La Corte Suprema by Lisa Scorza

Build BackgroundHelp students understand that lawmakers pass laws, but sometimes people think those laws are unfair. Build interest by asking a question such as the following: Si una ley parece injusta, ¿qué pueden hacer los estadounidenses? Read the title and author. Point out that the word suprema means “la más importante”. Have students tell what they notice about the cover.

Introduce the TextGuide students through the text, noting important ideas and nonfi ction features. Help with unfamiliar language so that they can read the text successfully. Give special attention to target vocabulary. Here are some suggestions:

Pages 2–3: Tell students that this book gives information about the most important court in the United States. It is called the Supreme Court. Suggested language: Vayan a la página 2. El rótulo nos dice que cuando la gente no está de acuerdo con una ley, puede llevar su argumento a una corte. Pero la corte de esta foto es muy distinta a la Corte Suprema. Miren la foto de la página 3. Este es el edifi cio donde se reúne la Corte Suprema, en Washington D.C. A partir de la foto, ¿qué pueden decir sobre este edifi cio?

Page 4: Have students read the heading and tell what they will learn in this section. La gente que formó nuestro gobierno estaba convencida de que el rey o cualquier otro gobernante no debía tener todo el poder. ¿Por qué creen que estaban convencidos de que el poder para tomar decisiones no debía pertenecerle a una sola persona?

Page 5: Point out that the Supreme Court’s job is not to decide who is culpable of a crime, but to make sure laws are honestas for everyone. ¿Por qué las leyes deben ser justas y honestas?

Pages 6–7: Draw attention to the photos and the captions. Hay nueve jueces, y se reúnen en el salón que se muestra en la foto. Allí, los abogados de ambas partes hacen su discurso. No hay juicio ni jurado.

Ahora, vuelvan al comienzo del libro para descubrir cómo funciona la Corte Suprema.

Lesson 2: La Corte Suprema

3_323169_BL_VRTG_L02_TheSupremeCourt_SPA.indd 2 1/22/10 5:22:32 AM

ReadHave students read La Corte Suprema silently while you listen to individual students read. Support their problem solving and fl uency as needed.

Remind students to use the Infer/Predict Strategy to think about what they will learn next.

Discuss and Revisit the TextPersonal ResponseInvite students to share their personal responses to the book.Suggested language: ¿Cuál sería una pregunta interesante para hacer sobre la Corte Suprema?

Ways of ThinkingAs you discuss the text, help students understand these points:

Thinking Within the Text Thinking Beyond the Text Thinking About the Text

• The Supreme Court is the most important court in the United States.

• The nine justices hear cases about laws that might not be fair and legal.

• The decisions of the Supreme Court are fi nal.

• The Supreme Court can make sure that lawmakers don’t pass laws that are unfair or illegal.

• The justices of the Supreme Court must listen to both sides in the case and think about what the Constitution says about the issue.

• The checks and balances inherent in the three government branches play a essential role in making the U.S. government work.

• Each section answers the question in that section heading.

• The captions give more information about the photos.

• The author’s attitude is that the Supreme Court has a unique role to play in the U.S. government.

Choices for Further Support• Fluency Invite students to choose a passage from the text to read aloud. Remind

them to stress the proper words in a sentence to convey meaning.

• Comprehension Based on your observations of the students’ reading and discussion, revisit parts of the text to clarify or extend comprehension. Remind students to go back to the text to support their ideas.

• Phonics/Word Work Provide practice as needed with words and word parts, using examples from the text. Use the words injustas (p. 2) and ilegales (p. 10) to point out the negative prefi xes in- and i-. Have students add the prefi x in- to justas to make a word that means “not equal.” Have them add the prefi x i- to lógico to make a word that means “not logical.”

3_323169_BL_VRTG_L02_TheSupremeCourt_SPA.indd 3 1/22/10 5:22:32 AM

Writing about ReadingVocabulary PracticeHave students complete the Vocabulario questions on Hoja reproducible 2.1.

RespondingHave students complete the vocabulary activities on page 11. Remind them to answer the Word Teaser on page 12. (Answer: culpable)

Reading Nonfi ctionNonfiction Features: Introduction and Conclusion Remind students that nonfi ction has many features to help readers fi nd and understand important information. An introduction and a conclusion are two of those features.

Explain that the heading Introducción is a signal that the text in that section will introduce the information that will be in the book. Reading an introduction helps readers get ready for the information and start thinking about it. Have students fi nd the heading Introducción in the book and reread the three paragraphs. Ask them to write one sentence from the Introduction that gives the most important idea. (La Corte Suprema es la corte más importante del país).

Explain that the heading Conclusión signals text that will sum up what is in the book or point out an important idea. Have students fi nd the heading Conclusión and reread the section. Ask them to write one sentence that tells the important idea. (La Corte Suprema se asegura de que nuestras leyes son justas para todos).

Writing Prompt: Thinking Beyond the TextHave students write a response to the prompt on page 6.

Assessment Prompts• On page 7, fi nd the word that means se junta en un lugar.

• Find the sentence on page 5 that has words to describe good laws.

• What is the paragraph on page 8 mainly about?

Algunas veces la gente piensa que las leyes son injustas.

Supongamos que tú piensas que debes asistir a cualquier

escuela que quieras, pero la ley dice que no puedes. ¿Qué

haces?

Vas a la corte. En la corte dos bandos discuten cómo debe

funcionar la ley. La corte decide cuál bando tiene razón.

Cuando las otras cortes no pueden contestar preguntas

acerca de la ley, la Corte Suprema puede involucrarse. La Corte

Suprema es la corte más importante del país.

La gente que formó nuestro gobierno estaba convencida

de que el poder para tomar decisiones no debía pertenecer a

una sola persona.
