small groups to dramatize
one of the turning point scenes If
possible have a small group of
students dramatize the scene they all
wrote about However due to numbers
in your class some small groups may
need to dramatize a scene they didnrsquot
write about (that you select)

The emphasis of this standard is employing strategies to analyze and apply knowledge of the structure and elements of literature Theme is the overarching message or universal idea of the text It is not bound by time or space and is generally true for all people throughout all time (eg itrsquos always better to work together honesty is the best policy) It requires thinking BEYOND the text students will not be able to find the answer directly stated in the text Strategies of inference need to be practiced Inference is a guess or conclusion based on evidence clues made by the author plus the readerrsquos own background knowledge Students summarize text incorporating explanation of the theme from their notes
Class Discussion Compare and contrast the presentation of a topic in two different formats such as baseball in ldquoCasey at the Batrdquo Ernest Lawrence Thayer to We are the Ship The Story of Negro League Baseball Kadir Nelson drawing on specific details from the text Your teacher may ask you to write your own response on a sticky note on a white board or in your journal and share it with a partner before or during the class discussion (RL52 SL51a b) Sample Questions What is the theme of _____ (text title) What details in the storypoemdrama help the reader determine this theme bull How does the author use the way Tyrone responds to his situation to develop the theme of the story bull Summarize the storydramapoem Lesson Plans and Activities

RL53 Compare and contrast two or more characters settings or events in a story or drama drawing on specific details in the text (eg how characters interact)
This standard asks for the student to examine key traits from a text and compare and contrast them Use of a graphic organizer (eg Venn diagram or T-chart may assist students to understand the complexities of the characters settings and events through listing details) Teachers provide graphic organizers (eg T-chart Venn diagram or 2-3 columns) to assist in identifying and organizing story elements Teachers provide various examples of comparisons between characters setting or events to serve as a guide for students (Compare the main characters in The Secret Garden Frances Hodgson Burnett)
Literature Response In your journal create a character map of the main character in the historical novel you are reading Show how the character changes (or develops) over the course of the text Compare your character with one chosen by a classmate How are the characters similar How are they different (RL52 RL53) Pre-Reading Cards As a pre-reading activity provide students with index cards that have story element clues on them (ie a card might be labelled Setting ndash A small town) Have students read or hear read the first chapter of a selection Students record any inferences predictions or conclusions they develop based on what they heard Once students have completed the reading they review the cards to see how well they were able to infer predict or draw conclusions about the story element listed on their cards Later this can be turned into a short research paper that includes details from the text that support studentsrsquo original thoughts This activity can be adapted for shorter selections by reading only the first paragraph Story Map Using the story map strategy helps students focus on the major aspects or elements of a story such as setting character conflict rising action and resolution Initially these organizers can be created for whole groups to contribute as they become more familiar students can create story maps for texts they read independently There are a number of graphic variations on a story map available online ReadWriteThink (sponsored by the International Reading Association and National Council of Teachers of English) has an interactive version that students can complete located at httpwwwreadwritethinkorgfilesresourcesinteractivesstorymap Sample Questions How are Keisha and Lawanda alike and different What specific details from the story support your comparison bull What do you learn about Chris and John by the way they compete for the prize How are they alike and different Use specific details from the

Vocabulary and Context Clues Students research the origins of selected idioms to reinforce their meanings Teachers encourage students to look for similes as they read independent novels and books (eg In Sadako and the Thousand Paper Cranes Eleanor Coerr Sadako says I am a turtle But is she really a turtle She is behaving like a turtle when she is not running fast)
Poetic Devices Not only do poets use a variety of formats rhyme schemes and meters but they use specific devices to make their poems unique Find examples of similes metaphors alliteration and onomatopoeia in poems from this unit and mark them with coded sticky notes Create a T-chart in your journal that includes the technique and examples of each Try to write your own poem that uses at least two of the techniques found (RL54 L55 W54) Anchor Charts Anchor charts are tools to aid students in remembering procedures and expectations related to topics in any content area They should be made with the students and added to throughout the year Post anchor charts in the classroom where they are easily accessible to students Anchor chart topics in reading could include class-generated information around general questions like ldquowhat do good readers dordquo or specific topics like figurative language In each case the charts would include information that explains and supports the studentsrsquo abilities to comprehend and evaluate text Picture Book Language Give small groups of students several picture books and have them look for words and phrases from those texts that reflect figurative language Have the scribe for the group record these words and phrases Group members should determine the specific type of figurative language the author used for each word or phrase found (ie simile metaphor) Each group can share their examples with the class and provide rationales for how each word or phrase was labelled Lesson Plans and Activities

RL56 Describe how a narratorrsquos or speakerrsquos point of view influences how events are described
The emphasis of this standard is the identification of the techniques used by the author to influence the readersrsquo feelings and attitudes The point of view of the narrator can impact the way that events are perceived through the use of techniques of characterization First person point of view can allow the reader to have a greater understanding of the emotions and thoughts of the character This causes the reader to relate and forge a bond with the character or narrator Third person point of view is more versatile because when the narrator reveals a character readers will perceive emotions thoughts and attitudes based on both the third person narration and their own background knowledge Teachers create a focus or word wall to emphasize signal words and phrases used by first person or narrator Teachers provide two sample passages one written in first person point of view one written in third person point of view for students to compare Teachers ask students to discuss why one point of view would be more effective than the other

The emphasis of this standard is the identification of the techniques used by the author to influence the readersrsquo feelings and attitudes The point of view of the narrator can impact the way that events are perceived through the use of techniques of characterization First person point of view can allow the reader to have a greater understanding of the emotions and thoughts of the character This causes the reader to relate and forge a bond with the character or narrator Third person point of view is more versatile because when the narrator reveals a character readers will perceive emotions thoughts and attitudes based on both the third person narration and their own background knowledge Teachers create a focus or word wall to emphasize signal words and phrases used by first person or narrator Teachers provide two sample passages one written in first person point of view one written in third person point of view for students to compare Teachers ask students to discuss why one point of view would be more effective than the other

RL59 Compare and contrast stories in the same genre (eg mysteries and adventure stories) on their approaches to similar themes and topics
This standard asks students to look at two or more works with the same theme or topic Students consider the effect of the authorsrsquo different approaches Students use charts and graphic organizers to assist them with examining the differences and similarities between stories Teachers have students work with partners or groups to compare and contrast two stories regarding similar topics (eg Misty of Chincoteague by Marguerite Henry and Black Beauty by Anna Sewell both tell the story of a horse and the relationship with their owners)
Comparing Across Books Lesson Plan
Class Discussion Why do tricksters ignore conventional cultural behavior Why are these characters often personifications and not human What impact does culture have on the tale Talk with a classmate to share ideas and then write your favorite ideas down in your journal prior to class discussion (RL59) Tall Tales ndash Genre Study Students read and discuss folk tales focusing on character actions and traits In collaborative groups students work to summarize plot points and character traits As a group post story information onto a multi-story character-study matrix which includes appearance ability setting relationships with others problems accomplishments and resolutions The process can be repeated for multiple characters across books so that characters can be compared and contrasted An example of a character-study matrix can be found at Read Write Think at httpwwwreadwritethinkorgfilesresourceslesson-docsSampleCharacterMatrixpdf

