Date: __11/15/13____ Lesson # __5__ Common Core State Standard: CCSS.ELA-Literacy.RI.3.1 Ask and answer questions to demonstrate understanding of a text, referring explicitly to the text as the basis for the answers. CCSS.ELA-Literacy.RI.3.2 Determine the main idea of a text; recount the key details and explain how they support the main idea. CCSS.ELA-Literacy.RI.3.4 Determine the meaning of general academic and domain-specific words and phrases in a text relevant to a grade 3 topic or subject area. CCSS.ELA-Literacy.RI.3.5 Use text features and search tools (e.g., key words, sidebars, hyperlinks) to locate information relevant to a given topic efficiently. CCSS.ELA-Literacy.RI.3.7 Use information gained from illustrations (e.g., maps, photographs) and the words in a text to demonstrate understanding of the text (e.g., where, when, why, and how key events occur). I can learning target (related to your goal for the reader and the Common Core): I can make predictions using information from the text (including pictures and other text features) I can ask and answer questions about the text I can monitor my reading and use clarifying/decoding strategies I can summarize text by determining the main idea

headings and sub-headings that tell us what information we might find out. We can also use pictures and other clues to gather information, just like we do when reading a book.

print text.

Lets scroll down and look at the pictures on this page and read the bold headings together.

Just like in a book, this web page has some bolded words. To find the glossary, all we have to do is click on them and a mini glossary will pop up so we can find out what the word means. I will tell Alex that we are reading the sections about the three types of tunnels and how to make them. Predict: Now that we have looked over the web page, we can use the clues to make a prediction. What do you predict we will find out on this page? Clarify: There are some words on this page that might be tricky because we dont hear them too often. Some of them are words you probably wouldn't say very often unless you are talking about building something like a tunnel. Lets use our clarify strategy to look at a few words before we read. I see a big word in one of the sections excavation to figure this word out, Im going to look for a little chunk that I know. At the end of the word, I see tion, and I know that sounds like shun in some words like action. Now I will look at the beginning, and I know that e-x says ex. This makes me think of a word I know Excavation. How can we figure out the meaning of this word? (Since its not in the website glossary, use iPad dictionary or online

He was willing to clarify words on his own instead of skipping/guess ing or looking at me for help. The website was very difficult for him, so I decided to have him read even smaller sections that I had originally planned.

dictionary) Point out the word construction and have Alex clarify Question: Before we begin reading, I have a question to ask. My question starts with I wonder and I am wondering what kind of tools they use to make these tunnels. What is a question you have about tunnels that we might learn about today? We will take turns reading sections of text I will provide more support than usual so he doesnt get frustrated After reading the sections, we will click the link at the bottom to go to the tunnel challenge. To remember the answers, we can refer back to the web page or to book Tunnels from last week.

After reading discussion

Check predictions/questions: Were our predictions right? If not, what did we learn instead? Did we find out the answer to our question about how to build tunnels? We found out that there are different ways to build a tunnel depending on the type. Discuss information Now that we found out more information, we can add more to our Popplet about each kind of tunnel.

Check Verify predictions Share Reader talks about howhe/ she clarified a word (or an idea) Reflect on the helpfulness of the strategies

Alex loved using Popplet this time, even though he was not very interested in it last lesson. He was excited to add more and even pointed out that we could write more in the main summary sentence.

Share information: What was your favorite interesting fact you found out today? Summarize: Summarizing means we need to shorten up everything we learned and make it

into a sentence or two that tells only the most important parts. We will come up with a sentence together I can write if we are short on time. Which of the Fab Four strategies helped you the most as a reader today?