RL52 Determine a theme of a story drama or poem from details in the text hellipincluding how characters in a story or drama respond to challenges or how the speaker in a poem reflects upon a topic hellipsummarize the text
The emphasis of this standard is employing strategies to analyze and apply knowledge of the structure and elements of literature Theme is the overarching message or universal idea of the text It is not bound by time or space and is generally true for all people throughout all time (eg itrsquos always better to work together honesty is the best policy) It requires thinking BEYOND the text students will not be able to find the answer directly stated in the text Strategies of inference need to be practiced Inference is a guess or conclusion based on evidence clues made by the author plus the readerrsquos own background knowledge Students summarize text incorporating explanation of the theme from their notes
Class Discussion Compare and contrast the presentation of a topic in two different formats such as baseball in ldquoCasey at the Batrdquo Ernest Lawrence Thayer to We are the Ship The Story of Negro League Baseball Kadir Nelson drawing on specific details from the text Your teacher may ask you to write your own response on a sticky note on a white board or in your journal and share it with a partner before or during the class discussion (RL52 SL51a b) Sample Questions What is the theme of _____ (text title) What details in the storypoemdrama help the reader determine this theme bull How does the author use the way Tyrone responds to his situation to develop the theme of the story bull Summarize the storydramapoem Lesson Plans and Activities
Summary Graphic Organizer ndash SWBST (Someone hellip Wanted hellip But hellip Sohellip Then hellip)
Use a story map to summarize and to retell the story
Students summarize text incorporating explanation of the theme from their notes
Theme one word or a few words that sums up the story
Model summarizing from the text to support the theme of a story The teacher may combine the key points in order to demonstrate generalized meaning or theme (a broader view)
Model the process of determining a theme by thinking aloud using a well-known story (eg Three Little Pigs collaboration or working together brings success The Boy Who Cried Wolf honesty is the best policy)

RL53 Compare and contrast two or more characters settings or events in a story or drama drawing on specific details in the text (eg how characters interact)
This standard asks for the student to examine key traits from a text and compare and contrast them Use of a graphic organizer (eg Venn diagram or T-chart may assist students to understand the complexities of the characters settings and events through listing details) Teachers provide graphic organizers (eg T-chart Venn diagram or 2-3 columns) to assist in identifying and organizing story elements Teachers provide various examples of comparisons between characters setting or events to serve as a guide for students (Compare the main characters in The Secret Garden Frances Hodgson Burnett)
Literature Response In your journal create a character map of the main character in the historical novel you are reading Show how the character changes (or develops) over the course of the text Compare your character with one chosen by a classmate How are the characters similar How are they different (RL52 RL53) Pre-Reading Cards As a pre-reading activity provide students with index cards that have story element clues on them (ie a card might be labelled Setting ndash A small town) Have students read or hear read the first chapter of a selection Students record any inferences predictions or conclusions they develop based on what they heard Once students have completed the reading they review the cards to see how well they were able to infer predict or draw conclusions about the story element listed on their cards Later this can be turned into a short research paper that includes details from the text that support studentsrsquo original thoughts This activity can be adapted for shorter selections by reading only the first paragraph Story Map Using the story map strategy helps students focus on the major aspects or elements of a story such as setting character conflict rising action and resolution Initially these organizers can be created for whole groups to contribute as they become more familiar students can create story maps for texts they read independently There are a number of graphic variations on a story map available online ReadWriteThink (sponsored by the International Reading Association and National Council of Teachers of English) has an interactive version that students can complete located at httpwwwreadwritethinkorgfilesresourcesinteractivesstorymap Sample Questions How are Keisha and Lawanda alike and different What specific details from the story support your comparison bull What do you learn about Chris and John by the way they compete for the prize How are they alike and different Use specific details from the

RL54 Determine the meaning of words and phrases as they are used in a text hellipincluding figurative language such as metaphors and similes
Students will develop their understanding of words phrases and figurative language through read-aloud stories teacher modeling and student-centered activities that are presented in the classroom Students will interpret words in many contexts Students highlight and discuss figurative language as it is encountered in text Students illustrate the literal and figurative meanings of figurative language (eg He lost his head running on empty frog in my throat)
Pinterest Board with Anchor Charts and Ideas for Figurative Language
Vocabulary and Context Clues Students research the origins of selected idioms to reinforce their meanings Teachers encourage students to look for similes as they read independent novels and books (eg In Sadako and the Thousand Paper Cranes Eleanor Coerr Sadako says I am a turtle But is she really a turtle She is behaving like a turtle when she is not running fast)
Poetic Devices Not only do poets use a variety of formats rhyme schemes and meters but they use specific devices to make their poems unique Find examples of similes metaphors alliteration and onomatopoeia in poems from this unit and mark them with coded sticky notes Create a T-chart in your journal that includes the technique and examples of each Try to write your own poem that uses at least two of the techniques found (RL54 L55 W54) Anchor Charts Anchor charts are tools to aid students in remembering procedures and expectations related to topics in any content area They should be made with the students and added to throughout the year Post anchor charts in the classroom where they are easily accessible to students Anchor chart topics in reading could include class-generated information around general questions like ldquowhat do good readers dordquo or specific topics like figurative language In each case the charts would include information that explains and supports the studentsrsquo abilities to comprehend and evaluate text Picture Book Language Give small groups of students several picture books and have them look for words and phrases from those texts that reflect figurative language Have the scribe for the group record these words and phrases Group members should determine the specific type of figurative language the author used for each word or phrase found (ie simile metaphor) Each group can share their examples with the class and provide rationales for how each word or phrase was labelled Lesson Plans and Activities

RL55 Explain how a series of chapters scenes or stanzas fits together to provide the overall structure of a particular story drama or poem Text Features
The emphasis of this standard is the structure of a story and how the structure is made up of separate parts Students benefit from understanding the components of the story and plot such as the exposition rising action climax falling action and resolution The combination of structural elements come together to create a final piece Students create maps of the plot structure to outline the key events of the text Students rearrange the events and put them back in order Students diagram the plot of different selections using a graphic organizer to diagram the structures (eg Use the plot diagram to show exposition rising action climax denouement conclusion flowchart to show event divisions in chapters)

RL56 Describe how a narratorrsquos or speakerrsquos point of view influences how events are described
The emphasis of this standard is the identification of the techniques used by the author to influence the readersrsquo feelings and attitudes The point of view of the narrator can impact the way that events are perceived through the use of techniques of characterization First person point of view can allow the reader to have a greater understanding of the emotions and thoughts of the character This causes the reader to relate and forge a bond with the character or narrator Third person point of view is more versatile because when the narrator reveals a character readers will perceive emotions thoughts and attitudes based on both the third person narration and their own background knowledge Teachers create a focus or word wall to emphasize signal words and phrases used by first person or narrator Teachers provide two sample passages one written in first person point of view one written in third person point of view for students to compare Teachers ask students to discuss why one point of view would be more effective than the other

Reading Lesson 5 ndash Chapters 4 and 5 Race to the Top Resources p 20
Close reading Do a quick read aloud of Chapter 4 Leave students time for the close reading selection from Chapter 5 This lesson is about close reading with the goal of helping students understand how their comprehension changes and deepens through rereading the same text for different purposes
Divide the close reading activity into steps with students discussing their notes with a partner after each step or use your own close reading sequence
Students can answer the text-dependent question directly from their notes on the handout (Appendix C) If students need support they should complete the three step journal process before starting to answer the text-dependent questions
For the Lesson Closing of Lesson 5 after students have written their journal responses provide feedback by modeling an answer to one of the questions

Performance Assessment
Writing Task
There are several important turning
points in which Bud makes a decision
that changes the course of the story
Students will choose one of these
events write an explanation of what
happened and give his or her opinion
about why this scene is important to
the development of the plot Here are
some suggestions of turning point
scenes (other possibilities may be
selected by students)
Performance Task
Based (in part) on the scenes of turning
points listed above and possibly other
turning points that students have
selected compose small groups of
enough students to dramatize the
scenes Assign each small group a set
of pages containing a scene Students
then work in small groups to dramatize
one of the turning point scenes If
possible have a small group of
students dramatize the scene they all
wrote about However due to numbers
in your class some small groups may
need to dramatize a scene they didnrsquot
write about (that you select)

Each group decides where to begin and
end the scene which characters are in
the scene and the role of the narrator
(if a narrator is needed) The group will
decide if the scene should be from
Budrsquos perspective or if a more neutral
role such as a narrator would
strengthen the scene The group will
need to rehearse the scene so the
characters know what to say They do
not have to write out a script or read
exactly from the book but will need to

RL53 Compare and contrast two or more characters settings or events in a story or drama drawing on specific details in the text (eg how characters interact)
This standard asks for the student to examine key traits from a text and compare and contrast them Use of a graphic organizer (eg Venn diagram or T-chart may assist students to understand the complexities of the characters settings and events through listing details) Teachers provide graphic organizers (eg T-chart Venn diagram or 2-3 columns) to assist in identifying and organizing story elements Teachers provide various examples of comparisons between characters setting or events to serve as a guide for students (Compare the main characters in The Secret Garden Frances Hodgson Burnett)
Literature Response In your journal create a character map of the main character in the historical novel you are reading Show how the character changes (or develops) over the course of the text Compare your character with one chosen by a classmate How are the characters similar How are they different (RL52 RL53) Pre-Reading Cards As a pre-reading activity provide students with index cards that have story element clues on them (ie a card might be labelled Setting ndash A small town) Have students read or hear read the first chapter of a selection Students record any inferences predictions or conclusions they develop based on what they heard Once students have completed the reading they review the cards to see how well they were able to infer predict or draw conclusions about the story element listed on their cards Later this can be turned into a short research paper that includes details from the text that support studentsrsquo original thoughts This activity can be adapted for shorter selections by reading only the first paragraph Story Map Using the story map strategy helps students focus on the major aspects or elements of a story such as setting character conflict rising action and resolution Initially these organizers can be created for whole groups to contribute as they become more familiar students can create story maps for texts they read independently There are a number of graphic variations on a story map available online ReadWriteThink (sponsored by the International Reading Association and National Council of Teachers of English) has an interactive version that students can complete located at httpwwwreadwritethinkorgfilesresourcesinteractivesstorymap Sample Questions How are Keisha and Lawanda alike and different What specific details from the story support your comparison bull What do you learn about Chris and John by the way they compete for the prize How are they alike and different Use specific details from the

The emphasis of this standard is the identification of the techniques used by the author to influence the readersrsquo feelings and attitudes The point of view of the narrator can impact the way that events are perceived through the use of techniques of characterization First person point of view can allow the reader to have a greater understanding of the emotions and thoughts of the character This causes the reader to relate and forge a bond with the character or narrator Third person point of view is more versatile because when the narrator reveals a character readers will perceive emotions thoughts and attitudes based on both the third person narration and their own background knowledge Teachers create a focus or word wall to emphasize signal words and phrases used by first person or narrator Teachers provide two sample passages one written in first person point of view one written in third person point of view for students to compare Teachers ask students to discuss why one point of view would be more effective than the other

Explanation of Standard Instructional Strategies and Activities
RL59 Compare and contrast stories in the same genre (eg mysteries and adventure stories) on their approaches to similar themes and topics
This standard asks students to look at two or more works with the same theme or topic Students consider the effect of the authorsrsquo different approaches Students use charts and graphic organizers to assist them with examining the differences and similarities between stories Teachers have students work with partners or groups to compare and contrast two stories regarding similar topics (eg Misty of Chincoteague by Marguerite Henry and Black Beauty by Anna Sewell both tell the story of a horse and the relationship with their owners)
Comparing Across Books Lesson Plan
Class Discussion Why do tricksters ignore conventional cultural behavior Why are these characters often personifications and not human What impact does culture have on the tale Talk with a classmate to share ideas and then write your favorite ideas down in your journal prior to class discussion (RL59) Tall Tales ndash Genre Study Students read and discuss folk tales focusing on character actions and traits In collaborative groups students work to summarize plot points and character traits As a group post story information onto a multi-story character-study matrix which includes appearance ability setting relationships with others problems accomplishments and resolutions The process can be repeated for multiple characters across books so that characters can be compared and contrasted An example of a character-study matrix can be found at Read Write Think at httpwwwreadwritethinkorgfilesresourceslesson-docsSampleCharacterMatrixpdf
Sample Questions bull How are ______ (text title) and ______ (text title) alike and different in their approach to similar themes Which text is more effective in relaying this theme Why Use examples from both texts to support your answer (Texts should be two stories of the same genremdashtwo mysteries or two adventure stories) bull How are ______ (text title) and ______ (text title) alike and different in their approach to similar topics Which text is more interesting Why Use examples from both texts to support your answer (Texts should be two stories of the same genremdashtwo mysteries or two adventure stories)

RL53 Compare and contrast two or more characters settings or events in a story or drama drawing on specific details in the text (eg how characters interact)
This standard asks for the student to examine key traits from a text and compare and contrast them Use of a graphic organizer (eg Venn diagram or T-chart may assist students to understand the complexities of the characters settings and events through listing details) Teachers provide graphic organizers (eg T-chart Venn diagram or 2-3 columns) to assist in identifying and organizing story elements Teachers provide various examples of comparisons between characters setting or events to serve as a guide for students (Compare the main characters in The Secret Garden Frances Hodgson Burnett)
Literature Response In your journal create a character map of the main character in the historical novel you are reading Show how the character changes (or develops) over the course of the text Compare your character with one chosen by a classmate How are the characters similar How are they different (RL52 RL53) Pre-Reading Cards As a pre-reading activity provide students with index cards that have story element clues on them (ie a card might be labelled Setting ndash A small town) Have students read or hear read the first chapter of a selection Students record any inferences predictions or conclusions they develop based on what they heard Once students have completed the reading they review the cards to see how well they were able to infer predict or draw conclusions about the story element listed on their cards Later this can be turned into a short research paper that includes details from the text that support studentsrsquo original thoughts This activity can be adapted for shorter selections by reading only the first paragraph Story Map Using the story map strategy helps students focus on the major aspects or elements of a story such as setting character conflict rising action and resolution Initially these organizers can be created for whole groups to contribute as they become more familiar students can create story maps for texts they read independently There are a number of graphic variations on a story map available online ReadWriteThink (sponsored by the International Reading Association and National Council of Teachers of English) has an interactive version that students can complete located at httpwwwreadwritethinkorgfilesresourcesinteractivesstorymap Sample Questions How are Keisha and Lawanda alike and different What specific details from the story support your comparison bull What do you learn about Chris and John by the way they compete for the prize How are they alike and different Use specific details from the

Students will develop their understanding of words phrases and figurative language through read-aloud stories teacher modeling and student-centered activities that are presented in the classroom Students will interpret words in many contexts Students highlight and discuss figurative language as it is encountered in text Students illustrate the literal and figurative meanings of figurative language (eg He lost his head running on empty frog in my throat)
Pinterest Board with Anchor Charts and Ideas for Figurative Language
Vocabulary and Context Clues Students research the origins of selected idioms to reinforce their meanings Teachers encourage students to look for similes as they read independent novels and books (eg In Sadako and the Thousand Paper Cranes Eleanor Coerr Sadako says I am a turtle But is she really a turtle She is behaving like a turtle when she is not running fast)
Poetic Devices Not only do poets use a variety of formats rhyme schemes and meters but they use specific devices to make their poems unique Find examples of similes metaphors alliteration and onomatopoeia in poems from this unit and mark them with coded sticky notes Create a T-chart in your journal that includes the technique and examples of each Try to write your own poem that uses at least two of the techniques found (RL54 L55 W54) Anchor Charts Anchor charts are tools to aid students in remembering procedures and expectations related to topics in any content area They should be made with the students and added to throughout the year Post anchor charts in the classroom where they are easily accessible to students Anchor chart topics in reading could include class-generated information around general questions like ldquowhat do good readers dordquo or specific topics like figurative language In each case the charts would include information that explains and supports the studentsrsquo abilities to comprehend and evaluate text Picture Book Language Give small groups of students several picture books and have them look for words and phrases from those texts that reflect figurative language Have the scribe for the group record these words and phrases Group members should determine the specific type of figurative language the author used for each word or phrase found (ie simile metaphor) Each group can share their examples with the class and provide rationales for how each word or phrase was labelled Lesson Plans and Activities

RL56 Describe how a narratorrsquos or speakerrsquos point of view influences how events are described
The emphasis of this standard is the identification of the techniques used by the author to influence the readersrsquo feelings and attitudes The point of view of the narrator can impact the way that events are perceived through the use of techniques of characterization First person point of view can allow the reader to have a greater understanding of the emotions and thoughts of the character This causes the reader to relate and forge a bond with the character or narrator Third person point of view is more versatile because when the narrator reveals a character readers will perceive emotions thoughts and attitudes based on both the third person narration and their own background knowledge Teachers create a focus or word wall to emphasize signal words and phrases used by first person or narrator Teachers provide two sample passages one written in first person point of view one written in third person point of view for students to compare Teachers ask students to discuss why one point of view would be more effective than the other

RL53 Compare and contrast two or more characters settings or events in a story or drama drawing on specific details in the text (eg how characters interact)
This standard asks for the student to examine key traits from a text and compare and contrast them Use of a graphic organizer (eg Venn diagram or T-chart may assist students to understand the complexities of the characters settings and events through listing details) Teachers provide graphic organizers (eg T-chart Venn diagram or 2-3 columns) to assist in identifying and organizing story elements Teachers provide various examples of comparisons between characters setting or events to serve as a guide for students (Compare the main characters in The Secret Garden Frances Hodgson Burnett)
Literature Response In your journal create a character map of the main character in the historical novel you are reading Show how the character changes (or develops) over the course of the text Compare your character with one chosen by a classmate How are the characters similar How are they different (RL52 RL53) Pre-Reading Cards As a pre-reading activity provide students with index cards that have story element clues on them (ie a card might be labelled Setting ndash A small town) Have students read or hear read the first chapter of a selection Students record any inferences predictions or conclusions they develop based on what they heard Once students have completed the reading they review the cards to see how well they were able to infer predict or draw conclusions about the story element listed on their cards Later this can be turned into a short research paper that includes details from the text that support studentsrsquo original thoughts This activity can be adapted for shorter selections by reading only the first paragraph Story Map Using the story map strategy helps students focus on the major aspects or elements of a story such as setting character conflict rising action and resolution Initially these organizers can be created for whole groups to contribute as they become more familiar students can create story maps for texts they read independently There are a number of graphic variations on a story map available online ReadWriteThink (sponsored by the International Reading Association and National Council of Teachers of English) has an interactive version that students can complete located at httpwwwreadwritethinkorgfilesresourcesinteractivesstorymap Sample Questions How are Keisha and Lawanda alike and different What specific details from the story support your comparison bull What do you learn about Chris and John by the way they compete for the prize How are they alike and different Use specific details from the

RL54 Determine the meaning of words and phrases as they are used in a text hellipincluding figurative language such as metaphors and similes
Students will develop their understanding of words phrases and figurative language through read-aloud stories teacher modeling and student-centered activities that are presented in the classroom Students will interpret words in many contexts Students highlight and discuss figurative language as it is encountered in text Students illustrate the literal and figurative meanings of figurative language (eg He lost his head running on empty frog in my throat)
Pinterest Board with Anchor Charts and Ideas for Figurative Language
Vocabulary and Context Clues Students research the origins of selected idioms to reinforce their meanings Teachers encourage students to look for similes as they read independent novels and books (eg In Sadako and the Thousand Paper Cranes Eleanor Coerr Sadako says I am a turtle But is she really a turtle She is behaving like a turtle when she is not running fast)
Poetic Devices Not only do poets use a variety of formats rhyme schemes and meters but they use specific devices to make their poems unique Find examples of similes metaphors alliteration and onomatopoeia in poems from this unit and mark them with coded sticky notes Create a T-chart in your journal that includes the technique and examples of each Try to write your own poem that uses at least two of the techniques found (RL54 L55 W54) Anchor Charts Anchor charts are tools to aid students in remembering procedures and expectations related to topics in any content area They should be made with the students and added to throughout the year Post anchor charts in the classroom where they are easily accessible to students Anchor chart topics in reading could include class-generated information around general questions like ldquowhat do good readers dordquo or specific topics like figurative language In each case the charts would include information that explains and supports the studentsrsquo abilities to comprehend and evaluate text Picture Book Language Give small groups of students several picture books and have them look for words and phrases from those texts that reflect figurative language Have the scribe for the group record these words and phrases Group members should determine the specific type of figurative language the author used for each word or phrase found (ie simile metaphor) Each group can share their examples with the class and provide rationales for how each word or phrase was labelled Lesson Plans and Activities

RL56 Describe how a narratorrsquos or speakerrsquos point of view influences how events are described
The emphasis of this standard is the identification of the techniques used by the author to influence the readersrsquo feelings and attitudes The point of view of the narrator can impact the way that events are perceived through the use of techniques of characterization First person point of view can allow the reader to have a greater understanding of the emotions and thoughts of the character This causes the reader to relate and forge a bond with the character or narrator Third person point of view is more versatile because when the narrator reveals a character readers will perceive emotions thoughts and attitudes based on both the third person narration and their own background knowledge Teachers create a focus or word wall to emphasize signal words and phrases used by first person or narrator Teachers provide two sample passages one written in first person point of view one written in third person point of view for students to compare Teachers ask students to discuss why one point of view would be more effective than the other

Close reading Do a quick read aloud of Chapter 4 Leave students time for the close reading selection from Chapter 5 This lesson is about close reading with the goal of helping students understand how their comprehension changes and deepens through rereading the same text for different purposes
Divide the close reading activity into steps with students discussing their notes with a partner after each step or use your own close reading sequence
Students can answer the text-dependent question directly from their notes on the handout (Appendix C) If students need support they should complete the three step journal process before starting to answer the text-dependent questions
For the Lesson Closing of Lesson 5 after students have written their journal responses provide feedback by modeling an answer to one of the questions

Performance Assessment
Writing Task
There are several important turning
points in which Bud makes a decision
that changes the course of the story
Students will choose one of these
events write an explanation of what
happened and give his or her opinion
about why this scene is important to
the development of the plot Here are
some suggestions of turning point
scenes (other possibilities may be
selected by students)
Performance Task
Based (in part) on the scenes of turning
points listed above and possibly other
turning points that students have
selected compose small groups of
enough students to dramatize the
scenes Assign each small group a set
of pages containing a scene Students
then work in small groups to dramatize
one of the turning point scenes If
possible have a small group of
students dramatize the scene they all
wrote about However due to numbers
in your class some small groups may
need to dramatize a scene they didnrsquot
write about (that you select)

not have to write out a script or read
exactly from the book but will need to
accurately represent the characters
and the content of the scene

RL53 Compare and contrast two or more characters settings or events in a story or drama drawing on specific details in the text (eg how characters interact)
This standard asks for the student to examine key traits from a text and compare and contrast them Use of a graphic organizer (eg Venn diagram or T-chart may assist students to understand the complexities of the characters settings and events through listing details) Teachers provide graphic organizers (eg T-chart Venn diagram or 2-3 columns) to assist in identifying and organizing story elements Teachers provide various examples of comparisons between characters setting or events to serve as a guide for students (Compare the main characters in The Secret Garden Frances Hodgson Burnett)
Literature Response In your journal create a character map of the main character in the historical novel you are reading Show how the character changes (or develops) over the course of the text Compare your character with one chosen by a classmate How are the characters similar How are they different (RL52 RL53) Pre-Reading Cards As a pre-reading activity provide students with index cards that have story element clues on them (ie a card might be labelled Setting ndash A small town) Have students read or hear read the first chapter of a selection Students record any inferences predictions or conclusions they develop based on what they heard Once students have completed the reading they review the cards to see how well they were able to infer predict or draw conclusions about the story element listed on their cards Later this can be turned into a short research paper that includes details from the text that support studentsrsquo original thoughts This activity can be adapted for shorter selections by reading only the first paragraph Story Map Using the story map strategy helps students focus on the major aspects or elements of a story such as setting character conflict rising action and resolution Initially these organizers can be created for whole groups to contribute as they become more familiar students can create story maps for texts they read independently There are a number of graphic variations on a story map available online ReadWriteThink (sponsored by the International Reading Association and National Council of Teachers of English) has an interactive version that students can complete located at httpwwwreadwritethinkorgfilesresourcesinteractivesstorymap Sample Questions How are Keisha and Lawanda alike and different What specific details from the story support your comparison bull What do you learn about Chris and John by the way they compete for the prize How are they alike and different Use specific details from the

RL54 Determine the meaning of words and phrases as they are used in a text hellipincluding figurative language such as metaphors and similes
Students will develop their understanding of words phrases and figurative language through read-aloud stories teacher modeling and student-centered activities that are presented in the classroom Students will interpret words in many contexts Students highlight and discuss figurative language as it is encountered in text Students illustrate the literal and figurative meanings of figurative language (eg He lost his head running on empty frog in my throat)
Pinterest Board with Anchor Charts and Ideas for Figurative Language
Vocabulary and Context Clues Students research the origins of selected idioms to reinforce their meanings Teachers encourage students to look for similes as they read independent novels and books (eg In Sadako and the Thousand Paper Cranes Eleanor Coerr Sadako says I am a turtle But is she really a turtle She is behaving like a turtle when she is not running fast)
Poetic Devices Not only do poets use a variety of formats rhyme schemes and meters but they use specific devices to make their poems unique Find examples of similes metaphors alliteration and onomatopoeia in poems from this unit and mark them with coded sticky notes Create a T-chart in your journal that includes the technique and examples of each Try to write your own poem that uses at least two of the techniques found (RL54 L55 W54) Anchor Charts Anchor charts are tools to aid students in remembering procedures and expectations related to topics in any content area They should be made with the students and added to throughout the year Post anchor charts in the classroom where they are easily accessible to students Anchor chart topics in reading could include class-generated information around general questions like ldquowhat do good readers dordquo or specific topics like figurative language In each case the charts would include information that explains and supports the studentsrsquo abilities to comprehend and evaluate text Picture Book Language Give small groups of students several picture books and have them look for words and phrases from those texts that reflect figurative language Have the scribe for the group record these words and phrases Group members should determine the specific type of figurative language the author used for each word or phrase found (ie simile metaphor) Each group can share their examples with the class and provide rationales for how each word or phrase was labelled Lesson Plans and Activities

RL55 Explain how a series of chapters scenes or stanzas fits together to provide the overall structure of a particular story drama or poem Text Features
The emphasis of this standard is the structure of a story and how the structure is made up of separate parts Students benefit from understanding the components of the story and plot such as the exposition rising action climax falling action and resolution The combination of structural elements come together to create a final piece Students create maps of the plot structure to outline the key events of the text Students rearrange the events and put them back in order Students diagram the plot of different selections using a graphic organizer to diagram the structures (eg Use the plot diagram to show exposition rising action climax denouement conclusion flowchart to show event divisions in chapters)

RL56 Describe how a narratorrsquos or speakerrsquos point of view influences how events are described
The emphasis of this standard is the identification of the techniques used by the author to influence the readersrsquo feelings and attitudes The point of view of the narrator can impact the way that events are perceived through the use of techniques of characterization First person point of view can allow the reader to have a greater understanding of the emotions and thoughts of the character This causes the reader to relate and forge a bond with the character or narrator Third person point of view is more versatile because when the narrator reveals a character readers will perceive emotions thoughts and attitudes based on both the third person narration and their own background knowledge Teachers create a focus or word wall to emphasize signal words and phrases used by first person or narrator Teachers provide two sample passages one written in first person point of view one written in third person point of view for students to compare Teachers ask students to discuss why one point of view would be more effective than the other

Reading Lesson 5 ndash Chapters 4 and 5 Race to the Top Resources p 20
Close reading Do a quick read aloud of Chapter 4 Leave students time for the close reading selection from Chapter 5 This lesson is about close reading with the goal of helping students understand how their comprehension changes and deepens through rereading the same text for different purposes
Divide the close reading activity into steps with students discussing their notes with a partner after each step or use your own close reading sequence
Students can answer the text-dependent question directly from their notes on the handout (Appendix C) If students need support they should complete the three step journal process before starting to answer the text-dependent questions
For the Lesson Closing of Lesson 5 after students have written their journal responses provide feedback by modeling an answer to one of the questions

RL53 Compare and contrast two or more characters settings or events in a story or drama drawing on specific details in the text (eg how characters interact)
This standard asks for the student to examine key traits from a text and compare and contrast them Use of a graphic organizer (eg Venn diagram or T-chart may assist students to understand the complexities of the characters settings and events through listing details) Teachers provide graphic organizers (eg T-chart Venn diagram or 2-3 columns) to assist in identifying and organizing story elements Teachers provide various examples of comparisons between characters setting or events to serve as a guide for students (Compare the main characters in The Secret Garden Frances Hodgson Burnett)
Literature Response In your journal create a character map of the main character in the historical novel you are reading Show how the character changes (or develops) over the course of the text Compare your character with one chosen by a classmate How are the characters similar How are they different (RL52 RL53) Pre-Reading Cards As a pre-reading activity provide students with index cards that have story element clues on them (ie a card might be labelled Setting ndash A small town) Have students read or hear read the first chapter of a selection Students record any inferences predictions or conclusions they develop based on what they heard Once students have completed the reading they review the cards to see how well they were able to infer predict or draw conclusions about the story element listed on their cards Later this can be turned into a short research paper that includes details from the text that support studentsrsquo original thoughts This activity can be adapted for shorter selections by reading only the first paragraph Story Map Using the story map strategy helps students focus on the major aspects or elements of a story such as setting character conflict rising action and resolution Initially these organizers can be created for whole groups to contribute as they become more familiar students can create story maps for texts they read independently There are a number of graphic variations on a story map available online ReadWriteThink (sponsored by the International Reading Association and National Council of Teachers of English) has an interactive version that students can complete located at httpwwwreadwritethinkorgfilesresourcesinteractivesstorymap Sample Questions How are Keisha and Lawanda alike and different What specific details from the story support your comparison bull What do you learn about Chris and John by the way they compete for the prize How are they alike and different Use specific details from the

Students will develop their understanding of words phrases and figurative language through read-aloud stories teacher modeling and student-centered activities that are presented in the classroom Students will interpret words in many contexts Students highlight and discuss figurative language as it is encountered in text Students illustrate the literal and figurative meanings of figurative language (eg He lost his head running on empty frog in my throat)
Pinterest Board with Anchor Charts and Ideas for Figurative Language
Vocabulary and Context Clues Students research the origins of selected idioms to reinforce their meanings Teachers encourage students to look for similes as they read independent novels and books (eg In Sadako and the Thousand Paper Cranes Eleanor Coerr Sadako says I am a turtle But is she really a turtle She is behaving like a turtle when she is not running fast)
Poetic Devices Not only do poets use a variety of formats rhyme schemes and meters but they use specific devices to make their poems unique Find examples of similes metaphors alliteration and onomatopoeia in poems from this unit and mark them with coded sticky notes Create a T-chart in your journal that includes the technique and examples of each Try to write your own poem that uses at least two of the techniques found (RL54 L55 W54) Anchor Charts Anchor charts are tools to aid students in remembering procedures and expectations related to topics in any content area They should be made with the students and added to throughout the year Post anchor charts in the classroom where they are easily accessible to students Anchor chart topics in reading could include class-generated information around general questions like ldquowhat do good readers dordquo or specific topics like figurative language In each case the charts would include information that explains and supports the studentsrsquo abilities to comprehend and evaluate text Picture Book Language Give small groups of students several picture books and have them look for words and phrases from those texts that reflect figurative language Have the scribe for the group record these words and phrases Group members should determine the specific type of figurative language the author used for each word or phrase found (ie simile metaphor) Each group can share their examples with the class and provide rationales for how each word or phrase was labelled Lesson Plans and Activities

The emphasis of this standard is the identification of the techniques used by the author to influence the readersrsquo feelings and attitudes The point of view of the narrator can impact the way that events are perceived through the use of techniques of characterization First person point of view can allow the reader to have a greater understanding of the emotions and thoughts of the character This causes the reader to relate and forge a bond with the character or narrator Third person point of view is more versatile because when the narrator reveals a character readers will perceive emotions thoughts and attitudes based on both the third person narration and their own background knowledge Teachers create a focus or word wall to emphasize signal words and phrases used by first person or narrator Teachers provide two sample passages one written in first person point of view one written in third person point of view for students to compare Teachers ask students to discuss why one point of view would be more effective than the other

Close reading Do a quick read aloud of Chapter 4 Leave students time for the close reading selection from Chapter 5 This lesson is about close reading with the goal of helping students understand how their comprehension changes and deepens through rereading the same text for different purposes
Divide the close reading activity into steps with students discussing their notes with a partner after each step or use your own close reading sequence
Students can answer the text-dependent question directly from their notes on the handout (Appendix C) If students need support they should complete the three step journal process before starting to answer the text-dependent questions
For the Lesson Closing of Lesson 5 after students have written their journal responses provide feedback by modeling an answer to one of the questions

Close reading Do a quick read aloud of Chapter 4 Leave students time for the close reading selection from Chapter 5 This lesson is about close reading with the goal of helping students understand how their comprehension changes and deepens through rereading the same text for different purposes
Divide the close reading activity into steps with students discussing their notes with a partner after each step or use your own close reading sequence
Students can answer the text-dependent question directly from their notes on the handout (Appendix C) If students need support they should complete the three step journal process before starting to answer the text-dependent questions
For the Lesson Closing of Lesson 5 after students have written their journal responses provide feedback by modeling an answer to one of the questions

The emphasis of this standard is the identification of the techniques used by the author to influence the readersrsquo feelings and attitudes The point of view of the narrator can impact the way that events are perceived through the use of techniques of characterization First person point of view can allow the reader to have a greater understanding of the emotions and thoughts of the character This causes the reader to relate and forge a bond with the character or narrator Third person point of view is more versatile because when the narrator reveals a character readers will perceive emotions thoughts and attitudes based on both the third person narration and their own background knowledge Teachers create a focus or word wall to emphasize signal words and phrases used by first person or narrator Teachers provide two sample passages one written in first person point of view one written in third person point of view for students to compare Teachers ask students to discuss why one point of view would be more effective than the other

Close reading Do a quick read aloud of Chapter 4 Leave students time for the close reading selection from Chapter 5 This lesson is about close reading with the goal of helping students understand how their comprehension changes and deepens through rereading the same text for different purposes
Divide the close reading activity into steps with students discussing their notes with a partner after each step or use your own close reading sequence
Students can answer the text-dependent question directly from their notes on the handout (Appendix C) If students need support they should complete the three step journal process before starting to answer the text-dependent questions
For the Lesson Closing of Lesson 5 after students have written their journal responses provide feedback by modeling an answer to one of the questions

Close reading Do a quick read aloud of Chapter 4 Leave students time for the close reading selection from Chapter 5 This lesson is about close reading with the goal of helping students understand how their comprehension changes and deepens through rereading the same text for different purposes
Divide the close reading activity into steps with students discussing their notes with a partner after each step or use your own close reading sequence
Students can answer the text-dependent question directly from their notes on the handout (Appendix C) If students need support they should complete the three step journal process before starting to answer the text-dependent questions
For the Lesson Closing of Lesson 5 after students have written their journal responses provide feedback by modeling an answer to one of the questions

The emphasis of this standard is the identification of the techniques used by the author to influence the readersrsquo feelings and attitudes The point of view of the narrator can impact the way that events are perceived through the use of techniques of characterization First person point of view can allow the reader to have a greater understanding of the emotions and thoughts of the character This causes the reader to relate and forge a bond with the character or narrator Third person point of view is more versatile because when the narrator reveals a character readers will perceive emotions thoughts and attitudes based on both the third person narration and their own background knowledge Teachers create a focus or word wall to emphasize signal words and phrases used by first person or narrator Teachers provide two sample passages one written in first person point of view one written in third person point of view for students to compare Teachers ask students to discuss why one point of view would be more effective than the other

Reading Lesson 5 ndash Chapters 4 and 5 Race to the Top Resources p 20
Close reading Do a quick read aloud of Chapter 4 Leave students time for the close reading selection from Chapter 5 This lesson is about close reading with the goal of helping students understand how their comprehension changes and deepens through rereading the same text for different purposes
Divide the close reading activity into steps with students discussing their notes with a partner after each step or use your own close reading sequence
Students can answer the text-dependent question directly from their notes on the handout (Appendix C) If students need support they should complete the three step journal process before starting to answer the text-dependent questions
For the Lesson Closing of Lesson 5 after students have written their journal responses provide feedback by modeling an answer to one of the questions

Performance Assessment
Writing Task
There are several important turning
points in which Bud makes a decision
that changes the course of the story
Students will choose one of these
events write an explanation of what
happened and give his or her opinion
about why this scene is important to
the development of the plot Here are
some suggestions of turning point
scenes (other possibilities may be
selected by students)
Performance Task
Based (in part) on the scenes of turning
points listed above and possibly other
turning points that students have
selected compose small groups of
enough students to dramatize the
scenes Assign each small group a set
of pages containing a scene Students
then work in small groups to dramatize
one of the turning point scenes If
possible have a small group of
students dramatize the scene they all
wrote about However due to numbers
in your class some small groups may
need to dramatize a scene they didnrsquot
write about (that you select)

RL56 Describe how a narratorrsquos or speakerrsquos point of view influences how events are described
The emphasis of this standard is the identification of the techniques used by the author to influence the readersrsquo feelings and attitudes The point of view of the narrator can impact the way that events are perceived through the use of techniques of characterization First person point of view can allow the reader to have a greater understanding of the emotions and thoughts of the character This causes the reader to relate and forge a bond with the character or narrator Third person point of view is more versatile because when the narrator reveals a character readers will perceive emotions thoughts and attitudes based on both the third person narration and their own background knowledge Teachers create a focus or word wall to emphasize signal words and phrases used by first person or narrator Teachers provide two sample passages one written in first person point of view one written in third person point of view for students to compare Teachers ask students to discuss why one point of view would be more effective than the other

Close reading Do a quick read aloud of Chapter 4 Leave students time for the close reading selection from Chapter 5 This lesson is about close reading with the goal of helping students understand how their comprehension changes and deepens through rereading the same text for different purposes
Divide the close reading activity into steps with students discussing their notes with a partner after each step or use your own close reading sequence
Students can answer the text-dependent question directly from their notes on the handout (Appendix C) If students need support they should complete the three step journal process before starting to answer the text-dependent questions
For the Lesson Closing of Lesson 5 after students have written their journal responses provide feedback by modeling an answer to one of the questions

Performance Assessment
Writing Task
There are several important turning
points in which Bud makes a decision
that changes the course of the story
Students will choose one of these
events write an explanation of what
happened and give his or her opinion
about why this scene is important to
the development of the plot Here are
some suggestions of turning point
scenes (other possibilities may be
selected by students)
Performance Task
Based (in part) on the scenes of turning
points listed above and possibly other
turning points that students have
selected compose small groups of
enough students to dramatize the
scenes Assign each small group a set
of pages containing a scene Students
then work in small groups to dramatize
one of the turning point scenes If
possible have a small group of
students dramatize the scene they all
wrote about However due to numbers
in your class some small groups may
need to dramatize a scene they didnrsquot
write about (that you select)

not have to write out a script or read
exactly from the book but will need to
accurately represent the characters
and the content of the scene

RL56 Describe how a narratorrsquos or speakerrsquos point of view influences how events are described
The emphasis of this standard is the identification of the techniques used by the author to influence the readersrsquo feelings and attitudes The point of view of the narrator can impact the way that events are perceived through the use of techniques of characterization First person point of view can allow the reader to have a greater understanding of the emotions and thoughts of the character This causes the reader to relate and forge a bond with the character or narrator Third person point of view is more versatile because when the narrator reveals a character readers will perceive emotions thoughts and attitudes based on both the third person narration and their own background knowledge Teachers create a focus or word wall to emphasize signal words and phrases used by first person or narrator Teachers provide two sample passages one written in first person point of view one written in third person point of view for students to compare Teachers ask students to discuss why one point of view would be more effective than the other

points listed above and possibly other
turning points that students have
selected compose small groups of
enough students to dramatize the
scenes Assign each small group a set
of pages containing a scene Students
then work in small groups to dramatize
one of the turning point scenes If
possible have a small group of
students dramatize the scene they all
wrote about However due to numbers
in your class some small groups may
need to dramatize a scene they didnrsquot
write about (that you select)

RL56 Describe how a narratorrsquos or speakerrsquos point of view influences how events are described
The emphasis of this standard is the identification of the techniques used by the author to influence the readersrsquo feelings and attitudes The point of view of the narrator can impact the way that events are perceived through the use of techniques of characterization First person point of view can allow the reader to have a greater understanding of the emotions and thoughts of the character This causes the reader to relate and forge a bond with the character or narrator Third person point of view is more versatile because when the narrator reveals a character readers will perceive emotions thoughts and attitudes based on both the third person narration and their own background knowledge Teachers create a focus or word wall to emphasize signal words and phrases used by first person or narrator Teachers provide two sample passages one written in first person point of view one written in third person point of view for students to compare Teachers ask students to discuss why one point of view would be more effective than the other

RL59 Compare and contrast stories in the same genre (eg mysteries and adventure stories) on their approaches to similar themes and topics
This standard asks students to look at two or more works with the same theme or topic Students consider the effect of the authorsrsquo different approaches Students use charts and graphic organizers to assist them with examining the differences and similarities between stories Teachers have students work with partners or groups to compare and contrast two stories regarding similar topics (eg Misty of Chincoteague by Marguerite Henry and Black Beauty by Anna Sewell both tell the story of a horse and the relationship with their owners)
Comparing Across Books Lesson Plan
Class Discussion Why do tricksters ignore conventional cultural behavior Why are these characters often personifications and not human What impact does culture have on the tale Talk with a classmate to share ideas and then write your favorite ideas down in your journal prior to class discussion (RL59) Tall Tales ndash Genre Study Students read and discuss folk tales focusing on character actions and traits In collaborative groups students work to summarize plot points and character traits As a group post story information onto a multi-story character-study matrix which includes appearance ability setting relationships with others problems accomplishments and resolutions The process can be repeated for multiple characters across books so that characters can be compared and contrasted An example of a character-study matrix can be found at Read Write Think at httpwwwreadwritethinkorgfilesresourceslesson-docsSampleCharacterMatrixpdf
Sample Questions bull How are ______ (text title) and ______ (text title) alike and different in their approach to similar themes Which text is more effective in relaying this theme Why Use examples from both texts to support your answer (Texts should be two stories of the same genremdashtwo mysteries or two adventure stories) bull How are ______ (text title) and ______ (text title) alike and different in their approach to similar topics Which text is more interesting Why Use examples from both texts to support your answer (Texts should be two stories of the same genremdashtwo mysteries or two adventure stories)

Close reading Do a quick read aloud of Chapter 4 Leave students time for the close reading selection from Chapter 5 This lesson is about close reading with the goal of helping students understand how their comprehension changes and deepens through rereading the same text for different purposes
Divide the close reading activity into steps with students discussing their notes with a partner after each step or use your own close reading sequence
Students can answer the text-dependent question directly from their notes on the handout (Appendix C) If students need support they should complete the three step journal process before starting to answer the text-dependent questions
For the Lesson Closing of Lesson 5 after students have written their journal responses provide feedback by modeling an answer to one of the questions

turning points that students have
selected compose small groups of
enough students to dramatize the
scenes Assign each small group a set
of pages containing a scene Students
then work in small groups to dramatize
one of the turning point scenes If
possible have a small group of
students dramatize the scene they all
wrote about However due to numbers
in your class some small groups may
need to dramatize a scene they didnrsquot
write about (that you select)

points listed above and possibly other
turning points that students have
selected compose small groups of
enough students to dramatize the
scenes Assign each small group a set
of pages containing a scene Students
then work in small groups to dramatize
one of the turning point scenes If
possible have a small group of
students dramatize the scene they all
wrote about However due to numbers
in your class some small groups may
need to dramatize a scene they didnrsquot
write about (that you select)

Close reading Do a quick read aloud of Chapter 4 Leave students time for the close reading selection from Chapter 5 This lesson is about close reading with the goal of helping students understand how their comprehension changes and deepens through rereading the same text for different purposes
Divide the close reading activity into steps with students discussing their notes with a partner after each step or use your own close reading sequence
Students can answer the text-dependent question directly from their notes on the handout (Appendix C) If students need support they should complete the three step journal process before starting to answer the text-dependent questions
For the Lesson Closing of Lesson 5 after students have written their journal responses provide feedback by modeling an answer to one of the questions

points listed above and possibly other
turning points that students have
selected compose small groups of
enough students to dramatize the
scenes Assign each small group a set
of pages containing a scene Students
then work in small groups to dramatize
one of the turning point scenes If
possible have a small group of
students dramatize the scene they all
wrote about However due to numbers
in your class some small groups may
need to dramatize a scene they didnrsquot
write about (that you select)

selected compose small groups of
enough students to dramatize the
scenes Assign each small group a set
of pages containing a scene Students
then work in small groups to dramatize
one of the turning point scenes If
possible have a small group of
students dramatize the scene they all
wrote about However due to numbers
in your class some small groups may
need to dramatize a scene they didnrsquot
write about (that you select)

Reading Lesson 5 ndash Chapters 4 and 5 Race to the Top Resources p 20
Close reading Do a quick read aloud of Chapter 4 Leave students time for the close reading selection from Chapter 5 This lesson is about close reading with the goal of helping students understand how their comprehension changes and deepens through rereading the same text for different purposes
Divide the close reading activity into steps with students discussing their notes with a partner after each step or use your own close reading sequence
Students can answer the text-dependent question directly from their notes on the handout (Appendix C) If students need support they should complete the three step journal process before starting to answer the text-dependent questions
For the Lesson Closing of Lesson 5 after students have written their journal responses provide feedback by modeling an answer to one of the questions

Performance Assessment
Writing Task
There are several important turning
points in which Bud makes a decision
that changes the course of the story
Students will choose one of these
events write an explanation of what
happened and give his or her opinion
about why this scene is important to
the development of the plot Here are
some suggestions of turning point
scenes (other possibilities may be
selected by students)
Performance Task
Based (in part) on the scenes of turning
points listed above and possibly other
turning points that students have
selected compose small groups of
enough students to dramatize the
scenes Assign each small group a set
of pages containing a scene Students
then work in small groups to dramatize
one of the turning point scenes If
possible have a small group of
students dramatize the scene they all
wrote about However due to numbers
in your class some small groups may
need to dramatize a scene they didnrsquot
write about (that you select)

not have to write out a script or read
exactly from the book but will need to
accurately represent the characters
and the content of the scene

points listed above and possibly other
turning points that students have
selected compose small groups of
enough students to dramatize the
scenes Assign each small group a set
of pages containing a scene Students
then work in small groups to dramatize
one of the turning point scenes If
possible have a small group of
students dramatize the scene they all
wrote about However due to numbers
in your class some small groups may
need to dramatize a scene they didnrsquot
write about (that you select)

Reading Lesson 5 ndash Chapters 4 and 5 Race to the Top Resources p 20
Close reading Do a quick read aloud of Chapter 4 Leave students time for the close reading selection from Chapter 5 This lesson is about close reading with the goal of helping students understand how their comprehension changes and deepens through rereading the same text for different purposes
Divide the close reading activity into steps with students discussing their notes with a partner after each step or use your own close reading sequence
Students can answer the text-dependent question directly from their notes on the handout (Appendix C) If students need support they should complete the three step journal process before starting to answer the text-dependent questions
For the Lesson Closing of Lesson 5 after students have written their journal responses provide feedback by modeling an answer to one of the questions

Performance Assessment
Writing Task
There are several important turning
points in which Bud makes a decision
that changes the course of the story
Students will choose one of these
events write an explanation of what
happened and give his or her opinion
about why this scene is important to
the development of the plot Here are
some suggestions of turning point
scenes (other possibilities may be
selected by students)
Performance Task
Based (in part) on the scenes of turning
points listed above and possibly other
turning points that students have
selected compose small groups of
enough students to dramatize the
scenes Assign each small group a set
of pages containing a scene Students
then work in small groups to dramatize
one of the turning point scenes If
possible have a small group of
students dramatize the scene they all
wrote about However due to numbers
in your class some small groups may
need to dramatize a scene they didnrsquot
write about (that you select)

Each group decides where to begin and
end the scene which characters are in
the scene and the role of the narrator
(if a narrator is needed) The group will
decide if the scene should be from
Budrsquos perspective or if a more neutral
role such as a narrator would
strengthen the scene The group will
need to rehearse the scene so the
characters know what to say They do
not have to write out a script or read
exactly from the book but will need to
accurately represent the characters
and the content of the scene
Criteria for Success (see CEPA Rubric)

Reading Lesson 5 ndash Chapters 4 and 5 Race to the Top Resources p 20
Close reading Do a quick read aloud of Chapter 4 Leave students time for the close reading selection from Chapter 5 This lesson is about close reading with the goal of helping students understand how their comprehension changes and deepens through rereading the same text for different purposes
Divide the close reading activity into steps with students discussing their notes with a partner after each step or use your own close reading sequence
Students can answer the text-dependent question directly from their notes on the handout (Appendix C) If students need support they should complete the three step journal process before starting to answer the text-dependent questions
For the Lesson Closing of Lesson 5 after students have written their journal responses provide feedback by modeling an answer to one of the questions

Performance Assessment
Writing Task
There are several important turning
points in which Bud makes a decision
that changes the course of the story
Students will choose one of these
events write an explanation of what
happened and give his or her opinion
about why this scene is important to
the development of the plot Here are
some suggestions of turning point
scenes (other possibilities may be
selected by students)
Performance Task
Based (in part) on the scenes of turning
points listed above and possibly other
turning points that students have
selected compose small groups of
enough students to dramatize the
scenes Assign each small group a set
of pages containing a scene Students
then work in small groups to dramatize
one of the turning point scenes If
possible have a small group of
students dramatize the scene they all
wrote about However due to numbers
in your class some small groups may
need to dramatize a scene they didnrsquot
write about (that you select)

not have to write out a script or read
exactly from the book but will need to
accurately represent the characters
and the content of the scene

points listed above and possibly other
turning points that students have
selected compose small groups of
enough students to dramatize the
scenes Assign each small group a set
of pages containing a scene Students
then work in small groups to dramatize
one of the turning point scenes If
possible have a small group of
students dramatize the scene they all
wrote about However due to numbers
in your class some small groups may
need to dramatize a scene they didnrsquot
write about (that you select)

turning points that students have
selected compose small groups of
enough students to dramatize the
scenes Assign each small group a set
of pages containing a scene Students
then work in small groups to dramatize
one of the turning point scenes If
possible have a small group of
students dramatize the scene they all
wrote about However due to numbers
in your class some small groups may
need to dramatize a scene they didnrsquot
write about (that you select)

turning points that students have
selected compose small groups of
enough students to dramatize the
scenes Assign each small group a set
of pages containing a scene Students
then work in small groups to dramatize
one of the turning point scenes If
possible have a small group of
students dramatize the scene they all
wrote about However due to numbers
in your class some small groups may
need to dramatize a scene they didnrsquot
write about (that you select)

points listed above and possibly other
turning points that students have
selected compose small groups of
enough students to dramatize the
scenes Assign each small group a set
of pages containing a scene Students
then work in small groups to dramatize
one of the turning point scenes If
possible have a small group of
students dramatize the scene they all
wrote about However due to numbers
in your class some small groups may
need to dramatize a scene they didnrsquot
write about (that you select)

Close reading Do a quick read aloud of Chapter 4 Leave students time for the close reading selection from Chapter 5 This lesson is about close reading with the goal of helping students understand how their comprehension changes and deepens through rereading the same text for different purposes
Divide the close reading activity into steps with students discussing their notes with a partner after each step or use your own close reading sequence
Students can answer the text-dependent question directly from their notes on the handout (Appendix C) If students need support they should complete the three step journal process before starting to answer the text-dependent questions
For the Lesson Closing of Lesson 5 after students have written their journal responses provide feedback by modeling an answer to one of the questions

Performance Assessment
Writing Task
There are several important turning
points in which Bud makes a decision
that changes the course of the story
Students will choose one of these
events write an explanation of what
happened and give his or her opinion
about why this scene is important to
the development of the plot Here are
some suggestions of turning point
scenes (other possibilities may be
selected by students)
Performance Task
Based (in part) on the scenes of turning
points listed above and possibly other
turning points that students have
selected compose small groups of
enough students to dramatize the
scenes Assign each small group a set
of pages containing a scene Students
then work in small groups to dramatize
one of the turning point scenes If
possible have a small group of
students dramatize the scene they all
wrote about However due to numbers
in your class some small groups may
need to dramatize a scene they didnrsquot
write about (that you select)

not have to write out a script or read
exactly from the book but will need to
accurately represent the characters
and the content of the scene

Reading Lesson 5 ndash Chapters 4 and 5 Race to the Top Resources p 20
Close reading Do a quick read aloud of Chapter 4 Leave students time for the close reading selection from Chapter 5 This lesson is about close reading with the goal of helping students understand how their comprehension changes and deepens through rereading the same text for different purposes
Divide the close reading activity into steps with students discussing their notes with a partner after each step or use your own close reading sequence
Students can answer the text-dependent question directly from their notes on the handout (Appendix C) If students need support they should complete the three step journal process before starting to answer the text-dependent questions
For the Lesson Closing of Lesson 5 after students have written their journal responses provide feedback by modeling an answer to one of the questions

Performance Assessment
Writing Task
There are several important turning
points in which Bud makes a decision
that changes the course of the story
Students will choose one of these
events write an explanation of what
happened and give his or her opinion
about why this scene is important to
the development of the plot Here are
some suggestions of turning point
scenes (other possibilities may be
selected by students)
Performance Task
Based (in part) on the scenes of turning
points listed above and possibly other
turning points that students have
selected compose small groups of
enough students to dramatize the
scenes Assign each small group a set
of pages containing a scene Students
then work in small groups to dramatize
one of the turning point scenes If
possible have a small group of
students dramatize the scene they all
wrote about However due to numbers
in your class some small groups may
need to dramatize a scene they didnrsquot
write about (that you select)
